Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

Did she lose a bet? A bet with Satan?

Sweet fancy Moses.

I am still cold, wet, and angry, but at least I'm almost at the office. I have dry shoes at my desk, and I shouldn't need to reschedule any meetings.

Why would someone wear this?

What the???

The one time I was on worker's comp disability and was being paid to not work, tax free...I could definitely see why some people game that system.

I fly home tomorrow evening, so having one of the kids drive out to the airport seems excessive. Will see what happens tomorrow.

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

I almost kind of like the idea? As an abstract experiment in what clothing can be. Like, some genius could maybe tweak it into actually being fabulous, even.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man, Suzi -- that was a hell of a morning. I hope the rest of the day is better.

FWIW, I am also interested in not working and seeing friends.

However, my workday so far has been a big meeting that went well, and a side meeting after the big meeting. Next I have two more meetings, so I think I'm just going to waste the next 35 minutes.

That makes sense. I think it belongs on the runway but not on the red carpet.

It looks like it is more tea for me rather than a nap. ltc only slept for about 20 minutes and then woke up needing a diaper change. I couldn't get her to go back to sleep. I'm trying not to get her up from the crib until she has at least slept a little bit, which she did. So, she's in the swing now.

Someone in comments on the Capital Weather Gang just suggested Friday's storm snowstorm with coastal flooding be nicknamed "Snow v. Wade." HeeHee.

There is a faculty meeting here on Friday that could get ugly, so if the U. closes, I won't cry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Husband had a phone interview at 1. It's either going well, or it went badly and he won't call to tell me, or he called someone else to talk it over.

Ahhh! My 3pm meeting isn't happening! That is amazing. Maybe I will take a nap.

One meeting down, one rescheduled, and about an hour until the next one. Lunch was delicious. I'm starting to feel hopeful about the rest of the day.

Interview~ma to Mr. Dana. And call her darn it!

Nap, Jesse, nap!

Called husband, no answer. So he's still on the phone with them, or with someone else.

And another round of layoffs at my company. Nothing that directly affects me, but yikes.
