So yeah, I fucking suck at Lent this year. The coffee, now that I should have realized. The problem with giving up coffee is that I'm not coherent enough before my coffee to remember that I was giving it up. So I'm not trying that one anymore. Social media has proven somewhat difficult, plus I have some promotional stuff I need to do. So I've resigned myself to cutting waaay back on time spent over there. (Y'all don't count. You're not social media; you're just my peeps.)

I'm doing a pretty good job of No Browser-Based Internet Use After 8pm.

It's rough, though. I occasionally cheat if I'm writing and need a fact check.

I did not realize how many people have recorded versions of Viva Las Vegas . They all seem to be on rotation on the muzak .

That's kind of a good not-nixing-it rule of thumb. I need to do that shit anyway, because I have got to get my sleep hygiene in order. I might try that.

(Seeing myself quoted also makes me laugh that my religious observance posts are so laced with profanity. 'Cause that's how I roll, I guess.)

I haven't managed the sleep hygiene yet, but I am reading more books!

True! And I like books, so that's good!

Perhaps my favorite Elvis movie. Not least because Ann-Margret gave as good as she got. Exhibit A: The end of "The Lady Loves Me."

Husband has a second phone interview with the Nashville people on Monday.

Woot! Fingers crossed, Dana!

Actual people already living in Nashville: I will come visit you this summer!

Hooray! Any idea when? We will probably be in Massachusetts for around 2-3 weeks in July.

I am on the struggle bus today. I still have two classes to teach after lunch, which is unfortunate since I'm kind of done working for the day already.

Same here, Pix. We had a rough night last night (older child pitched a royal fit at bedtime, screaming and crying until almost an hour past when she's usually asleep; husband had a bad day at work, got stuck in bad traffic on the way home, is coming down with a cold; baby was up from 10:30-midnight), so we all could have used a little more sleep this morning, but instead the eldest woke up at 5:45 and refused to go back to bed despite being super tired and whiny, then later pitched another royal fit over getting dressed for school; I lost my cool, yelled at her, and now feel terrible about how I handled things both last night and today. So, I haven't exactly been very focused on work today, between sleepiness and self-flagellation. Oy.

K-Bug and I have slept the majority of the day away. Thankfully work wasn't an issue, just handled a few things and then I'm turning in my timesheet. So nice to be feeling better.

Hooray! Any idea when?

I'm working a camp in Indiana for most of the summer, so I'm thinking about bookending that with Nashville. If so, it'd be the last week of May and/or the first week of August. Partially pending B.org adjacent J's tenant schedule.

Excellent! We'll be here for sure in May, and likely in August as well.
