We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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

Perkins, in my head work is right between old house and new house, is that correct?

fyi, that is not a lot to do in a day. I have to email someone else. I also have to standardize all the citations for an article, write an article summary, and a list of key words.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

fyi, that is not a lot to do in a day.

That's not making me look any better, you know? Although I am admittedly a lazy bitch, so there's that.

It's my first day in two weeks without cold meds. Yay! I celebrated by eating half the chocolates Shir sent me from Israel. So. Frickin'. Good.

I'm also celebrating by getting some thinky stuff done for work, now that I can actually think. And, since it's my work-from-home day, I put the tree into storage, paid my bills, and arranged for voice lessons and some cat vet visits. (The voice lessons are because I'm doing voice overs on some corporate eLearning videos, and I'd like to sound better. The vet stuff is a blood draw and a tooth cleaning visit.) I have energy again! Some of it may be from the espresso-praline cream in the chocolates, but that's ok!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Perkins, in my head work is right between old house and new house, is that correct?

New house is between work and the apartment, actually. I've been stopping off there most days on the way home to pick up mail and drop stuff off and sometimes do things. I wasn't planning on it today, so I don't have much stuff with me, but now I need to.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Can I get a rousing round of "fuck cancer"? The week kicked off with a friend's funeral on Monday (44! Too young!), and then got word this morning that my aunt Debby died last night (69! Still too damned young!!).

I'm just flattened, and also feeling very ungraciously like two funerals in a week is a little more than I have emotional reserves for.

so my suggestion/order would be to put like a hamper full of clothes in the car each day and dump in at the house either on the way to or from work. also armfuls of stuff on hangers straight to car, then straight to new closet. If that is too easy, then fill ups reusable grocery bag with pantry food each each day too.

Burrell, I'm right there with you. I feel wonderfully accomplished when I do as much as msbelle has done, in a day.

Today I have...showered. Read the internet. Done my timesheet (which was two days overdue). Tried to do one expense report, failed because they changed the system, emailed boss about it. Talked to one person on the phone, fobbed her problem off to someone else.

What do I NEED to do? Several letters, four reports, preparation for tomorrow's travels, and a few various other things. Plus writing up the notes for the last meeting of my conference board, scheduling the next meeting, and dealing with our webhosting so we don't have the site go down.

Oh, amych, I'm sorry. Fuck cancer indeed.

amych,

I think two funerals in a MONTH can fuck with emotional reserves. I'm sorry. A lot of 'ma your way.
