I broke the news to him that he's too tall to be an astronaut.

Aww, also skip the jockey job listings. There are a number of things the big guys just can't do effectively. How did the cats travel? Never had much success with that one myself.

Happy Monday all! Woo! Short week! With 4 weeks worth of stuff to do in it! Oh, never mind the happy part.

How tall is the astronaut cut off??

I am vaguely awake. My sister brought my niece in here an hour ago to give me a hug before she went to daycare. I should probably get up now and deal with east coast time. I think there's a nap in my future--I got here after 2am!

Also annoyed: friend sent me Lyft code so I used it for the first time, to go to the Airport. But it didn't work. So I complained and they were like "oh, sorry, here have 5 $10 credits instead" which does not make my $45 airport ride any cheaper? Grr.

I'm not sure it is so much an overall height limitation but the sitting height or somesuch.

They change a little depending on job.

This is my last day at work, and I really don't wanna. I still have two unpleasant meetings to get through before I leave at 2 p.m.!

I'm more or less on vacation until next Wednesday or Thursday (depends on when my boss sends me articles to edit). I have a few minor things to do this week, but they're no big deal.

My brother and SiL are in town, so I planned my work schedule so I would have time off for shenanigans with them. But I also need to wrap all the presents and clean the dang house. (I had a dream that I was steam-mopping the kitchen. How sad is that?)

This is my last day at work

Mine, too. Luckily everyone else here is in a similar "let's wrap these last things up and go" mode, so I'm not getting pulled into meetings and whatnot. (Except for Star Wars squee meetings with one of my fellow geeks--I'm ok with those.)

I've checked in for my flight tomorrow, sent in a hold-mail order, arranged cat care (my neighbors are great, and Leifur will probably have nearly as much of their company as he would have had of mine), done my laundry, and even cleaned a little. I'm hoping tonight will just entail packing, running the dishwasher, and cuddling the cat. That's about all I'll be up for.

I made my coffee and my todo list for the day. It's a bit intimidating, but I'm trying to just forge my way through it. Starting with the food stuff and the laundry, as I know eventually I'll need to put all my chores aside and help Cody with the Sisyphean task of sorting his mother's books for keep/donate/store in the attic.

I have to pack for Grandma's in Richmond, where it will be mid-seventies, and LA, where it won't be that warm. El Nino is keeping me on my packing toes.

It's going to be 80 degrees on Christmas in New Orleans.

Yeah here too, 82 and thunderstorms! Woo!
