Hah, that should've said SAD diet breakfast.

Welcome back, Frankenbuddha

One more note about my fucked up job: There's a person in another department who plays a really critical liaison role. She has no backup. She is on vacation this week, and her out of office literally doesn't even refer you to anyone else -- you just have to wait until she is back.

Table and chair sanded and washed(other chair is broken and I haven't figured out how to fix yet.) once they dry, back to basement to await staining and sealing. But they need to get really dry. Operation attach hose to utility sink was a success!

Eat something and then clean car or maybe fix the spot of rust on my railing. :( !!! Something chipped the paint at some point.

Also? Opened the windows and airing out house! Spring!

Yay, spring!

And also, YAY amych!

Talk of Easter had me looking up pictures of the Easter Sunrise Service at Old Salem. It's a thing. The Moravian Band plays (as it does at Christmas Candlelight Lovefeast), people gather in the square by Christ Church and follow the band to God's Acre (stumbling over the brick sidewalks in the pre-dawn), the Moravian cemetery, where all the gravestones are identical flat white marble. The congregants arrange themselves to wait for the sun to breach the horizon, singing hymns and praying.

God's Acre has gates, brick pillars with a white-painted arch between them, scripture quotes lettered across the arch. My favorite one, tucked up under century old trees and giving onto the sidewalk along a row of 160 year old row houses, says, "Till the Day Break" on entry. And, "And the Shadows Flee Away" on exit.

I am consumed with fond nostalgia.

Oh, that sounds lovely.

I've been in meetings all morning. I just have one more left and then I'm going to slack off for a little while and do more computer research. There's one I'm looking at where I can get Windows 7, but it wouldn't ship until the 14th.

Ugh. My migraine had eased up overnight, but now it's back (the weather is INSANE right now, and my poor head has surrendered). I have to run to the grocery store, and then I am going to take ALL THE DRUGS that I possibly can (within safe limits) and then watching CA:TWS with the sound down low.

Maybe I'll get a Reese's Easter egg at the grocery store. I'm sure it would make me feel better.

Chip in paint on railing, fixed! And you can actually sit in the seats in my car.

Loki had enough outside time to morph into a growling wildcat.

Lest you think I'm too good at adulting, last night I took my recycling down, but failed to put it at the curb. WTF?

The good news is my coat rack arrived from UPS yesterday, and it unexpectedly has a marble base that's WAY too heavy for my cats to knock over. The bad news is it arrived without the wrench or the tines that the coats are supposed to hang from, so right now it's a loosely assembled extra-tall umbrella stand.
