good intentions along my road to hell

It's so gray and icky out. But I'm kind of loving it. Suits my mood. Which, while not icky and gray, is a bit subdued.

Extra hours at work today to make up for having yesterday off. We launch the new site on Wednesday night and I'm hoping it'll be a relatively smooth transition. We have the best admin ever, so I feel pretty fucking confident going in that all will be okay.

Must set some sort of job-hunting plan/schedule. And try to use this extra time a bit more effectively instead of staring out window for 9 hours a day petting Hobbsie.

Should:

find work (duh)
work on quilts (esp Z's quillow since his bday was back in April and Ellie's bday quilt, shit)
work on Mo's scarf (must finish before parental visit on 24th so they can take back)
work on Y's scarf since his bday is actually coming up
work on stupid slippers for A because his bday was way back in March
re-learn French since Amy sent me that 6-disc set
repair crotch tear in good pants in case of interview
organize file boxes (bleargh)
clean car of all excess debris
organize bookshelves

Why is it the more time I have the less organized I am? All these hours looming ahead are somewhat oppressive and I end up wanting to nap instead of powering ahead and doing all the things I wouldn't have time for if I had a 40hr work week.

Looking very forward to dinner with Judy tonight. Haven't seen her in over a week.

I swear to god, all web quizzes claim I'm pure, unvarnished evil.

she picks me up, like i've never been down before

Judy is amazing. Had a wonderful dinner at Atlas Foods in the U Village. I didn't realize it was a restaurant, I thought it was a health food store, but apparently not. We managed to catch up after too many days apart.

I can never fake cheer with Judy. She sees right through it. And after 25 years of friendship, she always offers both comfort and a useful game plan.

Have been missing devinluvsrussia frantically and feel a bit down about the lack of Greenlake activity in my life. So Judy and I are going to add Greenlake to our regularly scheduled Thursday activities. And we're going on Saturday as well.

We talked over the many issues plaguing my mind these days and I feel much more like myself now. Able to tackle the world again. Yay, etc.

Must hunt down jeff_nw and get an infusion of his company, because christ on a fucking pony I miss him. He always manages to make me love the world, too.

Tomorrow is the launch and I'm excited. Ready to have it over with. We've been working on this for the past year and it's exciting to think it'll finally be up. There're still more things planned for the site, but the pressure will be somewhat off.
