Woke up very early from bad dreams. The last one, right before I woke up, involved all kinds of simultaneous work and home disasters. I seemed to work in some sort of office environment, but it seemed to somehow exist in the same space as my home, even though there were various other employees, supervisors, bosses, secretaries, and such. The ( Read more... )

Okay. In the interest of stress-reduction, I have just deleted a bunch of stuff from my email In Box, including about a gazillion LJ comments I wanted to respond to, extending back as far as July 14.

So if you responded to any of my LJ entries over the past three months and I didn't reply, well, I've been intending to reply but have finally ( Read more... )

Dictating another journal entry. It's kind of fun ( Read more... )

I am testing out the Mac's dictation program right now. We'll see how this goes.

Google happens. Sometimes I wish it didn't.

I haven't been doing so well. Stress, anxiety, depression, exhaustion, blah blah blah. There are lots of things that are either going wrong or worrying me or otherwise demanding my negative attention, some large and some ridiculously small:

Munchkin's health is kind of up and down right now. Sometimes she sort of walks slowly around, sometimes she sits on Shannon's hard drive, sometimes she sits in a windowsill, and sometimes she lies for long periods of time on the bathroom rug. Often when she lies on the bathroom rug, she sleeps so soundly and looks so limp that she frightens both ( Read more... )

Stressful days lately. Work on the bathroom continues apace, but has been rife with problems. Nothing insurmountable, but plenty to make me hold my head and want to cry upon occasion. And perhaps wont to cry upon occasion, as well ( Read more... )
