Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

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

Congratulations Smonster! So happy for you.

Boo on broken toes.

I’d rather watch animal videos all day instead of work. I overslept this morning and I still haven’t caught up brainwise.

I echo Steph in excitement for you, smonster. Glad the resignaning went well.

Root canal that was supposed to happen yesterday morning is happening this afternoon instead (endo wanted to confer w/ dentist first), so that's fun. Eh, it has to be done. Next come braces, then, finally, implants. After that I'm getting some cosmetic shit done as my reward for all this structural work. I had better be able to hold on to these toofs for a good couple of decades after all this, just saying.

Thank you for the toe empathy. It feels better this morning though it looks worse. I'll take it.

Yay for Shir visit!

Oh, also, I have a (being treated) UTI! What the heck? I guess sometimes it really does come in threes.

Ditto, except my sleep was all choppy. I am tired and stupid.

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

Glad that went well, smonster! Enjoy your day of napping and whatever!

Ouch, JenP!

I'm having a harder than usual time remembering what day it is today (although I feel like I say it a lot so maybe I should just reset what I think is usual) but it is at least slightly not my fault. A restaurant that I follow on Facebook is already telling me what their special will be tomorrow (I think because they are closed today?) and it's beef stroganoff which sounds delicious so I have it in my head that I can go there for dinner after work and I cannot until tomorrow. Meanwhile I have to do all my Tuesday work things.

Mmm. Now I want beef stroganoff.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I am in Seattle (working from the mothership) and may I just say jetlag can bite me. Do not like.

I'm afraid that, this weekend, the winner in the battle between Steph and the Time Zone Change is going to to be the time zone change. I'm planning to get extra-caffeinated to combat jet lag, but there still may be a struggle.

Because books.

Wait, what? When am I supposed to switch the clock? Again! I'm reading conflicting things via Google.

Jetlag is terrible. But hey, if you're awake at 6pm and don't have plans, you should totally come to the University Bookstore and see me interview Cherie Priest!
