Stuff

You have all irreparably affected me. I just wrote the following in an IM to my BOSS:

"you've got some time to think about Big!Fun! project." *shame*

Also, I delivered a last minute project on time, and it was done well and with panache and style. And I didn't get all stressed about it. Go. team. me!

Dad's surgery has been confirmed for tomorrow morning, first thing. He has to be at the hospital at 6AM. It's nice to be moving ahead (I think - it's also scary) and this delay has been good, as we are all a little more ready. The first date scheduled was So. Fast. With the delays, we've all had some time to get used to the idea and to get stuff in order. And Dad has had some time to rest and build his health. But now it's time, as he is uncomfortable A LOT of the time. It's major surgery, but hopefully all will go well (he's got a GREAT medical team!) and he wil get some real relief and health back when he recovers. I just need to keep reminding myself that he's a fighter!

and JJ was all sweet and gave me lovely snuggles before work this morning. I left early, because I needed to get Rush!Project! done, and it was dawn. The morning star (Venus, isn't it actually?) hung in the East in a beautiful indigo sky, and the waning moon hung in the west, and JJ gave me snuffles and blows.

And driving in 6 (!) deer went across the road in front of me and ran up the hill. It was beautiful. I am so blessed to live here.

Hugs and good thoughts for your dad.

Horse hugs are The Best.

perhaps he'll believe your sarcasm is enthusiasm and give you marks for being a team player/cheerleader? :)

It's my new word. Isn't it pretty? :-D

[identity profile] raithen.livejournal.com 2006-02-17 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
yes, it is. Thanks. :).

[identity profile] raithen.livejournal.com 2006-02-17 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
how are you doing, btw?

[identity profile] datawhorevoyeur.livejournal.com 2006-02-17 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'm kind of exhausted, and having a flareup still, but otherwise okay.

I think I need a personal editorial assistant, however. I think I have had the brainfog part of fibromyalgia for awhile, and just haven't realized it. Put citation in text in parentheses, but not in the bibliography. Then the editor took out the parenthetical cites, but did not change the text at all. I say, that is not on, as you cite people for a reason, yes? Gah. So I added the full citations to the bibliography (which, I kid you not, I totally have a clear memory of typing out! No. Really!), and asked to have the parentheticals added back in. Otherwise, I am totally not comfortable! No, no!

gah. stoopid editor. {{Hugs}}

Well, also stupid me for not having the references in the original draft. I have brainfog about my brainfog. Or something. Gah, some more... :-/
