It wasn't even funny
I just laughed so hard I made myself cry at something that was not even funny. I was cleaning out my Inbox (gulp, over 1400 chaotic, unsorted messages -- should I be embarrassed?) and came across an email that made me laugh, and then I started laughing so hard I couldn't talk so I couldn't even explain why I was laughing, and then my stomach muscles started to hurt. All I can think is that my body was overdue for a laugh attack and was going to seize on the first even slightly funny thing that gave it an excuse. :P
Work is still sucking up a storm. :( I don't think the pace is going to let up until I go on my vacation at the end of the month, which makes me double extra excited for the vacation -- it provides an END POINT to this stressful crap, AND it will be awesome. And also -- colder than here. Possibly still hot (Vermont and Maine), but surely cooler than DC. I think DC is giving me Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder: instead of being depressed in the winter from lack of sunlight, I'm getting depressed in summer from too much humidity.
To my surprise, I'm starting to like the cat that's been stalking us. He actually made it inside our house last week. I wasn't here, but he barged in while my boyfriend was trying to balance all the mail and a package from his mom (what did she send, you ask? 80 ounces of peanut butter and 63 ounces of teriyaki sauce. YES from Washington State, she shipped groceries, but actually I only find the teriyaki sauce random; we request the PB because they don't sell that brand out here). Anyway, the cat got inside, didn't know what to do with himself (herself?) and then let itself be shooed outside again. I give it bonus points for not peeing in the house. But back to my point about starting to like it: yesterday it was hanging around on our stairs and meowed when we left the house, and I noticed its nose was scratched up. It looked like it had been in a fight, poor thing! And then it was all lethargic -- I don't know if it was because of the fight or because of the heinous humidity. So now I'm worried about the cat. See how he's manipulated his way into my affections? I'M A DOG PERSON!!
My life kind of sucks right now because I'm working so much and am so stressed out, so these stories about barely-funny emails and Stalker!Cat are all I have. :P
