I should probably take a nap before going to the community party tonight.
Odds I will actually take a nap…3%
Never give yourself extra time to get ready for something. You will be late because you will keep fiddling around and doing other stuff all the while telling yourself “I have extra time though so I can do this one extra thing.”
Going out to get stuff for the Community New Year’s Eve party.
Any requests?
Crap.
Just found iTunesU.
I was ignoring it because I knew it would be trouble.
Corvidae30 just walked me through getting songs on my iPod…I had 430 some odd songs selected and ended up with 12 on the pod.
I sort of have a love/hate relationship with the damn thing.
I am not inept and my job does have technical aspects. 90% of the stuff that you have to do to get songs on your iPod seem like extra steps. I keep wanting to skip those steps.

That wasn’t a rant, it was a reasoned arguement. :-)
;) Hmmm, going to have to look up the meanings of the words “rant” and “argument” again.
Random Friday things so far...
From 24 this morning:
24: I am feeling a little nauseous, so I decided to fill my belly with delicious Rouladen leftovers and coffee. Good idea, right?
Me: Uh oh…and no not a good idea.
Uh oh, the Holiday Flu of 2011 might be getting another.
About sleep…
Me: I am not sure how I am going to eat pho and do these other things at the same time. I have to double up because I was a...

Laying here sort of enjoying the quiet and waiting for the plague victims to wake up.

Another one down.
Corvidae30 now has the bug.
11 may be on the upswing (he was always our bounce-back boy)
16 is feeling invincible.
Bug might get all of us because 24 came over for dinner.
Looks like the bug that got me has a two or three day incubation period.
Up with 11, poor guy.
Feeling much better, just have a stiff and sore feeling in my stomach and ribs from the violent workout I have given them the past few days.
Cautiously gauging the nausea level. Not bad. I am hoping it stays thus way because I have a plate of Christmas dinner wrapped up in the fridge waiting for me and I am longing to eat it!
Groggy and full of brain fog.
Just fell asleep for about 4 hours, trying not to think about the wasted hours.
I am weird about that.
Going to try dry toast for breakfast and I am looking forward it.
You are so jealous aren’t you?
It isn’t/wasn’t the meds, I’m sick.
Ugh!
Corvidae30 and 16 have been amazing while I lounge and direct between states of being awake, out like a light because of gravol or hanging over the toilet.
Thank you guys.
Christmas is all about freaking out right?
I have to have one panic post, but that is it. It is early and the boys won’t know because they aren’t up yet. Yeah I know what the hell is up with that?
Didn’t get to sleep until after 2 am because I was worried about 11 getting up. He seemed to have planned to catch Santa this year. Then I woke up before 6 am because I am worried, here is the list:
Damn turkey I have...

O’Brien or the Barbarian?
The Barbarian.
Corvidae30 is watching Conan for parenting tips.
I might be worried.
Stuffing sweatshop started.
House acceptable clean.
Turkey thawing well.
Things all together.
Sitting down taking a breather before I go make something for tomorrow night.
…
AW FUCK!
I just remembered some presents I have to wrap!
I am emotionally drained and in a bit of a fog.
Corvidae30 and I have experienced a few Christmas surprises today that have had me weeping all afternoon.
I am trying to send a thank you out to the universe.
I didn’t make it downstairs last night before I went to bed. Just logged off work and joined the males in the bedroom to watch the ritual Stargate before bed.
I just went downstairs to get breakfast and they cleaned last night!! There must be Christmas elves.
It looks fantastic, thank you to my wonderful Christmas elves…especially the big handsome leader of the group.
2 hours after I would normally be up and at work.
I am in bed listening to all the menfolk downstairs.
It would be better if I was still asleep but I call this a win anyway!
Logged off of work hopefully until the new year!
Yay!
Baby steps.
I am home from work.
I got to turn off my alarm.
Technically I am on vacation.
I am logged on to work.
It is interesting, I blocked myself off in my calendar etc as on vacation today specifically so I could wrap up stuff before I go. I haven’t even started anything I planned to get done yet.
Please please stop falling apart!
My plea to things at work so I can log off tonight and actually take my holidays.
I think there might be some conspiring going on.
Corvidae30 and the kids are being sneaky.

So the specialist is going to try something new which is a positive, it means he listened when I spoke. I am hopeful but sort of skeptical at the same time.
We will see.

We are at the specialist and Corvidae30 is giving me pep talks.
He might be right.
We will see how it goes.
Gearing up for the stuffing production. Funny how in different households there are different “stressors” for Christmas dinner.
Of course everyone has the turkey nightmares…somehow turning a 22lb juicy turkey into a 3 lb pile of dust that sucks the moisture out of everything around it.
My major stressor is stuffing. It isn’t terribly hard to make, but Corvidae30...
My new flavoured coffee seems to have coconut in it.
I don’t like coconut.
I can smell it in the coffee, but I can’t really taste it.
The label doesn’t imply it would have coconut in it.
I am not sure how I feel about it.
I also had a chocolate after my granular wheat paste this morning, but the kids didn’t see so that makes it OK.

reb-ellious replied to your photo: Thanks for getting my glasses son.
Is that a hole or just a smug? It looks like a hole.
Smudge, thank goodness!
So I went to check to see how long I should thaw the turkey in the fridge. It was a good thing I did, today is when we should put the turkey in the fridge to start thawing…because apparently we are making a turkey large enough to feed an army.
Giving into the urge for snickerdoodle ice cream was definitely not worth it.

I would gladly chew him out for you. Provided you don’t mind the possibility that he may not want to keep you employed after that. But I would do a *really* good job of chewing him a new one…..
Thank you. Unfortunately I have to find the balance and try to get them to realize boundaries because I need the...

Really? Are you saving lives? That *is* bullshit
No my job isn’t that important, they keep minimizing the skill set in the first place so I am not entirely sure where they got the idea I should be on call 24/7. Especially considering I don’t get paid for overtime or on call.
