I seriously thought you meant the naval vessel.
I happily would sit through 45 minutes about the naval vessel over getting-to-know-you games.
I am in New York. So far so good. I need to sew this goddamn button on before I can go to bed.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

Today was the most monday of mondays. Around 2:00 PM I actually thought, "I cannot wait until 3:30 so I can go to my car and sit and cry on my way home."

Ugh, Kat, I'm sorry. Switching schools in the middle of the year is super rough. Although I (mostly) love my job now, when I started at my school last October, I had several weeks of feeling like, what the fuck did I just do?
sarameg, thank you for the giggles, especially the video!

Dear Bank,
Perhaps when I fail to activate the bank card you just sent me in my husband's name your systems will cross-reference themselves and see that he is no longer listed as a customer with your bank. He has ceased to be, he has rung down the curtain, shuffled off this mortal coil, and gone to join the choir invisible. He is an ex-customer.
Good God, I am now so tempted to call up their customer support and actually run through the Dead Parrot sketch at them. Hubby would laugh himself into a spasm. But odds are the customer service rep would just go "Huh?"

It was the Monday of Mondays. And my brother's bday and he's not answering, so.

Oh Kat, I'm sorry it was such a bad day.
ita, glad to hear lunch was good.

Connie I still occasionally get phone calls for my father who died in 1997.I always tell the caller that my father cannot be reached by telephone and that they need to use an entirely different medium.

I see what you did there.
Catching up to say, I had a great time at dinner with Maria as well - so glad we finally got to meet!
Kat, sorry today was so hard. Here's to a better tomorrow.
Which I just noticed, glancing at the computer clock, is actually today. I should give some serious thought to going to bed. 'Night, y'all.

Definitely Imminent Murder Cat. Even the kittens are Imminent Murder Kittens!
Though I am tempted to start a secret laboratory somewhere where we only breed the ones who don't immediately attack a gloved hand for a couple generations and see what we can get. Probably end up with Only Somewhat Imminent Murder Cats, alas.
How tired was I last night? I went to bed before the fresh bread I was baking was ready to be eaten, that's how tired. But at least I have fresh homemade bread to eat this morning, so there's that.

Hey, all.
Just want you to know I haven't fallen off the edge of the earth.
I was sick for week, and then the annual SAD/El depresso Nino effect hit. Better now, but mea culpa for anyone I ignored because of my descent into the mental Mines of Moria, with added Balrog mental torture.
Stupid winter; stupid holidays; stupid cat nuking my laptop with a full cup of tea when I have projects due.
I still love you all and miss you, even though I am typing on the slowest, oldest laptop unearthed and tweaked by my darling techy hubs.

Perfect for going-out clubbing or dancing bag, or as gift for young woman. Retailed brand new at $98; selling for $50 so we can afford gas money for Xmas travel. (Consignment shops turn their noses up since it's not leather or 2014._
If no takers, no hard feelings. I'm just exploring options.

Don't hate me for being desperate. I'd love to keep it (my MOM gave it to me) but pride goeth before fall.
Now, onward to working on freelance project so I can buy my stepson a plane ticket to KS for the Chrismannakah. Jeez, mornings before my 2nd cup of Irish brekfast are doleful.
Also --Christian Kane's fauxhawk in The Librarians is HAWT.
That is all, my darlings. Except I will be walking in the cold and returning to yoga practice to improve my SAD Vitamin intake and lower my stress levels.
I've missed you all, and much love to those who are also struggling.
