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.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's going to be 80 degrees on Christmas in New Orleans.

I intended to get up and go to work at a reasonable time this morning, but jetlag is being a beast. I didn't really wanna go to my 9am and 9:30am meetings, so I have declined them, figuring I would mostly be incoherent.
My new goal is just to make it into to work so I can do two things. No, three things. That is all.
I figure I'm owed a few days considering I lost the last three weekends to international work travel.

I am feeling vindicated! I ran 5 miles this morning AND (AND!!) I have finished my work conference call AND AND AND I sent my package to my mom.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Kat, you're winning all the adulting today!

You are way ahead of me, Kat.
So this happened to my college roommate and her family yesterday: [link]
Thankfully everyone is okay. What an awful thing to happen, ever, but right at the holidays seems especially terrible. I know Trudy's been through this as well.

I am at work. A library patron just asked me how to spell "turd."
It's practically like being at home, except I am pretty sure my son knows how to spell turd.
