Coding and Sleeping

Gud, I was just thinking about you! How's everything?

Things are okay, maybe not brilliant, but okay. And busy, very busy all the time. I did go to a Meetup thing that popped up in my e-mail. It is a writing group and I worked on a novel for an hour or so and then the people there read excerpts and gave feedback. That seemed like a good thing to do since interacting with people is not one of my strengths. Still struggling with depression though. I'm also trying to work up the nerve to approach some local independent book stores about my novel. I don't expect that to be very productive though. My whole experience with novels is close, but not quite. Feels like the story of my life, I feel like I'm always falling a little short.

no one ever asks for your grades...unless it's medical or law school...so it really is just what you make of it!

YES! I just need a B or better to stay in the program. I have a 4.0 so far and for all my whining I should get an A in this class unless I really screw up on this paper. (I'm about to check it against the rubric before I turn it in). Once it is turned in, I'm 1/3 of my way to graduation!

And....done. Now to shake it off and try to chill out before crashing for the night.

Restful sleep and anticipation of more than adequate grades to you.

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

Five hours of sleep last night. I can't remember the last time I got two nights in a row of restful sleep.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Almost time for the weekly 9:30 meeting that my coworker and I are supposed to alternate attending. Odds that she won't be online in time, and I will get roped into this stupid thing?

Ugh, I had to get up before 6 to go in for a liver scan, and found out when I got there that the half glass of water I drank this morning to not sound like the ghost from The Grudge was a big no-no. Isn't my liver made of water, like the rest of me?

my former employer has a fairly high-profile corporate partnership thing right now... that is going to get them $75K. I am SURE that is more work for the money than almost any other method, and now they are publicly in bed with the Koch brothers. I do not approve!!

Well, I'm sure the donations from charity-minded benefactors will just be POURING in once that connection is publicized!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, what a PITA.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Coworker waltzed into 9:30 meeting at 10. And now we're having the planning meeting for the next big project, and there's so much that's going to make it a clusterfuck.
