I'm having a lazy Saturday. I wanted to go to services, because there's a special guest speaker, some high-ranking guy in the Israeli army, and I wanted to hear what he had to say, but that would require getting totally awake and dressed and walking to synagogue, and I just don't feel like it.

I think I'm going to go grocery shopping this afternoon. And then maybe grade papers. Ugh.

I really need to try to get back into observing Shabbos better. I know that I feel much better when I do, but it requires preparation, and I haven't been so good with that lately.

Now, that was a dream. I got up because of a dream I had where suddenly DH and I were not behaving like our selves. I was even hitting him in y dream which 1) I wouldn't do and 2) if I did hit him , it would never be in that girly, wimpy way. I was offended by both of us.

my best to all of you , Sail

it was such a fun dream!

I love dreams where I fly, because it always feels so REAL. I know I shouldn't be able to do it, but it feels so natural.

I have a pretty stereotypical "smart kid" work ethic - if I decide something's worth my time/effort, I'll be the best little worker bee in the world, but give me busywork and I will procrastinate my ass off.

Yeah. It's alarming how much I can procrastinate on my busy work.

I mean, I rock the house with regular stuff, but the things with no real value added to my job are HARD to motivate for doing.

Relatedly, I am also the geek who will spend an hour programming something to do something boring, rather than spending half an hour just doing the thing myself. Just because it's a cooler approach to the problem.

Long term investment! What if you have to do Boring Task again? You've already automated it! Woo! (What? That's MY justification!)

Eh, it's usually a LOT harder to tell FTM trannies from bioguys than it is to tell MTF trannies from biogirls. Most of the guys I know who've been on T more than few months, and who've had chest surgery, you'd never know. A few, I can guess from experience (height is a big indicator), but even then...if they've got no tits and a full beard, how can you know?

This has been my experience, as well.

Gronk.

Peace to your fam, Sail.

I have no clothing. My mother packed a box of my clothes. It was all underwear and socks. The already packed box of clothes got left at the old house.

Sigh. (Well, at least I found a shirt.)

Gronk.

You know, it's a little depressing how quickly I'm getting responses on a bunch of work emails I've been sending out this a.m. Helpful, but depressing.

I'm reading a NY Times article about how people in developing countries are using cell phones. Really neat stuff going on there.

{{{{{Sail and family}}}}} I'm so sorry, hon.

{Sail & family} I'm so sorry for your loss.

It is Saturday. I am working. I am not at the beach. That is all.

Sail, so sorry. I can tell she'll be really missed.

(Speaking of missed...

LAURA! So nice to see you around more these days.

I am also not at the beach, but at least I'm not blizzarded, which I think Daniel and Andi may be.

poor roommate was on the patio last night and saw the suspect killed.
