Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Fancy cocktails with Jesse definitely helped my ratio!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There were no cheese or pickles, but it was still good!

Thanks to Lee on Facebook, I am now looking up Caribbean vacations...

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sitting in on a course in a university business school. It's actually a lot more interesting than I'd expected.

Our wings are not tired.

Anyone have any good methods for stopping an incipient crush?

Oh that is a tricky one. I am a natural flirt and generally good at keeping the crushing under control, but it is so easy for it to get messy and awkward. I'm still annoyed over one of my best friends that I would flirt with all the time. I knew he had a crush, but we were best buds and would go out to lunch together or whatever all the time. Until he got a girlfriend, then he couldn't anymore. What the hell? I was always married, we never dated, but now we aren't buds anymore because you are. People are flawed.

I just have to get to the 13th.

Fast forward now! May time fly without too much craziness for the duration.

Hillary was sitting next to me and making frustrated noises until the person stopped and let her explain it correctly.

I love when Buffistas visit my dreams. Get 'em, Hil.

Fancy cocktails with Jesse definitely helped my ratio!

Yes, this would help anyone's ratio. With or without cheese and pickles.

I am now looking up Caribbean vacations...

Ah, 12 days from now I shall be floating in the Caribbean with Pix and ND, and a cruise ship full of others. In anticipation I bought a pretty dress - [link]

And as of last night I have water! Plumber finally got here and fixed the broken stuff. So I showered. Woo! Now to do 3 days worth of dishes.

Also, still in a hate all stupid humans mode. I got super pissy with a customer last night. They have been vaguely saying there is an issue with prescribing for weeks. Takes them hours, get errors, etc. I have asked repeatedly, what user, what patient, what error, give me something to work with here. It works fine for me. Last night another email saying it had to be fixed tomorrow! All caps and all that. I wrote back that it was the same as asking the doctor to diagnose without seeing the patient or even getting a list of symptoms. I'm good, but not that good. I know they want me to go there or something, but this should be easy.

My patience is just gone for humans. Sigh. (wow, long post, let's see how many typos!)

Excellent call!! And that dress is great!

Six more days, Sara! You can do it!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Love that dress! Hooray water! Yay classes that are more interesting than they might be! Woo fancy cocktails! Dana dreaming about Hil explaining math properly warms the cockles of my heart.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have negative motivation to do anything.

I did pull out the tiny Christmas tree last night. Maybe I'll do that. But then I'd have to get up.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh, Fuck 2016. The awesome indie bookstore near me is closing: [link]

My son's GF helped me decorate the tree. Also, son's GF loves carrots. You have been spared much of my glee over having a lovely young woman around my house on a daily basis, but it is an absolute delight.

Oh Tom, that sucks! DH and I just watched "You've Got Mail" over the weekend which led to the indie bookstore conversation. He was holding me responsible because of my Nook love.
