I am stressed to the point of total mind-lossage right at the moment, and would probably kill for a cold DDP and a place to sleep. With armed guards standing around the outside of it so that if anybody tried to wake me up, they would be properly and immediately shown the error of their ways. 'Showing them the error of their ways' would, ideally, ( Read more... )

( Cut for extremely girly TMI. Don't say I didn't warn you, because actually, I did. )

Dr. James fixed my back! (You know it's bad when your bodyworker gets you on the bed and says 'my goodness' before he even really starts to work.) Moreover, while I'm forbidden to do DDR or aerobics of any sort for the next week, I have been instructed to walk as much as possible! YES!!!! I am a mobile blonde!

"You? Are amazing. Sarah? Is so sad. And Harry Marshall ( Read more... )

Today is unseenlibrarian's first day at his new job! Yaaaaaaaay! I am happy for him, and proud of him, and generally just brimming over with delight. Here is my happy poem for Phil's new job:

While I won't say that I was entirely unprepared for the sound of my alarm this morning, I will say that it was not exactly a welcome intrusion on my somewhat tangled and virus-laden dreamscape. Still, because I am a good blonde who enjoys being able to pay her mortgage and feed her (extremely demanding) cats, I hauled myself out of the bed and ( Read more... )

I have been banished from my office, and am now back at home. I don't exactly have the sick time for this, but they have this weird aversion to my bursting randomly into tears during the workday for some crazy reason. Whatever. I don't get it, but Lilly's happy, and I have painkillers, an ice pack, and an apple, because nothing says 'good idea' ( Read more... )
