blah blah blah.
Something tells me I shouldn't update when I'm feeling this cranky. Whoo boy! I'm in a fun mood. I missed my nap today, and then Scout woke me up when she jumped on my bed and WOULD NOT settle down, and now heartburn won't let me go back to sleep. And I feel so not cheerful about all this, and want to whine. Don't you LOVE me? Don't you want to come hang out with me right now? Oh, I know you do. But you can't, so like the accommodating person I am, I will bring the whining to you.
Well, I guess that was kind of all of it, actually. I feel... sort of better. Thank you for listening.
In other news, as I was drifting off (briefly, as it turned out) to sleep tonight, I remembered that I had completely forgotten about a transcribing job I was supposed to do within a week of last... Monday? Tuesday? I have never done this before. At least I remembered now, when I can still stay up till the wee small hours and get it in on time. For a second there, though, it was like all those nightmares I had for all those years where I would suddenly realize that I was enrolled in a college class I didn't know about (or, worse, had been thrust back into high school, adult age and all) and oh my gosh there was an assignment due YESTERDAY and I DIDN'T DO IT. (Funny how that was never shocking any of the five thousand times it actually happened between sixth and twelfth grades.) So I guess I'll work on that now (the transcribing job, not the assignment that was due yesterday in my circa-1998 nightmare). I won't be sleeping anyway, and I feel another bout of whining coming on (CAN ALL THE POLITICIANS PLEASE SHUT UP NOW being the general theme) so I will spare the Internet that discomfort and go try to be productive.
Could that paragraph have contained any more parenthetical statements? I'm not sure it's physically possible.
Comments
Of course it could. (I could have written it.)

You should have seen the email I sent to this guy applying for a job. He wanted me to answer specific questions without canned or incomplete statements. It ended up being really long and parenthetical and well, I never heard from him ;-)
See that address where I had to put my URL? That's my new blog. I haven't posted yet - still setting it up, just wanted to let you know!
I hope you feel better.
