Somebody is planning to have a good night and a bad morning after with this combo…

Sign of how the day is going
Katy wrote this morning:
You get a feel for what kind of day its going to be when not only do you realize your top is on inside out, but back to front as well…
I’ve been staring at the same word document for the last 5 minutes, trying to read the same sentence, and I just now realized that I haven’t blinked once in that time.
Biggest oxymoron I’ve seen in a while…
I was listening to some music on my ipod and a song made me think of Crazy German Girl. It happens once in a while, and sometimes I wonder what she’s up to and if she’s happy. She was a really close friend once, and I’ve always had a lingering malaise at how we broke things off. This time, something in the cosmic balance made me send her an olive branch email and see what happens from there.
I got this back from her:
Hi Richard. Looooong forgotten, no need for a lingering malaise. Don’t take it personally, but I’m not interested in staying in touch.
So yeah, I won’t take it personally ;)
UPDATE: It gets better :) About 20 minutes later, I get this:
fyi i am sure we went through this same exchange at least once. maybe delete my email addresses…
A quick look through all of my gmail would seem to disprove that. I don’t remember it, if it happened.
UPDATE 2: So, 3 hours after the last email, to which I didn’t respond to, I see this in my inbox:
So I just looked through my inbox. You contacted me previously with similar reconcile/stay-in-touch request. As per my previous email of this morning, if you can please delete my email addresses in your contacts and/or refrain from using them in the future.
Katy says that I already have a neurotic woman in my life and I don’t need another one. I have to concur. So, as per her wishes, I will delete all traces of Crazy German Girl from my email and contacts.
Have a good life, Tina; hope you allow yourself be happy.
FINAL EDIT: Best facebook comment on this post:
Somehow immediately this pictures comes up in my mind:
Purple juice
You know, mummy, rabbit likes drinking purple juice (*).
You know, Bean, mummy likes purple juice too!
(*) what Bean calls blackcurrant ribena.
My wife mings!
I was happily snuggled with my head on her hip and she farted on me!
In the hope of cheering me up, here’s a picture of Pavel and Peso.
Here’s one with Tolstoy.
And here’s a close-up of Peso!
The advantages of working in a technical institute
My glasses slipped off my nose when I was bending down and fell on the floor. One of the lenses went poing! I thought it might have broken, but I was lucking in that sense that it had only popped out. I went through a few of the labs and found one who had a set of jeweler’s screwdrivers that I could borrow. After that, I was able to clean my glasses with 70% ethanol and kimwipes. Brought back memories :)
Harder than I expected
So, this post-a-day thing is going to be a bit harder than I thought it would be. Not a lot to say today. Got the NAS up and running so we have access to our pictures and music. Made a nice curry for dinner. Went for a walk along the lake with Katy and bean. Yelled at the child a lot. Typical weekend stuff. Will post pictures when my phone is charged.
Edit: Here are the pictures
Can’t seem to wake up
I can’t seem to wake up these days. I’m chugging caffeine at work, but to no avail. I sleep ok-ish, but I’m not getting rested. Weird dreams.
Back to work
First post-holiday back at work, and I’m sorting through my inbox and various dead-tree format paperwork. Day seems rather… long. Just found out that I missed an email last december informing me that I’m giving a presentation next week, doh! My new glasses are giving me a bit of grief for computer work :( I’m going to call my ophthalmologist about that tomorrow.
For the past 2 weeks, Bean has been getting up at the crack of dawn, full of pep. This morning, seeing as it’s a school day, I had to wake him up at 7:30. This does not bode well for his teenage years.
A bit over enthusiastic
We were at a restaurant, sharing a pitcher of Long Island ice tea, when Katy was a bit zealous in trying to get the last few drops out of it…
