I am alive, I promise--I've not been on LJ nor the Support Stacie forums today, because of other commitments, but I'm alive ( Read more... )

Got home tonight at 8.

Yeah. Again.

This has been the LONGEST friggin' week--first the layoff notices, then the meeting Tuesday, then hanging out with souleswanderer yesterday (which was LOADS of fun), then Dining Out for Life tonight.... I'm just exhausted. I skimmed through my flist and hardly saw anything; I haven't even been on Dreamwidth today to buy my ( Read more... )

I've got this low-level, unreasonable panic running just under the surface for the past couple of days, off and on, and I'm not really sure why. Am I panicking over going to London next week? (Why would I do that??) Or about not getting hired there for next year? (A bit more understandable, but I have a solid, secure, well-paying job that I enjoy; ( Read more... )

Apparently, having my face break out and my insides practice their contortionism once a month isn't enough. No, all the muscles in my back have to go into spasm and give me a three-day headache as well.

...my downstairs neighbour has apparently got a NEW BASS GUITAR. And is learning to play. Yay fucking hooray.

ETA: Is not ( Read more... )

Breakfast today with souleswanderer and her son--was very good!--and then off to watch Beowulf. It was VERY well done--not identical to the poem, but certainly very respecful of it. And after all, what do you expect when Neil Gaiman co-authors the script? I enjoyed it immensely--it was definitely worth it ( Read more... )

I'm not even that sick--just a stuffy head and feeling dragged out. But I'm whining. Gah. I have a lot of work to do and the bloody office asked me to cover someone's class AGAIN (I managed to beg off) and I have to give this test today which means it all has to be corrected and I have to send everything in for the next unit to Print Shop and I don ( Read more... )

Mondays suck. I arrived at work about 6:35 yesterday morning (I'm on the clock at 6:45--no, I'm not joking), covered someone else's class during my plan so I was only half-prepared when the kids came in, got through the day, had fun talking with larielromeniel and Charmee about our trip to England next summer, then spent hours putting grades in the gradebook ( Read more... )
