fox | i don't even know which monosyllable to use right now.

Deadline in ... 38.5 hours. Today I had some work I could do and then some work I had to wait for someone else to do and then a meeting where I confirmed some stuff and realized some other stuff had been really wrong this whole time. And then I went to the dentist, which took every minute of the full hour I had budgeted in travel time, and where instead of drilling up three teeth he thoughtfully only drilled up two. And then on my way home I had to stop at the grocery store because I can never keep track of when I need to buy milk - that is, when I go grocery shopping at the weekend I am never right about whether to buy milk or not - and I also needed cake mix so I can make cupcakes for my team on Friday like I promised. Then the radio said there had been a big accident right at my corner and how I wasn't going to be able to get to my little lane from anywhere at this intersection, so I went a different (longer) way so I could come at it from a different direction, and as soon as I'd committed to that way the radio said the accident had been cleared and all the lanes were open again.

But I finally got home, and while I was waiting for the novocaine to wear off I got the guest room ready for the friends who are crashing with me starting tomorrow, and I took out the trash and the recycling, and there are only three more days of antibiotics left, and now I have egg drop ramen and am watching yesterday's White Collar. And tonight maybe I won't be as monumentally exhausted as I was last night when it's time to go to bed. And tomorrow I will do lots of work and then come home and make the cupcakes and my guests will be here and then Friday we will finish the thing and then I will go have my head examined.
