Kevin's Watch

It is a great idea, lorin. It could inspire someone else to try it. Just not me (I'm a champion procrastinator).

I've learned long ago not to drink and type, or in this case, perc and type. I always regret afterward having hit the send/submit button.

I feel alarmed and concerned. I'm not the only one.

Anything particular, Cov?

I've only shelved two carts and the lib today, and people are already in a crappy mood. Is politeness really that hard to manage? urk.

I've learned my lesson.

Hidden anxiety is so hard .........do you know what is alarming you?

Yes I do, but I can't say. I just needed to release some tension. I probably shouldn't have said anything at all.

I feel very strange, and very cold, and very tired. And for the first time ever, I fell asleep whilst reading an interesting fantasy novel (Patricia McKillip, at that). I never fall asleep while reading, unless it's homework--reading wakes me up usually. I hope this is just a side effect of the Benedryl, and not the beginnings of being ill.

stress maybe? or change of seasons? sounds like the perfect time for ginger tea and a roaring fire (preferably in a fire place )

I certainly hope it's something like that, and not a cold or some other illness. I'm drinking tea (a combination of black tea and mint) and trying to get some work done, and I will hopefully turn in early. I am looking forward to a quiet weekend.

Feeling excited today, only one and a half days to go at work, then off on our holidays to Cape Town on Sunday.

It sounds to me like you won't say.

I find having a good wank usually does the trick.

45 degrees, clear light blue skies tons of hot air balloons in the air (the International Balloon Festival starts tomorrow) and the whole state wrapped up in the intoxicating aroma of roasted green chile-this is what we live for out here....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....*floats away*

I just found out I have a meeting about my dissertation progress on Monday. I haven't done enough. Panic.

Well, at least you know what you're doing this weekend, CovJr. But seriously -- good luck!

My weekend: Tomorrow morning, Czech class, for which I have barely started the homework. Tomorrow afternoon, the ex-husband's wedding. My class overlaps the ceremony (too bad, huh?) but I said I'd go to the reception.

I've promised myself lunch today at the Cuban place in compensation. And on Sunday, I plan to sleep....

My advice still stands.

Pity it's 1,000 miles away. Weather there has been a bit lousy lately though...hang on...

You're lucky. Forecast for sunday is clear min 16°C max 24°C. Rest of the week forecast to be no higher than 20°C though, and usually a bit less. Take a jersey.

(Say...doesn't the missus's family live in the winelands or something? Lucky bastard. )

20C? Jesus, thats shorts and t-shirt weather.

And yes, wineland counrty (well, Somerset West) so not too far for the wine farms.

Got a wedding at Erinvale too, and a 70th birthday party the day after.

Oh well, the liver is an evil organ and must be punished.

Also going to Durban for a long weekend(without the kids ) Party time with the Bro-in-law and his fiancee.

Thank God the wife's doing all the packing.

Sounds like you're gonna have fun, Phantasm! I would've thought next summer would have been a more appropriate time to visit relatives in SA though?

I'm strangely content. Had a really fun night last night and I got to use one of my favourite jokes in context. We had a Spanish friend visiting, with her new (less than a week) husband, who's Mexican.

Why did the Mexican throw his wife off the cliff?

Today I feel ugh. Sinus headache, tired, less than 2GB of free space left on my C drive, spiritual confusion, a ton of boring stuff to get done, etc. Even Facebook is telling me to just go to bed.

Other than that, I feel great.

I'm currently avoiding a mountain of dishes on the sink. I think I might be able to avoid them until tomorrow night at least.

Other than that, I just became a godmother again. This time it's a boy. . . 9lbs and 21 inches long. And no one suspected he would be so big. Anyhow, he's adorable, and I think he looks like my best friend, so bonus on that.

We just got DSL installed yesterday, and currently the computer resides in the bedroom. My husband is trying to take a nap, and is getting grouchy about the typing. Gotta go. . . see all of you later!
