Don't know why, but this line from the song is stuck in my head. This line alone...
So it steals the title.
I must warn you. I have had way too much coffee since this morning.
About 3 cups in the last 2 hours alone. Read on at your own risk.
Scattered is an understatement to my my current state.
Update on life, the universe and indeed everything.
Cats had their first visit to the vet today.
Did I mention their names? The little sisters (birthday: 18 June 2004) are now officially called Stella and Iris. We intended to get them some booster shots, but they didn't need them. They seemed happy with that fact. The vet says they look healthy and happy which made Mrs NT's day. I am much more cynical. I am sure that as long they have dry food and a leg to dig their claws in, they will be happy. I pretend to be special in their lives, but know that I am merely a food-dispensing scratching post (that on occasion needs chasing).
Finishing writing a grant which needs to be submitted tomorrow. RE-submitted I should say. Rejected in first round (I wasn't around back then you see). My boss is now resubmitting and enlisted my help. Tying to change what he wrote is difficult. If you thing my thoughts are noisy, fuck you should read his. it took me 2 days to disentangle the 20-or-so pages... Happier with it now. Not convinced we'll get the dough but hey, it's all in the name of fun, you know.
Sleeping has been at a premium. Or so I moan. 5 hours should be plenty I suppose.
Going to New Orleans for a conference on Friday. Poster has been made yet. Previous boss angry. Can't blame her. Way too much shit to do before I leave. Will I do it? Haha. Doubtful.
Will it stress the ankles out of me? You betcha my devoted reader. You know who you are.
Going to Chez Panisse tonight. Those in the know will know what this means.
For those out of the know, I will perhaps explain another time.
Or get yourselves acquainted you fucks.
