Good use of public funds, would tax again

Thank you. This made me smile.

Also making me smile: a nearby walk-up window that used to sell bahn-mi (yum) and then sold Thai food (meh, not great) is now going to sell empanadas and breakfast tacos!

Also super exciting to me: I'm getting a new work laptop that won't be so ancient and creaky!

And I was able to get a hair appointment for before pride because my current hairdo is making me nuts.

...trying to celebrate the small things, today...

I paid off my credit card and I work from home, which means I can struggle through with a migraine because I can close the drapes and turn off the lights.

That's all I got today.

One more day of construction. Oy.

I'm glad for those of you with small joys. I am having one of Those Days. Because I didn't see the doctor until about an hour and a half after my scheduled appointment time, I was kind of light-headed. That, combined with (spoiler-fonted for girly) a fairly painful pelvic exam meant that as soon as the doctor left the room, I almost passed out. I thought I could make it over to the bench with my clothes. I was wrong. So now a nurse has seen me curled up on the floor, naked, trying not to pass out.

She was very nice and brought me a bottle of water and a snack, and I beat myself up for not eating a decent breakfast, but everything is just ick now. The parking at the doctor's office is always insanely stressful, and then I went to Panera to get some decent food, but even at 1:30 it was mobbed and parking was insane again, and it's 90 degrees outside, and I'm at the library (where parking was insane) trying to use the wifi to get some work done, but all of the desks are full because people actually use this library or some bullshit.

I will be fine. I have plans for more food and a shake before my 6:30 rehearsal.

Waiting for people to get back with me on things so I can finish work stuff. Twiddle thumbs.

I also don't want to go home in 2 hours. No good alternatives. I wish I had a nearby weekend cabin. This is why pets are an issue in my life, I cannot stay elsewhere.

I am having one of Those Days.

You totally are.

I'm taking the next couple of days to do a mindfulness meditation course, and I'm just accepting that my inbox will explode.

One of the course instructors looks and sounds like Alexander Skarsgard, which is entertaining me.

Damn, Dana! That is Not A Good Day. May it make up for its awfulness of the morning by granting you a delightful evening.

Yay, people got back to me on 3 of 4 things. Moving forward..

Oh man, Dana, that's a lot of no fun.

I got the voicemail of the annoying author who I was supposed to call (which I understand -- he's a physician, busy day, etc.). But he hasn't called me back yet, and I just took the most powerful of my migraine drugs, so if he calls, I am going to be tripping balls. Wooooooo.
