As for me, my trip to visit my 'Killa was bookended by nights with four hours' sleep, and today I am going to vote on the way to work.

My trip was great! saw some of my friends and some of his friends and we had great weather for 1,000 miles of driving and Pigmomma and Pigpoppa are as sweet as they could possibly be.

See? We told oyu so!!!!

Today is a loooong day: flying east, so I think it ends up being something like 35 hours.

Flying back to the Eastern US from New Zealand was the longest day of our lives. I think we were up for 48 hours, yet we left NZ on the same day we arrived in the US. A total trip.

Yeah, today I leave Sydney at 3:40 pm, fly for thirteen and a half hours and arrive in San Francisco at 11 am on the same day.

I am feeling so keyed up from STRESS lately and I have no idea wtf is wrong with me. It's not school for once (ahsweahtahgawd). I'm just having conniptions every five seconds about life, the world, &c.

SIGH. Normally I would resort to Bourbon at this point but there is something to be said for a clear head and self-reliance.

The yoga isn't working.

Today, I did order a pair of 5mm surf booties. Because I hate the cold feet.

It works for me, too, usually. But...this is an inside voice conversation.

lol.

very.

try and take a step back and de-stress. everything happens the way that it should eventually.

surely you can make a couple of calls and get the other thing going too

Well, my husband is in the next room.
And you know what they say about being married, right?

I think trogdor put it best.

Yeah. Get married.

Goodbye sex.

voted in the Canadian election, first time ever
i feel properly patriotic now.

Hmmm, it appears the thieves are back in our neighborhood. They unscrew your porch light a little bit and then see if anyone screws it back in that night. If not... they break in later on in the night. Grrrrrrr.

Luckily, I am home after dark every night now, so I noticed it immediately which will hopefully deter them from trying to break in. Ordered a wireless webcam tonight too. Will be mounting it in the window in motion capture mode in hopes of catching them if they ever come back again.

HAHAHA! That would be so rad. You come home and watch the footage and it's a bunch of dots running around in a field of black.

VENTING:
Enduring a meltdown of the cop co-worker. She got physical by grabbing an ice bucket while declaring loudly that she always has to get the ice refills. She interrupted me while trying to fill the fifth glass with the remaining ice for water.
I told her fervently and loudly to get her fucking hands off the bucket and leave me alone.
She told me loudly to "hurry up!" while trying to pry the freaking bucket from my hand.

The current manager heard it but didn't see it. Tonight the manager and I had a chat. It went well, as I evidently was the last to vocalize about stuff at work. [Everyone else just vents, except for three, me included.]
I don't know if this co-worker-cop-now bitch will be able to control herself while working with me.
She apologized to the manager, but not to me. I don't expect shit from the copper. I just wonder if she might get more physical as I disappoint her in my continuing `heathen' ways...

Sorry for the mispellings...working on the new spell check on macbook, and failing here. My circaidian rhythm is fucked, with workmen at the house, pounding loudly in the a.m. and an asshole at work acting out.

And trying to track the U.S. politics...

I think I need a vacation from crazies.

Hmm, an IR Light and IR sensitve camera would do a nice job too.

But personally, I would mount a big Tesla Coil on the roof and ground it with the garden. If done right, it would be harmless. Still, I want to see them come back if lightning is striking down at them.

Shit coworkers are the shittest! Maybe take a chill pill.

And congrats on your democratic excercizations, GR!

Today I sowed the seeds of several more kabocha (Japanese pumpkin) on my slash-n-chainsawed hillside, fertile with the shredded remains of my arborous victims. Impish little green ginger sprouts and the first lobes of inedible African elephant-ear taro had to be snuffed out like a nation of whining taxpayers and small businesses, so that the rich bails of wood chip might finance the growth of ambrosial, tender flesh burgeoning within the squash.

Pics to come!
