Good morning all...
Today will be a day in which I will curl up on the couch like so much fish and do some reading. I'm in the final quarter of War and Peace and I'm determined to get a good chunk read today. Also, yesterday was an extremely craptastic day, and it usually takes me an entire day to recover from such a craptastic day. The festivities here, however, raised my spirits considerably. I was in such a bad mood yesterday that I actually snapped at the poor assistant at work, and then I apologized for being SASSY. She gave me a hug and forgave me, so that was nice.
Then I got the scary news from a dear friend in DC that another friend of ours is currently in Jordan... this was yesterday afternoon. So on top of having such a craptastic day, I got that news, and then had to go take a stupid word processing test at a law firm while I still hadn't heard anything about the friend, and I did poorly on the test because I just could not concentrate. I did manage to pass. When I got home, however, there was a message on the machine saying that said friend is fine and dandy, had called her mother to report that she was not among the dead and in fact is staying at an unaffected hotel. Thank God.
