The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Got it.

Rather than getting Good Friday off as a holiday, we get a floating holiday that we can use at any point throughout the year, traditionally employed on one's birthday if workflows cooperate.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

some years we get two floating holidays, but I don't think this is one of them.

I was thinking of extending my leave 2-4 weeks, and now I'm feeling guilty about not being at work or not going back "on time". I chatted with the department gossip-monger and she hinted that I might not get my same journals back, and now I'm freaking out a little that I'm messing myself up work-wise. Rationally, probably not, but who's rational? If I were entirely rational, I wouldn't be taking leave.

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

Timelies all!

Back from my MIL's house, where we had the first seder. Second one's there as well.

No guilt, Zen! You do what you need to do.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Second one's there as well.

Someone should have taken a picture of my face this week when I learned that overseas there is more than one Seder.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I saw a license plate that read UROUT, and I hope that the guy driving it is an umpire.

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

Agreed, Theo. Seems like anything else would be disappointing, but perhaps there are possibilities I have not considered.

Yesterday there was also a MRDOG!

Today's best bumper sticker was on a Prius, and it read: "Cool Prius!" -- nobody.

So far today I managed to go eat bagels, fail completely at the crossword puzzle (the bagel place has a new one each week--this one was too hard for me!), try to be productive and send the records request in to get a second opinion, but then realized I lost the fax info for the guy and searched my house trying to find it and failed. Then I went to a "shredding event" by a local Realestate guy and dumped two big boxes of old bills and stuff. Hopefully nothing I need. I've still got plenty of more recent bills sitting around. But I don't want to go to electronic bills because I'm afraid I'll forget, if I don't pay them when I first see the email?

Now to decide what to do with my afternoon--tonight, a housewarming and a dance party (regular pop music I CAN still dance to, even if I still can't do my usual beloved dancing)
