Happy birthday, erika!
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

And so this rant doesn't gunk up erika's birthday happies:
So today is the day I broke. Had to run out of the house without breakfast, had to turn back for something and was 5 minutes late. Had 3 hours of meetings (with students) back to back and only now am eating. With a bit of luck, my headache will go away when the food hits and my blood sugar stabilizes.
Gah! I was stupid to let my life get so stressed out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Burrell, I'm pretty sure you had no control over most of the stressful parts of your life. Take care of yourself.

Thanks Jesse. I realize what I need most of all is a day off but that seems unlikely, or at the very least several weeks away.

Because books.
Aw, Burrell, those days suck. Can you take an hour later to close your eyes or even just get a latte or something?

I am drinking an absurdly oversweetened iced coffee right now (got it from the boba place, minus the boba) and it is helping immensely. AND I now have a yoga mat in my office, so a lie down later is not unreasonable.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Burrell, take care of yourself. You won't be able to do shit for others if you're breaking.
Oh, and you didn't *let* your life get this stressed out. So no taking the blame on that one.
Lean on us. We're here for you, in whatever way you need us to be.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
One rule of thumb I use when I start blaming myself is "realistically, would I yell at someone else if they did this, or would I understand?"
