night shift II: son of night shift

Sean has been awake (with the exception of one 45 minute nap) all night.

Chris spent the first three hours (after I went to bed) watching him. It is now my turn. Needless to say class is not happening today. (Let's take a moment here to appreciate the fact that I have a totally awesome spouse. I can't believe we've been married nearly/only five years this March.)

Cold medicines do not work on this child. He is a mutant. (He has a cold. This is why he's awake. Pardon my parenthetical obviousness: you'd be this way too, if it were you.)

We need a gate for his bedroom door. Which I would have by now, if the damn state of Washington would hurry up and pay its bills ...

This entry brought to you by November: the month of the death of a thousand cuts. When you need practice juggling papers, bills and sanity, think 'November'.

(Seriously: this happens every year. Everything falls apart in November. At least no one's died this year.)

and now for something completely different

San Diego Zoo panda-cam.

There's a BABY. *dies of happiness*

Also: Wow, when Safari crashes it doesn't fool around. It nukes all your settings, too, just in case you needed them or something. Jeez.

unsent letters, corporate edition

Dear T-Mobile:

You know, those little green pieces of paper are pretty popular these days. You know the ones, you must have seen them? The ones that people give you, and then you give them something in trade? The ones with the pictures of dead presidents on?

Or maybe you don't know. Check it out, the whole cash system is pretty cool and innovative.

Just so you know: when I rule the world, all stores will be required to take cash as payment. Just sayin'.

Love,

Me


Dear DMV:

Along the same vein: if the flower seller on the corner (you know, the lady who sells off of a cart?) takes VISA, why don't you?

Get with the program,

Me

Things I have done today: read the end of Prince Caspian and the beginning of Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I remember really liking that one. Except for Eustace.

Also played much world of warcraft. Now at level 29. Have discovered how to travel to other continents, finally. Spent the day picking pockets. It's fun and profitable to be a rogue sometimes, even if no one else likes them.

Child slept until 12:30 (from 9:00AM). We have Dimetapp for this evening - I don't think we've tried that one.

Not bad. Now, if the damn woman I've left two messages for in the past three days about my damn childcare reimbursement would actually return her phone calls, I'd be much happier.
