Andrea's Adventures in Binkyland

Waking from the Long Nightmare

It's OVER, ALL OVER!

I have survived MailCom Anaheim 2004, I have completed work on the RS/6000 of Suffering, I have almost had enough sleep in the last week!

To celebrate these wondrous milestones, I took a long bath and then enjoyed a bit of eggnog. Yes, with RUM IN IT. Yes, on a school night! I am so wild and crazy, you know you wish you were like me.

Tomorrow, I have to begin making amends for all of the sucky things that happened while I was thusly embroiled in my despair, to wit:

• Not calling my *own mother* on her birthday


• Inadvertently standing up a good friend on a lunch date


• Blowing off one of my friendliest and longest-standing clients for like a week


• Not getting my car inspected, as per the laws of the land


• Not recording many significant events herein, including weddings and Amateur Gourmet winnings


• Dude, you so do not want to enter my house right now


• Yeah, so I gained a couple of pounds, too.

So I pretty much have my work cut out for me. Fortunately, the baby is in good health aside from a bit of a runny nose, and the house is recoverable, thanks in no small part to the efforts of my husband, the unsung hero of the can-and-bottle-returning.

Thank you, Internet, and good night.
