Oh no! I'm sorry that you're having a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day.

But seeing Alexander there definitely made me smile...

Me, too, actually. :D My morning isn't nearly as bad as it could have been, but it just felt like a kind of off-kilter morning. Having Alexander up there makes it a little better, at least. :)

Productivity is the best cure for the working blues. I need to get on that...

Yeahhhh, I need to do more of that, whoops. It's horrible-- I feel better when I'm productive, but I HATE doing it. Ahhhh, work, the curse of the drinking classes.

A tall cool pint sounds lovely right about now. Yes, it's 9am here and I'm already day dreaming of going home to my Goose Island Mild Winter Ale.

It's February, almost Spring!
Truck Day is the 12th
The days are longer and lighter, now 10 hours
There's a pretty white dress hanging in my closet
You can walk to work, thus accomplishing aerobic exercise daily
There is a cute little dog here who loves you (no matter how you look!)
Wes actually does come Home at the end of the day. :-)

Tomorrow is Tuesday and Monday will be gone......

Oh, yes, things got much better after I got home... and THEN I got sick. Maybe not so much... :)

Yeah, I hate those days when I have to start channeling Scarlett O'Hara before 11am (you know, "tomorrow is another day...") But I am so with you on the restorative powers of a bagel (or toast) and jam and a hot bath. Preferably with a LUSH product, but that's really just a bonus.

Also, so much sympathy on the whole relationship/living with a chemistry grad student thing. Any science PhD program is fairly rough but chemistry seems to take it to a new level. (A lot of the chem labs here have their group meetings on weekends or until 8pm... not that I'm never HERE at those times, but I imagine the entire lab would revolt if anyone attempted to schedule a meeting then.)

The day got better, but then I landed myself with a nasty cold. :( And since work is so busy, I haven't been able to take a sick day yet. But Wes has been very sweet (yesterday he got me dinner!), so I'll survive. I might take Friday off, if I'm still as tired as I've been all week.

Yeah, he's got long, loooong ass days. He gets to work/class by 9am, and typically isn't home until anywhere from 7 to 9. Some days he brings grading home, and then he'll get home by 5 or 6, but he'll be doing work until 10 or later. And yeah, his group meetings are Thursdays until "7:30", but they last until 8 or later. Plus, he's in one day on the weekends for a few hours.

Icing on the cake, for this week: Wes' 25th birthday is tomorrow. He's got work, classes, grading, and his group meeting tomorrow night. It's one of the busiest days he's had yet.
