Mac - dude. It is for your own good to turn things in and put effort into your classes. It does not get easier. Build good habits now.
Msbelle - I'm so sorry. So frustrating. CJ is just NOW realizing he needs better study and organization habits. Thankfully I can't check his grades. If they slip, he gets kicked out of the program, so we will see what happens.
Also - fuck cancer in the ear with a rusty pitchfork.
I woke up with THE WORST headache. It hasn't gone migraine, thankfully, and so far Ibuprofen is allowing me to work as I have way too much to do.
In other fuck cancer news, my cousin has found out his liver cancer is recurring after two years in cancer-free remission. I believe this is his fourth bout with cancer (the first was an unconnected brain tumor that messed up his sight in one eye), and he'll be going in for an ablation to deal with it soon. Any spare health~ma sent his way would be greatly appreciated.
Oh Matt, that's terrible!
Universe, stop giving my friends crappy days, please. Thank you.
Oh mac, please get your head screwed on straight.
Matt, all the health~ma to your friend.
This shouldn't be so difficult, but I'm waffling on what to do. I have to be in Columbus on Wednesday for a 2:30 pm meeting. It's a six-hour drive, boss said fly, but now I don't know if I should get up at the ass-crack of dawn to leave at 6 am to land at 11:20 am that day or fly in the night before.
I always fly in the night before because getting up to be at the airport by 5am for a 6am flight means I'm a zombie all day.
Thanks, meara. That's what I was thinking, but I'm incapable of reasoning properly today.
Yeah, if you have that choice, it seems like a much better option.
Maria, go the night before.
I inherited a porch cat when I bought this place. He has his food, water, toys, and a heated mat on his private couch all on my porch.
Yesterday I watched (via Dropcam) a new neighbor's black cat come up and totally do a Goldilocks! Black cat ate Romeo's food, drank his water, slept for two hours on his heated mat, and played with every single toy (way more than Romeo). Am still laughing.
The kickstarter project I'm writing for went live this morning. I am NERVOUS.
Maria, agree with go the night before. If your flight is delayed, you still have options.
