Timelies all!
Ugh, I wish Mr. S would sleep later than 6:30 on the weekend....
Don't I get a cookie?

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Football turned out okay, except for the five years it took off my life.

I feel you Dana, I was watching UVA basketball today, and it certainly was not a cakewalk.

I went to sleep at like, 130? And woke up with a headache. And went back to bed after medication. And now it's 4pm and I haven't yet gotten out of bed. Damn.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Today was supposed to be my break after 3 days of pretty much solo parenting a sick child, but TCG woke up sick. So instead we all spent the morning at urgent care. I did everything I could to make ltc happy, movies, McDonald's, a trip to the pharmacy next door during the long wait, crayons and coloring books brought with us to keep her entertained. Nothing worked. She has been awful all day. She's finally asleep, and I am having an anxiety attack.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
By this point in the year, the AMA has usually sent me my contract renewal for the coming year (although they can't do that until after the freelance budget is approved). I haven't heard anything, so it's starting to give me the willies. I could use some contract renewal-ma (and some calm the hell down-ma).

Poor sj, ltc, and tcg. That sounds terrible.
Obviously you needed some sleep, meara
Much am to you, Steph. That would make me so anxious!

I know there has to be a better way to deal with her when she's like this, but I honestly do not know what it is. I'm lying in bed right now because I'm too upset for even comfort tv. I told TCG to wake me when it's time for Walking Dead because I know he wants to watch it.

Do you listen to the Slate podcast "Mom and Dad areFighting"? Maybe you could ask them, they seem to give good advice. Or at least good enough advice that I listen to a parenting podcast even though I am not a parent. Rebecca Lavoie, who was on it, gave me some good advice about my new family on another of her podcasts, and I just, in general love advice for almost strangers whose job is to give advice,rather than friends and family who just give unsolicited advice.
I think lying in bed is a decent reaction

Contract~ma, Steph!
