Sorry to read that, sara. (Part of me wants to read that as Goddard=slavery)

This third cup is a doozy. The joke Haggadah is surprisingly serviceable.

Hah. I resent them telling, rather than asking. But it's security clearance, albeit low level, so what you expect. Ridiculous part is it is for systems I've had access to for 20 years. And do now. But someone has to cross off new mission requirements. I get to waste time & gas.

Oooh, but it looks like ikea has my chair in stock! So I can get it this weekend. (For nonsecular folk, this weekend is about figuring out what's open.)

Oh, I see. Well, good to have that crossed off, I guess, even if the whole thing is stupid.

Hooray for IKEA being open!

I think I am going to try to get to the John Muir Historic site 9am tomorrow for a "saunter". That means I have to actually get out of bed in the morning, which will suck, but once I'm up it'll be good, I think.

I am at a dance weekend. I'm always so torn. These weekends depress the hell out of me because there are so many amazing dancers here that I will never be even half as good as. But the only way to get better is to go to stuff like this. So I go and get depressed. I'm thinking maybe next year I just skip it and give up

Aw, meara. Can you spend some time with crappy dancers to balance it out?

Can you spend some time with crappy dancers to balance it out?

Yes, meara, you should come to hang out with the Trianglistas and dance with me. You'll never doubt your dancing skills again. I've literally cried about my crappy dancing. More than once.

You guys, I had the most fun night last night. It all started when the one guy in the group (gay) asked me to take his picture with the view, because we were at a rooftop bar, and some girl near us insisted on taking our picture together, which we decided would be our engagement photo. Then, the place has these "igloos" that are heated, but they all had people in them, so we asked some strangers if we could join them, and ended up having the best time with them! It was exactly what I needed. I haven't had a random night like that in years.

Up at 7 on a Saturday for A/C repair appt? Yes Call at 8:15 that appt is cancelled due to company only sending half the parts they need? Yes

Trying to not get super grumpy about this injustice.

Coffee made, dishes washed, and I've cleared off half the late night tslk show monologues from TiVo.

Nail appt at 10.

I guess I could go back to bed for an hour. I could also shower and make try to cute myself up.

What to do for the rest of the day? Goal is to spend no money.

It's me waiting for Elijah.

I saw your pictures, so assuming he showed and I am sure he was also impressed.

But the only way to get better is to go to stuff like this. So I go and get depressed.

This is the way DH trains his basketball teams. In the summer he has them play against men's leagues where they get slaughtered week after week. Then during season when they play against equal teams they have that knowledge and experience. It is painful, but a valid way to improve.

Jesse! That sounds like so much fun. Yay for good times.

Today I am pouring coffee down then headed to a wedding planning luncheon. Whee! My knee is ever so grateful to not go to exercise class this morning. I talked to the trainer and may do more elliptical and less rowing machine. The treadmill is no issue, but my knee really hates the rower. We'll see.

I've cleared off half the late night tslk show monologues from TiVo.

Still getting a fair amount of my news from the late night shows. Easier to take that way.
