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

I'm glad things are mostly OK, Jen.

Have a wonderful, happy birthday, Scola!!!

Thanks, all! Relieved and also got four hours of catch-up sleep, so that's another win.

Happy Scola Day!

Happy birthday Tom!

Also yay “not concerning”!

I am v sleepy today. I have a bunch of stuff this evening (including a workout with a trainer) and more stuff starting tomorrow/all weekend (big weekend dance event) and I slept plenty. Why am I still tired??

Happy birthday, Tom Scola! In honor of your day I will wear a Feelies t-shirt while running.

Why am I still tired??

Maybe you need a hormonal implant. I am now convinced it's the panacea for all problems and intend to get one for my sciatica, the floaters in my eyes and my fallen arches.

Instead of glaring resentfully at the dishes - which I just did two days ago! - I loaded the dishwasher and got that running while Matilda was getting ready for school.

The problem with my productive yesterday and sending emails out is that people sent emails back. Now I have to fill out forms and pick menu items.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I came across this and thought it would be of interest.

Our wings are not tired.

Instead of glaring resentfully at the dishes - which I just did two days ago!

It is a source of continuous resentment. Moments after clearing there are more. In theory, I should put everything instantly into the dishwasher, but that doesn't happen.

Lots of PET scan ~ma headed out, Epic.

I ALSO stared resentfully at the dishes last night and this morning. But then I didn’t do them, just thought “my weekend will be so busy I need to do them before that but I don’t wanna!” And put it off some more.

Good Scan -ma, Epic!

I've learned to trick myself into the loading the dishwasher by saying to myself, "Okay, I'll just load the coffee cups" because that's not only easy but somewhat pleasing to see them all lined up in the racks. That's usually enough to get me going.
