Teaching makes for a small world, doesn't it?
I just whiffed the ball. Missed a meeting I scheduled that now can't be had before Tuesday. And it was shit I wanted to get off the ground pretty urgently too. This week is not my week.
Note to self: religion freaky.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Kat, that crash is so heartbreaking! Oh, those poor families!
I am tired and cranky and have so much work to do I can't possibly meet my deadlines. Plus a sick kid at home, and unavoidable distractions in the form of my sister coming and so needing to devote half the weekend to cleaning my sister's apt. Ugh. I am going to be so broken by summer.
Sorry for the whine. I should just keep my eye on tonight's reward: Book of Mormon tickets! And no fever, so I get to go!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm so sorry, Kat. When I heard about that on the radio I wondered if it was kids you might know.

OK, so I've been scanning in a whoooooole bunch of old pictures. And it's hilarious trying to date many of them. Some I went through at some point and wrote in captions, and put them in an album. Others are still in the envelope from the photo lab, and I went through for most of those and wrote "2/2003" or whatever on them. But some are loose, and some have no date. So I'm like "Well, so and so broke up a few months after I moved into that apartment, so this party must be June-July 2001?" and "Hmm, Burrell is playing with a small angry child in this picture, is it her kid or Aimee's? If so when is that?" (I later found a date on that one, 12/2003), and "Flea is pregnant in this picture, but there's no Casper in any of the other pictures, so maybe she's pregnant with Casper? When WAS that?"

Ha! I'm pretty sure that the kid in the 12/2003 picture has to be my first one.
DH has been uploading a bunch of old baby pics of the kids and pic from when I was pregnant. Good times! I hadn't forgotten how cute my baby girl was of course, but I had forgotten how visceral the punch is for me of seeing her wee perfection and her infectious smile. For example, this and this
oops, links don't work

Speaking of pics, Burrell, I still haven't given you those from that shoot, have I?

Not yet. Was just looking at those too. God, I was so young! Cody was even younger. Seems ages ago now.

There are two in particular that I am very fond of.

"Yet." A word rich with such implications, like I remember where my negative scanner thingummy is.
BUT I WILL. It's on my April list.
God, today is such a failure, it's epic.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Going back a little, thanks for the offer, Vortex. I have no idea if we'll be able to get up there. It depends on our schedule,which is fairly packed for the next couple of months. (There's also the whole Jewish funeral thing, with it being set very close to the death.)
There have been so many times lately that I've felt like screaming at people in the lab. Haven't, but I've grit my teeth a lot. Stupid crappy mood combined with lab newbies.
