since I slept until 3pm, I am now wide awake at midnight. tomorrow is gonna suck. also my stomach is growling.

3pm? Like as a nap or you slept the entire morning and early afternoon? That's impressive if so!! Sucks that you're now v awake though.

I Meara...

I think one of the hardest parts of parenting must be not keeping a grudge. Earlier this morning, the kids next door were getting in trouble and then an hour later, they were teaching the little one how to ride a two-wheeler. I feel like I would still be annoyed from the earlier stuff!

As a parent I presume the ill-behavior and am thrilled at any of the good behavior so that's still a full win with no grudging.

To be fair, it really was one of the nicest days of the year today.

Then you made the right choice.

The woman helping me kept laughing at how cute one of the frames was when I tried them on, which could be a sales tactic but hey.

It's worth it just for the interaction!

Oh, and I passed my last mothertrucking final exam

Stanford Certified!

I had a moment where I was wondering if people were doing the walk of shame after a costume party

Heh. I woke up to the sound of helicopter over our apartment (which is GG Park adjacent) so I knew there was some event going on. Bay to Breakers is a nightmare to deal with driving - and I've come home from my Tom Waits tour [LA to SF] and gotten stuck in it for an hour - but there was no driving in it today.

What is Harlots?

It is an historical TV show.

Italy is giving away castles!

Woke up at 3:30, couldn't get back to sleep & just got whinier about it, so I'm taking a mental health day. Been a while since I had one.

Msbelle, it sounds like your yesterday was my Saturday.

Are there two sinus things going around? I had a cold last month and now I've got something that is definitely more than allergies. I can feel the 12-hour Claritin D wearing off at around 10.5 hours. The good news is yesterday was mostly headache-free.

3:30pm?

Yep, I wasn't asleep the whole time, but I was in bed with my eyes closed.

I managed sleep last night soon after midnight and was late to work within the normal timeframe.

After I was whiny and mopy yesterday, my back feels a lot better today. It still hurts, but it's like someone threw a switch, and it's a normal amount of hurt instead of "oh Jesus why" hurt.

I am glad your back is feeling good.

I have been awake since 2:30 am- I am not sure if I don't feel well because I woke up, or if I woke up because I didn't feel well. I did watch the first two episodes of Twin Peaks. I have no expectations because I don't want to be disappointed, but I liked it.

So on my first day as the vice boss my boss is off, and we've gotten involved in a hilarious sort of kerfuffle about a book someone chained up in our stacks that we thought was done by a patron (presumably mentally ill) but turns out to be some kind of art project that was so secret nobody was informed about it. We called security and had facilities remove it (with a bolt cutter) and now we're frantically trying to get it back. #leadership
