self-portrait

I look like I've just crawled out of bed (that was over an hour ago, but I start slow), with my hair a mess and a huge cup of tea at my elbow, wearing a bathrobe and what amounts to pyjamas. I have a pile of papers in front of me - folded, bent, some sorted, some not - and several documents open on my computer.

Today is time-sheet due day. And I had last pay period's time sheet kicked back to me because it wasn't right. And as I was looking up the information for that I began to wonder if the one before that had actually gotten turned in correctly, because what I have on my computer is not right. *le sigh*

So alarielle's cute C&A fic for my first lines meme came as a welcome distraction.:)

eta Today, as on most Fridays, I woke up singing (in my head), "Oh my body has been punished with too much and not enough." I'm sure eor put it there at some point. Which song is it from, luv?

I very seldom put anything in the 'music' field, because I often can't remember the title of the song in my head. I don't usually put anything in the mood field because A) my moods are too complex, and B) the list is too long for me to choose one. I don't do well on personality tests. And yes, that last sentence is intended to be a joke.

eta2 I keep finding myself leaning back in my chair and closing my eyes as if I think I'm going back to sleep. We are not going back to sleep, Body, so just get over it!

Notes: For daegaer - the long-ago promised sequel to the second of "Three Things That Never Happened To Anthony Crowley." She gave me that for my birthday, and I told her I had an inspiration from it. I fully intended to complete it before her birthday (exactly a month after mine.) So I'm one year, one month and one week late. I beg genetics - my whole family is like this.

I hope I haven't made any major boo-boos because I have no time to correct them right now.

mmmm, nutritionless

We bought Norm's steak and cheese and fries for dinner. Yum.:9 Completely lacking in vitamins, of course, but luckily some kind person invented one-a-day chewables for fools like me.:)

On the way over I was thinking about why I feel more safe walking around on wet nights. It's probably completely spurious, but I guess I think most people who might be troublemakers are too lazy to go out when it's unpleasant. Then there's the raingear factor. If people are wearing raingear or carrying umbrellas I don't mind walking near them. Somehow I think they're not going to be troublmakers. People who have sense enought to wear raingear also have sense enough to not make trouble, is my reasoning. Also, you look like a dork in raingear - you can't be feeling like a dork and be truely troublesome, right?

Tomorrow we'll be gone all day, in Cambridge visiting with the sweet matushan! Well, we'll be up at 6am, probably, same as weekdays, and eor will go to work for a while, I'll get the shopping done (I hope) and then we'll be able to leave here around 9am to get there for noon. The plan is the same as usual - Have Chinese food for lunch, spend the afternoon wandering around to the bookstores, have Indian food for dinner, and then go dancing at ManRay. It's the perfect day, really, you can't improve on that.:) We probably won't get back till 3am, Sunday, and I'll want to sleep half the day and then I'll have to get laundry done, and then our weekend will be over. Don't blink or you'll miss it.

ps mizzmarvel called me cool. I'm still all glowy.:)
