I'm tired.  This is what I get for staying up to nearly two am in order to finish old time Regency romances.  This one even had a kidnapping and a duel!  And when the fair maiden had been rescued, the villain invited everyone who'd spoiled his ravishment to spend the night in his mansion and have a nice glass of claret.  No, I'm not even kidding.  ( Read more... )

So, we've already got about six inches of snow and ice is hitting my window.  My street is an emergency snow route and it's not plowed.  And they want me to come in to work my 6-Midnight shift anyway?  I say no.  No, I say!  Yes, I feel guilty, but no.  The only ways I can get to work is over an overpass that is under construction and already ( Read more... )

I saw the moon on my way to work today.  I saw the moon on the way back.  The moon hung big and glorious in the sky, so much larger than it normally is -- you could see the craters.  It was amazing ( Read more... )

So, it's that holiday time again.  I wonder if everyone has mixed feelings about that.  Had a long talk with my mom the other day about creating happy memories for the people we love... and while I honestly can't look back on many shared holidays and find them particularly happy and I certainly agree with the decision to cut the guest list this ( Read more... )

Sometimes...

It just adds insult to injury, you know?

If I could get some of my focus back, it wouldn't be so bad.  But it's gone the way of a zillion phone calls, some extra special pressure, and certain cyclic events.

In other news, we had three applicants for my job today.  There's something very funny about giving them their applications.

I am wearing a horrid combination of my yellow and blue swirled artsy flats, brown dress slacks, a deep purple shirt, a nearly florescent sea foam green cardigan, and my blue tinted glasses.  This color combination offends me a very basic level, but I'm still wearing it.  Why?  Because it is freezing.  Weather.com says it's 58 degrees outside.

58 ( Read more... )

Some days require tea.  And when you finally give into that requirement, it's such a happy sigh of contentment that hums through your body.

I'm still cold, though.  It's probably got something to do with my wet head, the below seventy degree weather, and the rain.  I really, really wanted to stay in bed this morning.  But someone has to open up the ( Read more... )

OK, so these glasses are totally working.  If things had continued their normal pattern this week, I would be in throbbing, elephant parade in my temples pain already.  But no!  I'm doing good!

Of course, it only adds to my amusement that when I go to the bathroom and see myself in the mirror, I actually look like the nerd that I really am. 

This week has past through my hands like sand.  I'm telling you, I have been so fuzzy this week it's not even funny.

Part of the problem was that I have been busy every night this week except for last night.  When a girl works from 8:30 to 5:30 and doesn't get home until ten pm or after, it's a little bit draining.  When a girl does not immediately ( Read more... )
