I'm sorry, Lisa.
Sarameg, that sucks. I worked for a lousy company that held my organization's contract a while ago. We managed to get our organization bought out by another, better company. I hope you get a similar (or better) resolution soon.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh Lisa, I'm sorry.
It sucks but knowing how passionate he is about wanting to help people and do what he can to prevent such tragic endings helps.
Yeah. Someone has to be there for those people

I'm so sorry, Lisah.
That's sucks Sara. I hope some form of insurrection works.
There's a great line from the Canadian cop show Flashpoint: "We are catching people in the worst moments of their lives. The very worst moment. Now, what do they got if they don't have us?"

Timelies all!
I'm sorry, Lisa.
Woke up at ~2:30 am for no apparent reason. Did fall back to sleep quickly, but what the hell?

I have a cat head on my foot. Shadow is learning that I will not spend the day napping with him in bed, like his Daddy did. Also, he loves graham crackers.

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
Everyone adapts. Lucky was Rob's cat, and now she's mine. It's different, but we all eventually managed.
I'm glad there is a little bit of grace in your day.

That's a good cat, Shadow.
I think I am letting Family Swim time at the gym defeat me. I am weak.
Eta: but I signed up for a "permanent" locker and towel service, which is like investing in future exercise.

I'm fully accepting of the TMJ, but today the pain resolved to a very very specific point this afternoon, and now I'm also thinking cracked tooth due to teeth grinding. Still waiting on a callback from the dentist, and chiro tomorrow.
ION, Campbell's now has a very delicious soup I just discovered. Some sort of kettle cooked portabello mushroom bisque that is chock full of chunky mushrooms with just the right give to the tooth and is divine.

Dear brain:
I am allowed to go cash in that free pizza coupon I have, then take it and some cold diet Coke to a shady nearby park and eat it. You're allowed to step out of the routines. In fact, this is the first of many. Get practicing.
Damn, change makes me nauseous.

Well, that was a tedious evening. I am teaching a class in DC starting tomorrow at 9am, so I went to work all day, then caught the bus to the airport, did the whole spiel, then 15 minutes before I was scheduled to board they cancelled the flight (weather). mr. flea and the kids came to get me, we stopped at McDonald's because they hadn't had dinner, and got home at 8:30. And now I have to be back at the airport for a 6:15 am flight, arrive at 7:50, catch a cab and hopefully be ready to teach at 9am. Ugh. I suppose I should take a shower now rather than at 4am.
