I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I wear birkies. My US size is ~9M, depending on the shoe and manufacturer (in running shoes I take a 9.5). I got up and looked at my birkies to see if I could find the sizes, but they've long since worn away. My clogs are over 20 years old and are on their fourth set of soles. Anyway, I seem to recall them running true to the listed European size conversions for my feet, if that helps.

Good luck with them, WS! I love mine (1 pair clogs, 2 pair sandals) and will probably get more as the budget allows.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Thanks, Calli.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, shrift. I hope the mindfulness helps!

"Sure, when I'm at work. And it only looks like I'm calm. If I said half of what I'm thinking, I'd get fired and someone would have to wash my mouth out with soap."

It me!

I'm off work today so they can move the office, but I've got to get my review done. Am trying to get in the right frame of mind.

I'm working from home today and it's probably just as well. My entire week has involved shortened sleep periods due to insomnia or (in the case of last night) staying up too late talking with friends. And while it's nothing compared to what new parents go through, adding 3-4 hours of sleep debt for a week running is really starting to wear on me. Headache, general crankiness. There's some sort of construction thing happening across the street, and I kinda want to take all their tools away from them and throw them in a volcano. As I'm in NC and volcanos are hard to come by locally, I will probably just complain to the cat about it.

And to y'all.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I don't even know how parents function. I am so bad without sleep.

I also have a horrible sleeping pattern. Monday I slept from midnight to six, Tuesday from 9 pm - 3 am, Wednesday from 11 pm - 1 am and 5 am - 7 am, and today I slept a normal 11 pm - 5 am. WHich probably means tomorrow I will be up at 2 or 3!!

That would kill me, Sophia.

I have done the look-back and next year's goals part of my review, now I have to do my development plan. I don't want to work on any areas next year! Fuuuuck.

I think it is genetic. My mom and my grandma also slept crazy weird hours.

Coding and Sleeping

I don't even know how parents function. I am so bad without sleep.

New parents use a very liberal definition of 'function'.
