True, ,-t and Jesse. I may take a mid-day nap and see how I feel after that. I just got my Monday status reports out to my project managers. As such, I have a bit of a lull.

I'm also thinking I need to get my iron levels checked again. I have been running on fumes for weeks and no amount of sleep helps. I need to find a hematologist near our new place. I'm sticking with my regular doc, even with the distance, cause I adore her. But there have been enough changes at my old hematologist's office and it is even further away so it is time for a change. Once I get the umph up to deal.

Yeah, a nearby hematologist sounds like a good idea.

I managed to give myself a paper cut on my lip. Which would suck less if I wasn't having a root canal in an hour.

The higher-up I'm traveling with has the best rich person problems - he's made calls about issues with his boats and pool, and I think he just booked a private plane. Maybe he will be flying it? Good thing I like him, or he would be unbearable.

I will wear his diamond shoes if he needs. IJS.

I hate central time. Or more specifically, going from pacific TO central time. Mornings. Also hate: work system that is thankfully working again (after several hours with IT on Friday) but now has a bunch of messed up data in it--I think because I didn't finalize one thing before this thing started? Now I'm not sure what changes I can make to each. Going to have to manually write everything down and hope I can get the precious thing finalized quickly (...which I couldn't do last week because the system was down)

I am forcing myself not to schedule a few days in Vegas next summer, because I want to move next summer and I'll need those vacation days and that money. But--pool! Minions bearing cool things to drink! Comfy chairs to read in and nothing else to do but sit and read! And decide which restaurant to eat in!

edit: But Vegas in the summer is so fucking cheap from Salt Lake City!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

We had a wonderful summer weekend: work BBQ at the pool and tennis on Saturday, impromptu sail with friends on Sunday afternoon. Now Monday seems to quiet. But I do need to motivate myself to do some work so I can feel virtuous later.

This week represents a parenting fail on our parts: we managed to sign up one kid for camp but not the other. So I can't let having a kid at home keep me from working, but I also can't let him get so bored he pops! This will be a challenge, but oh well.

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

NorCal peeps, I may need to be in Sacramento next Tuesday. SMF is expensive. Are there any alternatives within reasonable driving distance? OAK? SJC? SFO?

Our wings are not tired.

Oakland is two hours away from Sac but if it's a work trip won't they just pay for the actual airport you need to visit?

I'm surprised SMF is expensive, it's often been a cheaper alternative for me. OAK is about a two hour drive to Sacto, longer if there's traffic. That's the closest.
