Weekend of mixed success. I got the two gift-wrap holders full of art paper down to one on Saturday, and stuck that in the cave for now. I got in a walk to the market this morning, between the raindrops. Emily and I went to Trader Joe's, Ralphs (for a few heavy things) and Target; she found some jeans that fit her fairly well (given that she's 5'2", about 125lb, with a lovely figure, that's not always easy), and I found a little three-shelf unit for my "studio" to go where the rolls of art paper had been. Then I put the shelf unit together with only a few mistakes, at which point I found that the folding baskets that were advertised as fitting in the cube units did not in fact fit in these. They will be returned tomorrow. But that's not important. What is important is that I was able to move the things I wanted into the new shelf unit, and put the things I wanted on top, and rearrange other things in my little studio, and now there's a bit more floor space in front of the built-in drawers, which Patches had to check out for sleeping immediately. So that was good. Not so good is that every time I stop running around in circles, or stop to think, or slow down at all, a big black cloud descends upon my head, and I want to cry. Which I can't, and even if I could, it'd upset the rest of the family and I'd have to comfort them, and frankly I just don't have the energy or patience. Also I lose my temper at the slightest little thing, which is not helpful. But there was reorganizing and spring cleaning, and that doesn't suck, anyway. And Kitty has almost finished S1 of BtVS, and is wandering around quoting lines and giggling, which is almost as good as watching it myself for the first time, again. , , , apply as appropriate. I hear you on the moodiness. I started eating lunch at my desk because the guys talk politics and it was aggravating me too much. I probably should quit watching the news for a while. Thank goodness golf is starting soon. Went out for 9 holes today, and it was COLD - 40 and breezy. But sunny. Managed to get 9 holes in before my hands lost all feeling for the club. Doesn't look like it's going to get warmer any time soon either. Also, I picked up some Vitamin D3, which I've read is supposed to help with mood and aches and pains. Which I know is mostly from being cooped up inside all winter. The general ugliness of the news is definitely a factor. Bad mood was somewhat alleviated by the discovery that TNT is repeating episodes of Leverage on Sunday nights, and tonight was "The Rashomon Job".

Chickens acquired; got home too late to get a good picture, oh, well. Left my purse in Seattle, don't know how that's going to be worked out. It's got my cell phone, small camera, and my freaking passport in it. I know where it is, and it's not going anywhere except back to me, but shit what a thing to do. I'm just way too tired to be any degree of attentive. Julia, dammit. Oh dear. I hope something can be worked out quickly. Congratulations on your new poultry, though.

Quiet today, we are.
Tired this morning, I am.
Julia, no, it's not "Talk Like Yoda Day" I'm just scrambled like that.

Julia, my unintentional self-defeating pun mechanism was fully in operation when I named them.

Ha!! Wanna come work with me?? Thanks also to Anne & Sara for your comments. I'm glad I fit in somewhere. I would love to come to Denver and work with you! Or maybe in a few years I'll retire nearby. They have awesome golf courses and housing isn't all that outrageous on a few of the courses I looked at. Whoo hoo!!! Get to packin' woman! I am having a feast or famine kind of experience: After wallowing in pity for the last week because I have no friends or family nearby, I was just able to confirm that a friend can see me this Thursday. Then on Sunday, I'll be picking my mom & dad up at the airport to stay with me for a week, and then today I found out that my sister and her three kids are coming to stay with me for several days right after that! THEN, the day after they leave, I'm going to a conference in San Francisco for 3 days with a couple co-workers. My cup runneth over!

Your chickens are beautiful, Julia. Aren't they, though? I find myself going out just to stare at them. Julia, can't wait until I can free range them and get better pics with no intervening wire.

By the time everyone goes home you will be well and truly family-ed out! Here's to overrunning cups!

Back to work today. Would much rather be in LA, sitting in front of Joan's on Third, reading a book and sipping a cappucino.
