Thursday

Sunny and warm -- 86 degrees (30 degrees Celsius). Need to refill the bird feeders -- one is 99% empty and a squirrel knocked the bottom off the other. Devious little bastards.

Feeling much better and it's such a relief.

Not much else at the moment, so have a badger in a post office.

Poor badger. I'm glad nobody got hurt.

It's great to hear you're feeling so much better. I'm ... okay today. Doing some laundry and such, and I must now start that next sketch for the mural in the in-home day care. I'll give myself about an hour for that; shouldn't be too difficult.

I won't really have a day off until Monday and Tuesday, and I'm likely to spend those days catching up on errands and things I've been unable/too tired to squeeze in.

Poor little fellow must have been looking for shelter/food/water to come into a building.

I'm glad you're feeling better!

Now that everyone's out of my hair around here, I'm trying to get things done ahead for when I go on vacation. The Padre has decided to take that same week off, so the Episcopalians will be ON THEIR OWN, without leadership for seven whole days. That's a scary prospect. :D

HI MARE AND NIGHTDOG HELLO! I am glad for Nightdog feeling better and I hope that your days go well today.

I am DONE with classes for the WHOLE ENTIRE SEMESTER! EEEEEAAAAAGH!

So I am eating my chicken with cheesy broccoli rice, and ignoring my grading pile for a moment, because I've got a few things to read/print for the meeting I have at 2:00. Ah, committees. Without them we'd...get more done?

OMG THE UNSUPERVISED EPISCOPALIANS.

EVERYBODY TAKE COVER.

[identity profile] pwcorgigirl.livejournal.com 2010-05-06 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
And I will be out of town, so they CAN'T GET TO ME! BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE MY CELL PHONE NUMBER! HAAAAHAAAA!

[identity profile] pwcorgigirl.livejournal.com 2010-05-06 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
YAH! PERSPI! EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!

[identity profile] perspi.livejournal.com 2010-05-06 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
You know what? I have enough stacks of paper we could probably cover a whole dance floor, and dance ON the grading! YAY!

I'm still taking things a bit slowly, but it's just such a relief to not feel terrible. There are always a lot of things to catch up on around the house.

God, I'm glad I'm feeling better. That was No Fun at all.

... so the Episcopalians will be ON THEIR OWN, without leadership for seven whole days.

Let's just hope they don't inadvertently set the church on fire. *g* But YAY for vacation!

I know exactly what you mean by the lack of a terrible feeling. Right when that sets in and you realize it, the world becomes a brighter place.

Sunny, but windy. I'm going downtown for lunch in a bit, and while biking's going to be a fun challenge, I'd better get dressed to leave the house sometime soon.

This. It's like a weight suddenly lifting off your mind, which is how I described it to Mr. N back in the day when I was taking BuSpar. I do think this was more of a 24-hour bug, though, but when it was mixed in with a hormonal storm, the result was really nasty.

Your day sounds wonderful! :-D

It is, I will selfishly admit, comforting to me to know I'm not the only one whose moods can be knocked into the abyss by what is otherwise a pretty minor ailment.

*\o/* cheers

Nightdog & Mare feel better, Perspi is free, Corgi gets a vacation, the episcopalians are on their own, the badger got 15 minutes of fame and my youngest locust might just get to come home for a visit before deployment. yayyy....

Things are more right with the world today.

Given the alternative, proof you're not pregnant is pretty minor.

[identity profile] blackmare-9.livejournal.com 2010-05-06 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, there's that, but I actually meant "minor ailment" as in an otherwise not-serious virus. Anything that can make me feverish, even slightly, can also cause me to fall into a sudden, deep emotional funk. Or not. It's very unpredictable.

AND that sketch got done.

And I'm toying with my latest salvage piece before I have to go to class, and meanwhile, dinner is in the oven so I will have food upon my return.

I really hope you get to see your boy.

HAHAHA WHAT IS 'FREE'??

*g*

I have many, many things to grade, yet. But I don't have to interrupt it with classes any more, so that's nice. :)

*hugs*

You're home from class and I'm off to teach mine! I Do Not Want, either, but I'm sure this will be as it always is, and once I'm there it will make me feel a lot better.

Unless they change it at the last minute, he comes home this coming weekend. :)
