JUST DO IT, AND THEN SOME

There wasn’t going to be a lot of action today…the plan was to sleep in, vegetate, navel contemplation, reading, web surfing. Since we didn’t get to sleep until after 3 a.m., I at least managed the sleeping in part…and reading and web surfing almost always manage to get squeezed in somehow. But before brief_therapy could catch me I had already started a load of laundry and run the dishwasher for the first of 2 times. In addition, the printed version of the AWC newsletter, plus Tuesday’s meeting program and calendar handout are finished, and I had a lesson in creating...

JUST ANOTHER MANIC SUNDAY

Damned Aggravating: Having the power go out at midnight, and holybatcave batman, it’s DARK in here. Fumbling my way through the house to the far end of the laundry room only to find that ALL FOUR of the flashlights are dead as doornails. Even with new batteries (fumbled back to the kitchen, fumbled from the fridge, fumbled into the stupid dead flashlights)…DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD. #¤”%¤#! Double-Damned Aggravating: Leaving the stupid dead flashlights on the kitchen table and fumbling my way to the cabinet where the matches are kept only to realize with my fumbling fingers that there ARE NO...

PITY PARTY FOR 1

We had a power outage yesterday evening while we were gone, and I set the clock right before I went to bed at 11:30…only I set it wrong and when the alarm went off at 7 a.m. this morning and I hit the snooze thinking I could doze another 5 minutes, Anders said to me, “Liz, it’s 8 o’clock, what are you doing?” And I screamed and leaped and swore bad words and raced around like a chicken with my head cut off, and then I went to work. And I worked really damn hard and I didn’t leave until...

YOU KILLED MY BROTHER, PREPARE TO D–SWAT!*

Did you know that flies are not just attracted to warmth, but mostly to SOUND? They tend to follow sound vibrations to the source since it invariably means warmth or living bodies or food. This morning, some 20 of them followed it to their deaths, in the process aggravating me nearly beyond the bounds of endurance. Since the weather was semi-decent yesterday the doors were open quite a bit with kids running back and forth and in and out, and despite the screens a lot of flies got into the house. I thought I had killed them all before we...

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE SNAPS

okay, what the freaking hell is wrong with IE?? Fonts are showing in all kinds of wonky sizes and encoding won’t stick when I set them back. WTF? HATE. HATE! Stupid Microsoft. Is anyone else having this problem? or is it *suspiciously* just ME?? Work is going to be insane right up until the last second what with the waiting on people who wait until the last minute despite having had plenty of notice and reminders and pleading phone calls and the making of last-minute changes to everything I already had done. ARGH I’ve had a to-do list of stuff...
