Uck! I Am So Tired

Uck! I am so tired. But I need to blog. Also, I need to post book reviews. Also, I need to take the necessary forms to the Reference Letter Filing people, so that when my reference letters start to trickle in, they won't go straight to the G-A-R-B-A-G-E because I'm not in the system! Also, I need to finish knitting my scarf because it is a-fucking-mother-one cold. I have, currently:

One puppy
One unfinished poetry assignment
Two wet socks lying across my shelving unit
One angsty rat
Seven used tissues cluttering the desk
The sniffles
Some vicious but receding virus
A date on Monday
God on my side. I swear!

Now to bed, to hopefully dream up the story about the guy in Disneyland I've been trying to write ever since that Henry Ford Museum conference I went to last week with Jon and Sara. The symposium was one big ad for Disneyland, but interesting. And that museum kicks -- well, somebody's booty. The Dymaxion house of the pseudo-future! Trains! Plastic moldables! I want to go back very badly to see Greenfield village. I did not appreciate as a child that Robert Frost's house is there. Before Christmas, there will be lights. I'll go then.

I really wish I had remembered to mail Margaret's package today. The letter inside is sorely out of date -- why am I such a bad friend? Why oh why? If I didn't know better, I would say God is not on my side.

Was I supposed to recieve something in the mail? I didn't, and was worried that your letter was lost? But if you didn't send anything, that's good b/c the postal system didn't fail!

Also, God forgives all absent-minded people. At least, I hope so. Or we're both in a lot of trouble.

Yay, package! :D I sent you a scary postcard, btw.

Hmm...you were supposed to receive a letter, just not the package. But you don't have the letter? About yay big, very white, covered in postage stamps? Came through the mail?

Margaret said...

Nope.

I hope it wasn't lost in the mail. Uh oh.

How was your date?

Sadly, ugly dude won't come as ugly dude and I are no longer being seen together, or seeing each other.

But Disney sounds like fun anyway :)
