I don't generally cry over celebrity deaths, but I came home and sobbed my face off about Carrie Fisher. She was an amazingly funny, talented, sharp woman who worked as an advocate for people with mental illness, who was a highly regarded script doctor, and very funny novelist and memoirist, but most of all, she was a princess and a general and a ( Read more... )

Oy, work. Everything worked out fine, but I thought a stupid mistake I made yesterday was going to be hugely costly. Thankfully, it was not. I was in bed by 10 last night, which was good, since I still felt well-rested despite my anxiety in the middle of the night.
