judecorp: (fin - just cold)
I managed to get through almost a full day at work, which was definitely an achievement since I am still, erm, fighting off a cold. I was achy and exhausted all freaking day but made it through play group, an assessment, and a home visit. I was actually supposed to have two home visits, but the first one cancelled on me because she was sick, too. (I was actually going to cancel on them since Mom has major health issues and I didn't want to get her sick.) I did drive over there to drop off the high chair I have for them, though, since it was already in my car.

Since my 2:30 got cancelled, I managed to move my 3:30 up and that gave me plenty of time to get to Malden before rush hour. And why did I go to Malden? BECAUSE WE GOT A NEW KITTEN, that's why! :) :)

Our friend Olex's friend Jamie had a 3-month-old kitten that she had to get rid of because of her landlord, and she was going to have to bring him to a shelter but instead we offered to take him! We're hoping that because he's so young and because he's male, Ralph will let us keep him and won't pee/poop everywhere and try to kill him like she did with Grendel. Here's hoping! We have a vet appointment for him on Saturday morning and right now he's kicking it in the guest room. We brought him out for a little meet and greet and D&R were pretty freaked, so we put him back in the guest room so they could come back to the couch. Cat politics are so complicated.

His name was Binks but I think we're going to call him Fin, a la this userpic. [livejournal.com profile] zuzubailey76 will be so proud.

I'm definitely calling out sick tomorrow. I have work that I can do at home and I have a feeling I'm still going to feel crappy. I have that headache/body ache thing going on, and I really want to nip it before it becomes some more serious sickness like my poor Jennifer, who had bronchitis and an ear infection and now has a major sinus infection. SAD.

I will take kitten pictures tomorrow and you will just DIE of the cuteness!

I'm fighting off a cold right now.

That's what my Boss tells us to say. I guess it's some sort of "Power of Positive Thinking" crap, somehow more empowering to say than "I think I'm coming down with something." She has some sort of belief that if we /say/ we're fighting something off, we won't get sick. Really, I think she doesn't ever want us to miss work. What should she care, she left for a week in St. John today. Lucky.

I have a killer headache but that didn't stop me from talking to Wink for nearly an hour this evening, a conversation sparked because he cracked me up in his recent e-mail about spotting The Shat (W. Shatner) somewhere in town. (He's in LA. Ooh la la.) I do believe it was the sentence, "Or should I say, 'Shat myself?'" that did me in. I'm so easily amused.

It was Two-Kid Wednesday so I actually managed to pound through a significant amount of work on my desk /and/ file two weeks' worth of progress notes. I consider this a huge accomplishment, even if freeing all of this time up was disastrous to the Productivity thing. Aah well, I'm sure last week will cover it.

You know, I really wish love was easy. I don't know how anyone does it. Personally, I don't know if I'm coming or going most days. I can wake up in the morning on the wrong side of the bed and immediately get into a tizzy over something she's done or said, and ten minutes later when I'm still feeling down about it, all I want is to crawl into her arms. There's something mildly /wrong/ about that. How can I want comfort from the person who caused me to want comfort? Love, you're a crazy beast.

I really hope a time comes, and soon, when things settle down around us and we can go back to being Crazy In Love again. Those were good times, and I miss them. There's nothing quite like falling in love, and all of the living together and daily life stuff just messes with that in a lot of ways. Whatever happened to wanting to hold onto every moment and devote every ounce of energy to falling in love? I would like to bottle some of that and sip it every time Real Life tries to get in the way of my love affair.

I just want to go back to those wild and crazy, carefree, nutty-in-love days:

How do those of you in Long Term Loves keep that courtship spark? I'm all ears.
