but i don't care for sugar honey if i can't have you
Sorry for not blogging the last couple of days - I've been scrambling to get ready for my trip, and it has made me both more frazzled and more boring than usual. I'm mostly packed, though - I have a couple of last things to do tomorrow, but then I'm heading to Tahoe for some long-anticipated writing fun with Veronica (yayyyyy).
Beyond packing, there were other tings happening the last couple of days. I had both a library board meeting and a PEO meeting on Wednesday, an economic development meeting yesterday, and allergy shots, in addition to my usual attempts to keep my life in order. There was also much basketball to be watched (and so far so good for the Cyclones). And, I had dinner with my parents and [censored] tonight, which was pretty tasty and a nice way to catch up before my trip.
But now, I need to go to bed so I can get approximately two hours less sleep than I normally do before waking up and finishing my task list. Goodnight!

am i not hot when i'm in my feelings
Nothing to report - or lots to report, if you care about royal family gossip, or how many times I've watched the 'I'm Just Ken' video from the Oscars, or various somewhat secret projects I have going on. Today was pretty chill, though - I got a bunch of stuff done, ran some errands, took a walk, chatted with Caroline, and made tofu stirfry for dinner since I had the house and the menu to myself.
But now, I'm going to try to wind down and go to bed at a more reasonable hour so I can continue my quest to get on daylight savings time (before undoing that work by going to Tahoe on Saturday). Goodnight!

i'm enough, and i'm great at doing stuff
I did almost nothing today - I stayed up too late last night, slept too late through the time change, had a bit of an upset stomach that encouraged me to linger in bed, and so finally emerged from my room sometime after eleven. I made myself some v. tasty coffee, which only rallied me enough to watch the Big 10 women's basketball championship, which was a pretty exciting battle between Iowa (not my home team, but I'll cheer for them in some circumstances) and Nebraska (never my team).
Eventually, I helped [censored] with a thing, did a wee bit of writing, and discovered it was already 5:30pm, so I watched the Oscars. While watching the Oscars, I also heated up some frozen spaghetti sauce and made spaghetti for dinner, which was a nice thing to eat while watching awards given for a bunch of films I haven't seen. I did really enjoy Ryan Gosling's "I'm Just Ken" performance though, so that was worth the wait.
And now, I should probably consider going to bed and attempting to get on the right time - goodnight!

sing the wrong lines to my own song, you don't mind
I had a pretty lazy day this morning, but I spent some quality time this afternoon working on a website project that I've been putting off for six months. I took a break at some point to take a wee nap, and then I broke for dinner - [censored] and I met our parents in Seymour, where some prime rib and onion rings made a valiant attempt to revive me. It was nice to hang out for a bit, so it was a v. good break...
...and then I came home and worked on the website for another three hours, which means my eyes are starting to cross and I should really go to bed before I revert to my ulcerous workstyle ways. Goodnight!
