Yeah, but we would love to see you, so I'll see how things go. We have the whole year.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Relatively cool here.(High 70s/low 80s for the high today. For late July that's downright chilly.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sounds like a general break is in order, Liese.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
And how. I kept saying I just needed to survive until sabbatical, but I don't suppose I expected to be all revved up once it actually started. I just have to survive until the end of sabbatical, and maybe it'll be better by then? I dunno.

Or maybe it won't be better (this is coming from someone who is just making it through the Worst Summer Break EVER) but you'll be able to handle what is going on because of sabbatical.

Always Anti-fascist!
I'm a little disappointed about having to get a medical jury exemption, but I need an attendant and it would just get too complicated.I would make a great juror, I think.(well, unless you wanted to get home early...those people would really hate my crippled ass by the end of it all, guaranteed)

Yeah, you totally had Not A Break At All.
I hope so. I'm pretty sure I can't handle things too much worse than I am right now. So it had better be better. Whic reminds me, I need to go start working on my psych screening.

I did enjoy my walk down to the harbor with the cool breeze. And I read a lot of Atlantic articles online (thank god for free wifi in the courts.) But I sure as hell would hate a multiweek trial. Of course, the one time I was seated, Dumbest Case Ever. I hated everyone in that case, both for what lead to it and for fucking wasting our time with complete bullshit. They all should have just kept taking turns beating up on each other (they sucked at causing actual injury) and putting up defamatory graffiti.
So that soured me a bit.

Well at least it will be later.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh Liese, I hope the sabbatical offers more respite than it now appears.
And Kat, you did get a bad break on the summer. I can't believe the school year is about to start! I just bought the kids school clothes. Isaac had outgrown all but 2 pairs of his pants.
