The good and the rant
1. Red Sox. World Series. Two great tastes that taste great together. I went to bed at 11 last night so I wasn't awake to watch the ass-kicking, and for that I half-heartedly apologize. I am devoted, truly I am, but I am also wasted tired and sick. I vow to try my hardest to get healthy between now and Wednesday so that I may be a better fan for the Series.
2. I finished my wrap! I bound off last night, the ends are woven in, and I'm eagerly looking forward to taking pictures and posting them, though I haven't blocked it yet.
3.
My mother was here all weekend (she arrived Friday and left by train this noontime), and I was sick all weekend - a head cold, which has just gotten worse since I haven't had the chance to rest. Ethan is now sneezing and coughing - I'm guessing he's caught what I have - and his behavior has been almost unbearably rotten all weekend. I don't know why, but I'm guessing it's a combination of fatigue, sickness, and over-excitement because Grandma was here. Gabe now has a fever. Masa, for the next two weeks, will be doing daily ONI stuff, which means he'll be leaving the house every morning at 4am and returning exhausted, stressed and cranky. Oh, except for Wednesday/Thursday, when he'll be on a business trip to the Lab. Which means I have to reschedule my appointment for a haircut yet again - I've already rescheduled a couple of times because of the Unpredictable Work Schedule (UWS), and my hair is now several weeks past the "Doesn't she have friends to stop her from going out in public like that?" stage. Same thing for the kids' pediatrician appointments, which I had to cancel several times and eventually said, "Screw it, I'll just take them both by myself," which was a delight and a half. I've been trying to find library-related part-time jobs/volunteer work, but again, given the UWS, I can't commit to anything that's going to require any kind of reliability. Roar. I'd roar with more force, but I'm too damn drained.
