I know that game well.

The thing I was hoping would be available by now just isn't. Oh well. Maybe tonight, maybe it will just have to wait for tomorrow morning anyway. I hate this end-of-month urgency that makes it seem as if it makes a huge difference if orders ship on Thursday or Friday when it only matters at all for our internal accounting.

The status is NOT quo.

Yay PR, meara!

I did nine miles this morning since I have a half marathon next weekend and am hurting now. I'm so out of shape compared to where I was before the injury, but at least I'm running again.

Now I need to be productive for the rest of th day. Shower, grocery store, and final project for my grad class. And grading. I'm grounded.

A highlight of my Uber shift was picking someone up from one of my dorms at BU (Shelton) and delivering her to Harvard (Science Center) where I'd taken classes at night. I crossed the Charles at least a dozen times, which never fails to make me happy, what with the boats and the crews and the runners and the skyline.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I napped most of the day yesterday, so today I'm catching up on student emails and working on job applications. Just got up to 50 applications sent out.

Yay, lisah!

Ha, downloading a newer citrix receiver seems to have solved my problem. That should not have been so difficult to figure out. I may celebrate by working from home tomorrow, now that I can...

I spent a big chunk of yesterday out in the cool damp, being social. So I'm spending today doing housework and snuggling with the cat, keeping warm. I saw the first hummingbird of the season on my feeder, which was nice.

I wonder if it's time to refill the hummingbird feeder.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My brother graduated, and he was the student speaker. I'm so fucking proud. Then the whole family bowled. For real. And then we had a tasty early dinner so my bro and SiL could get on the road. And now I'm full and sleepy. Is it too early to go to bed?

Congratulations to your brother, Steph! It sounds like a lovely afternoon.
