Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Five whole days of work ahead, what?

Our wings are not tired

Finished teaching my first class of the quarter about 45 minutes ago. Camped out at a nearby Panera right now because I don't have it in my to get directly into rush out traffic for the 63 mile drive home that goes right across the middle of Los Angeles.

My spoon supply is low.

I'm also pretty much out of forks.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I've been known to do the same thing, ND, except at a Jersey Mike's sub shop - and that's only SD traffic, which is a pale imitation of LA traffic. May your/soup/sandwich/salad/whatev be tasty and may the traffic gods smile upon you when you do get out in it.

I tried the charged blood orange drink (whatever it’s called) and I didn’t notice the caffeination too much in my generally over caffeinated state, but I sure did not like the taste.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Sometimes I love non-participation web x meetings. Just got new nails glued on.

Also, these meetings are so much better now that I can close a door.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hmph. I was going to run this morning but it's still raining. Messin' up my routine.

Today we take the tree down. Emmett will come over and help rearrange furniture too.

Matilda and I have a dinner date! That is we will go out to eat. This is at her request.

And on Thursday, my high school friend Jeanette, arrives with her husband and adult daughter in tow and I will stash them in the Garden Apartment. Because on Friday my friend Jes will come over and do everybody's make up for the Bowie show that night. Woot.

Oh, that's so fun, David! Dinner out, also fun.

I took a sick day today. Little sleep two nights in a row + side painful. Seeing doc tomorrow. Trying to sleep as much as possible.

Super duper gray and rainy here, so it's conducive to my plans.

Wrapping you all up in warm, comforting thoughts and vibes. I am reading along and sending individualized -ma, even though I'm not making written note of it.
