I also love flea's advice. It would serve her so right to be up chucked on!!
We did not see/feel any more mice (and are getting ready to leave now) Though I'm curious that lizards would be worse?
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Here is my problem. I have real thinky work to do and not a lot of time to do it. But it takes me a long time to prepare myself for the thinky work! Uggghhhh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And then other things come up and I have to deal with them! Argh.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Argh. I have a migraine and can't take more meds for 3 more hours. It's pretty much from the weather, but my super-power isn't controlling the weather, so I can't do anything about that.
(Honestly, I haven't had a bad migraine, or one that lasted for longer than 12 hours, since my doctor increased my BP meds in December. So I know I'm pretty lucky. But this one is definite kicking-my-face-and-inner-ear pain and it's pissing me off.)
Maybe painting my toenails will help. What drives away migraines? Dark blue?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Strawberry seeds are the worst. They are mitigating my enjoyment of my smoothie. I could strain it, I guess, but then that's more work, which just makes me more annoyed at the seeds.
And don't get me started on blackberries.
Edit: Okay, migraines are worse than strawberry seeds.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But are they as bad as raspberry seeds? Unclear!

Really don't get me started on raspberries. Nasty fruit that contaminates everything. The number of people that ruin perfectly good chocolate with raspberry...

Allergies + weather-related migraine = UGH. I feel you Steph.
I worked from home yesterday and I came in late today. My inbox is too explodey. I'm losing track of what I need to follow up on, and I'm trying to convince myself that I'm not being a failboat if I really am just that busy.

I hate work e-mails that open with "Just a friendly reminder..."

I have a phone interview for a bizarre-sounding "Learn Python on the job" scheme -- I checked and it's a legitimate recruiter, so who knows? I'd love to learn Python (programming language, not Monty) and would be good at it, too.
My experience in the job market makes me tend to be leary of such a good-sounding setup, but occasionally you strike gold. Or maybe it will be that the guy might have other leads. SIGH.
In the meantime, I'm still chugging my way through Wordpress tutorials on Lynda.com. If anybody wants some free WP work, let me know, I need to build a portfolio.
