I am over scheduled with meetings and work and burning a leave day and then things keep blowing up that mean all that gets shoved off the table. And I still haven't had time to call roofers and contractors and holes still in walls.
So tired.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

This week has been slower at work, which is nice, but now I actually have to do work that I've been avoiding. Boo.
It doesn't help that I have a bunch of late meetings with Tokyo & Singapore and a bunch of early meetings with Toronto and Dublin. Sleep deprivation no matter what. Stagger those, mofos!
I would like to get married again so I can wear this, even though I would probably look terrible in it.
Fuck it, we should have a fancy dress party.

I am quite certain that that dress would look amazing on me, and pretty damn sure Dana could also rock it hard.
Have assembled my new lawn mower AND mown the lawn. Tired now. And hungry, for that matter. Oooh, maybe I will have beer to celebrate. I've got some kind of Westeros-referencing beer in the fridge that I've been saving for GoT new season, but today is close enough, and mowing the lawn makes beer sound really good, for some reason.

Can I just, well, not rant, but break down a little?
A friend of mine's son was diagnosed today with Angelman Syndrome.
It feels really heartbreaking. I offered hugs and just saying sorry. And I'd love to do more, but there isn't anything to do. I want to tell him that it will suck, it will suck so hard, and it will be beautiful sometimes and you will survive it all, even when it feels like you can't.

You can always break down a little, Kat. I'm sure having you around in any capacity when things suck and when they are beautiful will help your friend.
Hugs all around.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Kat, I hear you. It feels like not enough, but hugs and empathy and just being there for him is a lot.
I want to tell him that it will suck, it will suck so hard, and it will be beautiful sometimes and you will survive it all, even when it feels like you can't.
Maybe eventually you can tell him all of that. It can be hard to see the road ahead of someone else.

I had to google. Oof. All you can do is be an active listener, waiting for cues. It's given me things to do, though mostly just more listening.
