I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

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

She is lucky to have you, Jesse

Our wings are not tired.

edit to remove work bitching...

So yeah, I think I will take a break and watch junk tv or something.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Fucking cold. I feel like death on a stick.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Left work two hours early, though I never saw any communication officially stating I could do that. Most people(including the head of the lab and my supervisor) weren't around, so why not?

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

I'm leaving in a few minutes. I'm not the last one here today! I decided that since we had the holiday on Monday and we were told to leave 2 hours early today, I can go when I hit 30 hours worked for the week.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds right, -t.

Thank you for the validation!

Hey I just realized I can assume Hazel isn't ALSO allergic to normal cat food, and start giving her all the half-full bags I still have. So there's an upside.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

In the quest to visit all of the doctors before my insurance resets, I had a sleep apnea study. I actually had the first one in Houston, so I needed the follow-up one, where they put you on a machine and adjust it throughout the night.

Did this Wednesday night, when I was starting to get sick and we had just gotten back from holiday travel the day before. For whatever combination of reasons, I slept like crap during the study. Did you know you could go a night without entering REM sleep? I did not. And the technician said they were doing a split study, where they monitored me part of the night and used the mask part of the night.

Got to the doctor today and found out that the technician MISREAD the damn orders, and I should have had a full night of the mask. So I have a machine to try based on limited info, and we'll see how it is in a month.
