YES! THIS!

You need to replenish the well, babydoll.

Come here. We spent the morning doing Play Dough. (I make a mean pink pig, if I do say so myself.) But, silly as it sounds, I definitely felt better after. Doing something kinda creative with no strings or pressure was fun.

Blond, what's JL's vibe on the Bar Exam? Or is he still recovering?

He's in Day Three as we speak. Last day.

General consensus from online is that this has been one of the hardest Bars in recent history. But JL was dancing around the house at 7am singing "The Final Countdown" in his bath towel, so yeah, I think he's handling the pressure. :D

Glad you're feeling less stressed, Blond. :Hug2:

I wish. Losing my fucking mind today, actually. ;)

THINK POSITIVE! THINK POSITIVE!

Hahaha, aww, damn. :Hug2:

Positive is hard. But that smiley sounds like a good idea. I'm doing the caffeine version of that and decamped to my favorite coffee shop for some change of scenery. Writing with pretty mountain view now.

Coffee. Actually, that might help me.

Just one of those days where there's too much going on. My head is spinning and I can't focus. I'm actually taking tomorrow off the day job because of Monday's deadline. I'm so far behind and I can't push it again, plus there's yet another fucking wedding I have to sing at this weekend. Kill me?

{{{Dys}}} Although, your posts demonstrate that you're stringing decent sentences together, so things are looking up! :D

I just read a property appraisal that had a field labelled "Adequacy" and it was marked "Adequate".

Gee, I hope my adequacy is adequate. Could someone check for me?

Clovia!

And thanks so much for all the continuing cover compliments. It really helps!

Fingers crossed for JL. I forget (or maybe it varies) -- is the California bar all or nothing, or is it like the CPA exam where you can pass certain sections but not others?

Kell, the bar is all or nothing, at least in NY. I think it's the same in Cali and elsewhere.

You never learn your actual grade unless you fail.

Good luck, JL!!!

My outline has an ending! It needs a bit more poking, and I think a CP is going to let me bounce things off her, but the whole thing has a beginning, middle, and an end. And I'll veer off course when necessary. So relieved!

(And my last scene actually comes full circle from the beginning, which never happens to me. *eyes outline suspiciously*)

Fingers crossed for JL!

So... Ninja Minion just called IT over to her desk so that he could fix it so she can watch the Olympics on her work computer.

This doesn't surprise me. At all.

When D. worked at Village, he got requests/complaints about not being able to access ticket sites, baseball stats, porn, iTunes, fishing forum, etc etc etc. Even from the owner of the company (the tickets and baseball).


N B C is putting 24-hour Olympic coverage on a special site to catch all events live, btw, for fans of such.

I'm already fed up to the back teeth with the Olympics.

Mr FD watching the men's football - England -v- Senegal.

Shoot me now.

btw, upstate NY purgies stay safe! Someone I know on FB just posted that there was a nasty storm in his neck of the woods "trees slapping the ground and things airborne". :Wha:

Send some of that weather to Arizona, please. It's hot, it's boring, and I'm too poor to escape to someplace cooler and saner.

I'm not watching the Olympics. The travesty that is the London attempt burned out my already dwindling interest weeks ago. The closest I've come is catching the absolutely last 'Absolutely Fabulous' episode.
