We leave the house at 6:45 to catch the high school bus. The sun is currently rising at 7:30. And we're only at the equinox. SIGH.
Mal: How drunk was I last night? Jayne: Well I dunno. I passed out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wow. The sun rose today at 6:49 here.

We get sunrise, then we get "the sun clears the mountains". I like the time when it's more than visible enough to drive without headlights and the direct sunlight. But the way I can tell summer is over is when I can stand in the direct sunlight and go "Oh, nice" instead of "The orb! It burns!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My fucking job, I swear. The details are too stupid to get into, but I should always remember how important informal networks are here.

Completely unrelated: in my last purchase of candy to keep on my desk I picked up some 3 Musketeers that are apparently special for Halloween, labeled "Muskefears" and with the filling died red (well, it's supposed to be red, it's pretty much pink). My coworker who discovered this thinks they taste different, too, I am not familiar enough with the regular kind to be sure.
Anyway, I can't figure out what the reasoning is to turning the insides red to make it more spooky. If it's to make it, like, bloody when you bite into it, it does not give that effect at all.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I took a sick day and slept til 11. I feel like I've been kicked in the ribs repeatedly.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I took a sick day and have been trying to sleep but I can't. Stupid sinuses.

Neither of those sound good. I hope you feel better soon!

It seems to be the time of year for Inexplicable Blah.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Since I'm also not feeling well, I just made a mug of the office green tea. It tastes like grass. Ew.
