I could do with a bit of boring to be honest...excitement is too much hard work. :D

I feel like everybody is missing. On the plus side, at least it's Friday. :D

We're not missing, we're just giving much-needed attention to other areas of the board. Okay, mostly Mallory's. Which some would probably argue is not much-needed. But still. It's nice to see this level of activity.

Yes, we currently have both aTOMic and dANdeLION blowing up Mallory's. It's nice to have the games moving again. We need the sarge to represent, though, and I miss das Sheepliness.

I am feeling a salutary sense of sardonic absurdity.

I believe the SGT will return unexpectedly some day soon. In the mean time dAN and I are indeed trying to pull our weight. I feel a little responsible for the drop off from a few years ago. I mean I didn't cause it but I participated in it. I was admittedly depressed from being out of work and once I finally found employment it took years for me to feel something similar to Tom circa 2007. I'm still not there yet but I'm closer than I've ever been. :-)

Sort of feeling like waiting for the other shoe to drop?

I am having a sort of good day. It's gorgeous out.

On the minus, I am disappointed at a certain kind of anxiety in a group I'm part of, and I want say stuff, but maybe should focus on encouraging.

Also, my house is messy, we have family arriving tomorrow, and I'm not feeling super up-to-the-task.
But WAY more up-to-the-task than yesterday.
Hmm.

Well, this is the place that you can say stuff if you want. :D

Feel mostly good, starting to get some much needed rain here, so that's a bit of a relief...not nearly enough yet, but it's a start.

I feel like...posting in this thread. :-)

Coming off of a 3 day weekend I feel like a sensation of joy that I couldn't quite capture surrounded me like a sparkling mist just out of reach. It lasted for days and then dissipated steadily as Sunday progressed until I no longer felt its presence. Now I feel a bit like I failed to embrace a special moment but I don't know what I could have done differently.

Oh well next weekend will be here before I know it and I'll try again.

Yeah, there's never enough time to come to terms with not being at work before you have to be at work again.

Exactly one month from today will be my last day before I go on leave. Can't wait. :D

Not being at work is plenty enough fun for me. I'll do my best to do nothing but laze around and achieve as little as possible. :D

Sometimes doing nothing is the most rewarding thing in the world. :biggrin:
