Natter 74: Ready or Not  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Not only am I stuck at home and unable to get to the doctor, or even get in touch with the doctor, I had to call in to a super boring conference call, by phone, so I can't see the screen everyone is discussing.

So tired. I had to get up for Reasons at 3 AM and didn't get back to bed till 4. I slept well and comfy till 7, but three hours was not sufficient to make up for the break. Blah.

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

My Fitbit kind of is the boss of me. But I lack discipline on my own. That's weird how y'all get recorded differently - I would be pretty unreasonable about that, I suspect.

I could turn on the step counter functionality of my phone, I suppose, but I also have no pockets. It is hard being me today. Or maybe very easy, if looked at from a certain angle. In any case, I'm not going to be able to get my 250 steps/hr during my 3 hour meeting, so maybe it's better to have another excuse to write off the day exercise-wise (until I get home, anyway).

I went to London with a friend who was 8 inches taller than me. I regularly had about 1K more steps recorded, as I had to compensate for my short legs.

Also, we would regularly check the weather app on our iPhones, hers a 6, mine a 5, and we'd be standing right next to each other, and be getting ever so slightly different weather reports/forecasts. Like the current temperature would be off by one degree, or my phone would have a rainy icon for tomorrow and hers would have showers. We decided we were travelling in paralell, but slightly off dimensions.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

So tired. I had to get up for Reasons at 3 AM and didn't get back to bed till 4. I slept well and comfy till 7, but three hours was not sufficient to make up for the break. Blah.

I couldn't fall asleep until about 4. I'm fortunate that since I work from home I could sleep a little longer, until 9, but I feel like a zombie right now. In fact, I think a zombie would do a better job editing that I can. Sheesh. Plus I feel a sleep-deprivation migraine trying to start.

I also didn't sleep last night, but today's my day off. I'm pretty sick of this nagging cough that's keeping me awake. I know it's getting better, but I want it gone.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I need to wake up. I was okay with a sleepy lazy weekend, but I'm not okay with a sleepy zombie Monday. I'm drinking green tea with ginseng, maybe that's not a good enough substitute for coffee for awakeness.

I kept waking up and thinking it was almost time to get up, and having nightmares that I overslept. Stupid 6am meeting. Three days this week I have 6am, and the other two I have 8am. So much for thinking working from home would mean I'd be able to go dance or something!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

In regard to hotel internet access, a while ago I found this article from a hotel industry site. You may find it interesting; I shared it with my co-workers who travel.

"Nor do airlines charge travelers additional money for the meals that they are served during flights."

American Airlines sure does. I was irritated.
