One thing I've discovered about any kind of stay organized/motivated/etc. system is that I need to change up those systems every so often.

When something stops working for me (takes anywhere from two months to a year), I switch to something else for a while. Eventually, I'll go back to old systems that I'd given up on before - it feels kind of like listening to a song you once played to the point of being sick of it after not listening to it for a couple of years.

Now we can buy alcohol at 8am on a Sunday rather than 11am.

Isn't it amazing to finally be living someplace civilized?

Timelies all!

Another quiet Sunday here. (More so, since Gary's on a business trip)

Adulting!

Ooh, I need to try that verb.

Oh, that looks cool. I'm still bummed that the Sendak designed kid's play area, Where the Wild Things Are, closed in SF.

Checking in from Copenhagen, my body doesn't really know what time it is, but the interwebs tell me it's almost 5pm.

Just saying hello. I've been keeping up, just not had much to say.

Timelies, all! I'm getting ready to go to a 2-year old's birthday party. While I'm not the most child-focused woman ever, I'm very fond of this particular kid. I've even babysat for her on occasion, something I haven't done for anyone else outside the family since high school. The sitting has mostly involved dancing around to the Clash and reading books, so, good times. I'm a little less sanguine about hanging out with the other children and their parents, as I don't know them and they're probably not nearly as cool as the birthday girl. But there will be cake.

Good morning!

It's super gloomy around here, which is perfect really. Lots to do that 'outside' excuses cannot put asunder.

Actually, in the midst of grief and overwhelm about something else, I got some fun news about a project I'm pretty proud of.

Now that the weight on my heart is easing, it may just be time to get that underway.

Stay tuned. I will need clicky help.

In the meanwhile, I'm wrapping the entire board in an appreciative, warm hug (or energy for those who prefer) on this day of at least some rest.

Pretty sure I have a sinus infection. My poor little face is swollen. Well, not swollen like stung-like-a-bee-oh-god-anaphylaxis; just very, very puffy. I mean, I'm fat, but my face doesn't normally look like this. Also, my entire sinus cavity hurts, from my eye sockets all the way down to my teeth. All my teeth. And it's been like this all week, and getting slightly worse each day.

I've been trying to cast it out with OTC stuff (mucinex, ibuprofen, the good sudafed) and a neti pot, but it's fairly stubborn. I don't know if my doctor is even open tomorrow b/c of the MLK holiday, so I might go to urgent care. Except that seems excessive for a sinus infection. OTOH, I could start drugs sooner if I go today.

This has been your Oh God My Sinuses whine for the day.
