I:

am crabby.
am frustrated
am into emotinal self-flaggelation.
started my day in tears
can’t wake up
need to study for my Botany quiz
am trying to trade my defeatist attitude for motivation
have an elbow ache
am through with my self-pity session

I am going to swim in my coffee, but here are some links for your entertainment.

• In my quest for earrings, I found this site. I think there are nice silver ear rings, and their wood works are pretty, but all of the ones I liked were out of stock. Figures
• A new light for your future. David and I thought about switching to these kinds of lights. Yes, the expense is initially shocking, but we try to do every little bit that will help. We are such treehuggers.
• D and I watched this show, the episode about King Tut. Then this article came out today-ish (it may have been yesterday). I feel like a kid when I read this stuff. There was a book in the library in one of the elementary schools I attended that was massive (I was in second grade, so everything was larger than life then) and it had neat diagrams of the mummification process and a family tree for the Pharos of Egypt.
• Issac Asimov is probably saying “What took you so long?”
• I would love to telecommute, but they have a point. I think. Maybe not. Oh…jeezey creezy.
• So, as I sit here wallowing in my misery, I figured out that I will feel better if I dream of this trip. The only problems are: D is a bike snob and won’t ride anything except his Tarmac and the expense. But a girl can dream.

It’s work time. Or nap time. I just can’t decide.
