Since I work on the couch in an ergonomically horrifically manner, I can see an array of dinosaurs marching across the top of the TV (all of which were sneaked into the wedding reception and strategically placed on tables, gifts, etc., by Tim's best friend, who did one of the readings, which was a dinosaur-based reading [he really went all out; he even bought a dinosaur-shaped earring and wore it as a tie pin, which he later gave me]).

So I've got dinosaurs watching over me right now, which is reassuring.

Plus there's always Kato, who is 110% my mental-health therapy dog, even if he is unconscious a large part of the time.

Aw, that's sweet.

I have a gnome my grandfather carved on my desk to keep me company.

Difficult meeting was fine! Perhaps mostly because I think the person who has an issue with me is nonconfrontational, but whatever.

Hooray for that!

You know what I absofuckinglutely needed today? Communists. I never know when those stealthy bastards are going to invade anymore, and I was unprepared.

Ah ha ha! I am aware that the hormones have been half of my problem this week, and actually should be prepared since I'm pretty sure the Red Army will invade tomorrow.

If I can't do anything else, I make a pretty good cautionary tale.

-t, even when you know the Communist invasion is imminent, sometimes you still can be unprepared for the all-out engagement of hostilities that lead to stain remover errands.

It has been several months since the Communists have shown themselves in my neck of the woods. Perhaps my formidable defenses have persuaded them that I'm not worth the effort. Perhaps I should declare VC Day, Victory over the Communists.

That is true, shrift. True security is elusive despite all precautions.

Very true. I am living proof of that this month. Damn Communists.

Damn Commies! Though mine were fairly cooperative this month, timing-wise.

I am so irked by the people I'm working with today. They are idiots who haven't done anything I asked. And it's hard to keep the "omg why is this so hard for you???" Tone out of my voice. And then they're pissy. Argh.
