I took a nap, which left me feeling worse than when I started.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I hate when that happens, Theo. Hope you feel better soon, Pix!
Oh, hey results are posted! 15th in my age group and 203 overall (out of 252). Neat!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Very nice!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
YAY 5K!
so 11 hour Saturday. ugh. and I really pissed off one contractor. oh well. onward and upward. taking break to get food in me and then I'll start on the schedule for Monday.
Oh before I can work on the schedule I have to get on mac's computer and adjust the parental controls for 2 hours of activity/per day, plus get Khan academy bookmarked on there with his log on, plus get his band music program on there and bookmarked, plus change my master password. Today sucks.

Good lord, msbelle. That's way too much for one day. Especially a Saturday.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
After trying on fifty gazillion bras, I got two, as they were having a buy one get the second for 60% off. I saw myself naked in the dressing room mirror, had the usual "Oh my god, I am hideous, fat and old and I can't believe Jason would ever want to touch me" reaction, but unlike usually, I managed to cool myself out. So I am kinda proud of myself.
I was so proud of myself I treated myself to a cardigan and a cool shirt with birdies on it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ugh, msbelle. Are you off the clock (well, the work bits, anyway) tomorrow?
My nurse came a day early because I was in so much pain. Bless her.
I'm going to use Uber to get home from the procedure Monday (well, and to--I've sworn off taxis for the nonce), and I hope they consider having a car come for me better than a taxi.
Their expectations are unreasonable.
More hellos and and thank yous and glad to be back a little (not glad a little, back a little--I'm only in Natter for the nonce) to the new old people.
Nice numbers, -t!
I've started doing a million things for my insomnia--I got a new mattress, get offline and turn off the screen two hours before I try and sleep, etc. My latest thing is hypnosis/meditation tapes. My current fave is Mindifi, which is pretty effective, although my mind has started wandering like a mo fo.
Anyone else use these? Do you have any recommendations for good programs for calming, getting to sleep, getting back to sleep, etc? And in back of it I have either rain or sea sounds. So far, due to audio considerations so it doesn't overpower the words, I'm using some quieter pitched rain sounds. So my bedroom always sounds like water.
