Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

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)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

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.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Day two of karate dizziness. This is NOT COOL. If it is the new med, it is supposed to go away eventually. I haven't been in the dojo much and I don't want to avoid but this sucks. If it isn't the med, I'm kinda at a loss as to the cause. Which also sucks.

When we learn our techniques and forms we learn them "righty" but as you hit the upper belts, you need to be able to do them "righty" and "lefty". Today we worked on doing the forms "lefty". Talk about making my brain work on top of the dizzy crap. It was a good workout, despite the frustration.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

That's what we always think, though, I just need to get get through this part and then I'll be fine even though it doesn't usually work that way. I mean, there's fine and there's fine. And whatever "this" is, there's always other stuff and neglecting the other stuff because of "this" doesn't help with them. Can I vague that up any more?

You are a rockstar, Suzi! I hope the dizziness eases up shortly.
