What If...

The war in my mind continued with this moment of reflection: What if I, Little Miss Do-No-Wrong, ended up in Hell for being the judgmental, self-righteous be-ahtch with the murderous rage I fight so hard to suppress?

Soul-Cleansing yet Gentle Rains

This morning's walk to the bus stop was dark and drippy, but oh so refreshing. I calmly and quietly marched my usual path toward the chariot that transports me away from the town in which i live to the the town in which i work. On this quiet walk, I simply breathed and focused on positive intentions for the day. Though some might not enjoy getting soaking wet on the way to work, I took the opportunity to make the excuse for flip-flops (because I hate wearing wet socks and didn't want to ruin my sneakers) and some flowy dark clothes that won't make it obvious i'm wet. I even splurged and visited the hot air dryer in the bathroom in my building!

9am meeting, I'm ready for you. Rest of the world, your turn after lunch.

Title Selection

A reminder to those awaiting a published version of the manifesto forming in my head, the title to look for in a couple of years is I am NOT a Mushroom.

Dear Phone...I Miss You and I'm Coming to Get You!

Dear Phone, I miss you and I'm coming to get you. Since you didn't ring and you were "unavailable" tonight, I can only assume that you have no time left on you and that you are desperate to be rescued. I will find you and bring you home...I will not pay ransom and I will not accept excuses or requests for further extensions of the loan. I have learned my lesson and won't ever volunteer to part with you again. I am so glad you're not an expensive version, but some of the data on you is very important to me.

Love,
your kind-hearted sucker-no-more hard-earned owner.

The amount of time required to process the request is directly related to the number of times I get interrupted while trying to complete the task.

Let's Get This Party Started!

I've been up for an hour; it's almost time to leave for work. We're welcoming a new person in our department today and hopefully learning when one more will be joining us. It's new academic year anticipation time and I'm full of excitement...aren't you?

Lights out in 20

I can't believe how tired i feel right now, but I'm going to use that as motivation to actually try to get more sleep. It's been a busy weekend, with volunteering, family, and online shopping. I looked, I didn't buy; I paid another bill "in full" and thanks to my dear parents, enjoyed some delicious local produce. Now my big task is to find clothes for tomorrow, finish packing my travel bag, and pick which room in which to commence sleeping.
