I don't dislike my job, I just dislike going to work. Especially in the summer. I just want to play!

I love having cats snuggled up to me, but they sure are heat-generating. Hot-blooded little bastards!

I can't believe I'm going to go pay big bucks for someone to poke needles into my skin.

I am keeping all of my fingers and toes crossed for sassywoman's FET this afternoon. Implant, dang it!

It's a sad state of affairs when I consider coming home at 3:30pm on a Friday "leaving late." I am going to be a hurting puppy someday when I, like, have to work all day.

Jen and I are thinking about going to Mary Chung's tonight around 7:30 or so. Wanna come? Call Jen. (See above re: needles.)

It is supposed to be HOTTTT this weekend. AWESOME.

Is that enough worthless stuff? I think so.

And a joke:
Did you hear about the corduroy pillows? They're making HEADLINES!!
yuk yuk yuk

I'll do it for HALF of what this person is charging you.

Maybe you should open a little practice on the side. :)

I hear you with regard to the hot-bodied little bastards.

And, just what is hot to you? Being from the depths of Hell known as Dallas, I've just got to know...Cause, Jude, it's been close to or over a hundred for the last couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to this weekend because the high is 89! (we even have a 40% chance of rain!!) Of course, we don't have the humidity that you do up there so it might all balance out.

I'm glad that you'll enjoy the heat. I just wanna stay inside.

Personally, I love hot weather. Love love love. It was 86° yesterday and could possibly hit 90° over the weekend. And it hasn't been /terribly/ humid, but yeah, the humidity can be pretty stifling. So sticky. Not yet, right now it's AWESOME.

I spent a couple of summers in New Mexico and one in Tucson, AZ (Hello, 115°:!) and I /loooooooooved it/. Gosh, I love the heat. I should come hang out in Dallas or Austin with you. Except, of course, that I'm deathly afraid of Texas. ;)

But to actually answer your question, I think that most people around here really start complaining about heat when it gets over 85°.

Hey, Jude! I haven't exactly told you when it would be, have I? It's on the 11th of July, probably around 8ish? and i would absolutely still love for you to come! I'll try and give you a call tonite when my phone is free. :)

Uggggh, it's the Tuesday after the 4th of July? Why oh why did I take all of that vacation time the week before??!?! I am going to try to work something out, like maybe take off half of Wednesday so I can stay over and then bust back to work in the late morning. Let me look at my schedule and see what I can work out. (It's tough because I'm missing a lot of these people's appointments the week before and stuff.)

Okay, give me a couple of days to look at my home visits and stuff and see if I can swing it? Or is that too late for you to find someone if I can't go? :(

oh no, i'm sorry jude, it's actually sunday, the 9th! i'm ridiculously irresponsible. does that change anything? i hope you can come!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Dude, Sunday the 9th is SOOOOO much better!!! I am so much more flexible on Monday mornings!

YAY!

good acupuncture is wonderful. just relax into it and breathe slowly & deeply - you might feel some tingling feelings, some warmth, you might even have memories or intrusive thoughts - emotional feelings, etc. you might get a taste in your mouth or a smell or see colors - it's all PERFECTLY NORMAL!

your body releases stuff during acupuncture.

See, the problem is I'm not a very good relaxer. When I stop moving my body, my brain goes in a million different directions to make up for it. Which is why I am a terrible meditator, why the relaxing part of yoga makes me anxious, etc. I'm kind of a relaxation disaster. In fact, the people at the acupuncture place were pretty much making fun of me after when I told them that for the half hour that they left me there, all I could do was think and think and think and think! (And not in the intrusive thoughts way, really, more like, "Oh, I wonder how many minutes have gone by?" "Oh, this CD is kind of cheesy," "Oh, what time do I have to do X tomorrow?" etc.)

It was kind of cool to ask a lot of questions about needles and how they put them in and where they get them and the whole lot of other questions that I came up with for the dude, but I don't think I would have called it relaxing. Maybe that will come in time.

sounds like you need to go hug some trees or something :)

self imposed exile for a few days to let the rat race in your head dissipate.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Honestly? That's never worked for me. I feel the most relaxed when I'm /doing/ something. Which I suppose is probably indicative of a hundred million things, but as far as I can remember, I have always been like that. I was always a kid on the mood, always a thinker. I'm kind of a metacognitive mess - give me some time and I'll just think about the act of thinking! I like the way my brain works.

I would be more concerned if the thoughts in my head were anxious thoughts, or if there were things that I couldn't let go (i.e. work or family or whatever) but it's not like that. Not now, anyway (I can certainly say I ruminated on stuff like that in my younger days).

Thinking about it now (HA! Thinking!), I can see where I don't get a lot of time during the every day to think about mundane things like a relaxation CD or how many minutes have gone by. So maybe in some ways it IS a separation. Who knows? Small steps.

Self-imposed exile? HA! Who has time for that? (I would love to, btw, it's just not in the realistic cards.)

Thanks for the well wishes for our FET. Everything went fine. Just hoping those little babies are sticking right about now.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Stick, little beans, STICK! Do you hear me??!?!?

[sassywoman.livejournal.com]

I've been telling them the SAME thing!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

They'd better be listening!!

I just dislike going to work. Especially in summer. I just want to play!

You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both silly and they won't take either of them. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in saying "I just want to play!" and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said fifty people a day walking in saying "I just want to play!" and walking out. And friends they may think it's a movement.

P.S. Your joke is a Bloom County cartoon!

P.S.S. Yikes! Should have read what I cut-n-pasted the first time.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I think we should TOTALLY make a movement. A "walk out of work and just play" movement. But first we need a good source of income. Dang.
