I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

I'm glad it's not me, having the Mondays. I stayed up too late too, reading a biography of Charlotte Bronte. I blame the Supermoon.

This whole combination of Monday and having to work for a living thing ain't right.

Oh yes.

My Monday has decided to remind me of all the things I haven't done, yet. Shut up, Monday.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

It's 75 here, going up to 80-something, and I really just want to go outside. Stupid work.

OH MY GOD, this meeting is already half an hour over. And it's going to be 91 today. Enough, summer. Just enough.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

~ma for your dad, Brenda. Hope everything's ok.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

So much ~ma for your dad, Brenda. I'm sending all the good thoughts and vibes your way.

not your mom's socks.

I need six more hours in today. Maybe seven. And someone to nap for me because I don't have time to do that and I'm tired.

I should have taken today off after my ridiculous busy weekend with very little sleep. But we have a big deadline coming up. But I thought I could work from the hotel lobby but it wants to charge me for Internet. So maybe I will go to the airport very early??

Because books.

Sending all the ~ma for your dad, brenda, and hugs and support for you and your sister. I hope he's better today.

I went to Old Navy today and actually found a cute pair of pants on sale, plus a sweater on clearance, and a hat I can hack for my Madeline costume for $0.49 -- and they couldn't take cash. Because they broke their safe (?!) and therefore didn't actually have cash drawers.

It was a good deal, and I want the things, but since I don't have a card to use, I have to go back, which sort of takes the shiny off it all.

A gov't contracts person turned children's singer in my town calls himself the Pied Piper of [my town]. He maybe never read the end of the story. Or he was too stupid to understand it. The DH and I, when we got stuck going to a performance, used to bet on how many songs he'd forget the words to and have to begin again.

I should probably go back to doing real work, and not reading my neighborhood email.
