I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

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

I hadn't really formalized it to myself, but I'm doing the same things Lee, I guess.

OK, have given up on the kitchen for the day. Even though I know, intellectually, it's a many day project, seeing how much is left undone each night is disheartening. But I have picked out clothes for tomorrow and I'm freshly showered so tomorrow morning should be easy. With a little luck, work-work will not be too tiring tomorrow and I can put in a few more hours of kitchen wrangling in the evening.

Your dinner sounds delicious, shrift!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I made it to the office, but I feel like that may be all I can accomplish today. We'll see how I feel after a two-hour staff meeting at 9....

not your mom's socks.

I'd like to write more letters - thanks for the reminder, Kat.

Today I can't decide between my wonder woman t-shirt or my pink Marie Curie t-shirt. I think I'm going with pink.

This week's a mess. DH's last 'let's see what the whole stomach mess thing could bee' test is Wednesday and it's a big one. I'm a nervous wreck. All signs point to everything is ok and this is just A Thing, but augh. I am going to ask for ~ma and light candles but I'm also going to allow myself to be a wreck, quietly, where he can't see.

And work. SIGH.

So, hopefully 2016 can be a good year.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Stomach~ma for your DH, Sox.

I'm in the office wearing a bright pink, ruffled shirt under a long black cardigan and black trousers.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am in the office, and that is about all that can be said for me this morning.

I am at work. have commiserated with other people at work about how hard it was to get up and come in this morning. We are all in agreement.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am at work as well. I was going to treat myself to a taxi, but there were no taxis available??? Possibly because it is cold? So I was very late, and also confused because it is bus schedule change day and not only did the schedule change, they actually moved the stops where I work.

Oh no! Moving the stops seems like it should come with a LOT of notice and signs.

OK, coffee time. Breaking out the JMB
