Can someone quick-check me that it is Dianna Wynne Jones' birthday and I'm not an idiot? I have had far too much coffee and far too little sleep for unspecified reasons.

In other news, heads up for a book giveaway, coming to you via me in about 8 minutes.

Wiki says it is, Sox.

Thank you! COFFEE JITTERS

a mother's love is unconditional.

Don't some mother animals reject their offspring for various reasons? Including human mothers? What's the point of that sentence? I don't even get why it's fortunate someone caught tenderness--has this been a hostile relationship and this is a rare thing?

I feel like ass and I am trying to power through, but low-level depression is eating me from the inside. I hate everything.

Oh hai. Although I'm not trying that hard.

I'm not either. And my boss hates me.

I also think lots of reptiles, virtually all fish and invertebrates, and some birds like cuckoos would beg to differ as a species.

I plowed through paperwork yesterday in the hopes that I could train on dispatch today, but it is raining and all jobs cancelled. So now there is very little for me to do.

I do have personal calls I could make: Dr, dentist, eye dr.

And I could clear out and organize the supply cabinets, possibly emptying the bookshelf in my office so I could remove it.

SO much effort though.
