Oh MAN! I totally feel like hideous-troll-swm this morning, all lurching about and, and - not drooling, but I think probably only because of my supreme force of will - and just generally feeling sub-subhuman.

That pretty much is the translation to swmbo majorly overslept this morning - I woke up and my alarm said 7:52. Although it's slightly fast, so it was really 7:46 or something. The point is, I was bad. I had no time for coffeee!!!

I nearly left the house without any good coffee, but at the last minute I remembered I had a plastic mug thing that would work (I so need to buy a new travel mug) and I filled that and it's right here, at my elbow. *pats it* So eventually it'll hit my system and I might feel only sub-human. I'm thinking of running stumbling down to the deli and buying coffee from then, which totally goes against my principles of, um, being a total cheapskate and preferring to complain about work coffee, but normally I at least have a solid grounding of real coffee.

Of course there's a good chance I am going to die before then, what with the complete and utter inability to function. An example:

So I drive to work, park the car, take the keys out of the ignition and put them in my purse, open the car door, glance down and confirm that the keys are in my purse, zip it up. Step out of the car, lock the door, but leave it open. Think I need to make sure I don't lock the keys in the car. Unzip and look in the wrong pocket of my purse. Panic, and look at the seat of my car. Check the other pocket of my purse. Ahh, keys! Put my hand on the door. Think keys. I can see the keys in my purse while I have my hand on the door but I am unable to close it because, omg, what if I lock my keys in the car?!

Oh yeah that's the kind of clarity I'm operating under right now. So dooomed.

In work news, half of my office is out today which makes it eerie and quiet. One person is on vacation all next week and since it's the person I'm working on a project for, there's this whole feeling of freedom, because I can do it as I wish. It actually doesn't even have a deadline yet, which is an error in our project manager that I will conveniently forget to mention until I get a lot closer to done. Just in case. Although I know I have at least all of next week, so wee.

For those of you are absolutely overcome with worry - swmbo hasn't talked about her lawn or mowing in weeks! I hope everything is ok, you are saying to yourself! Shh, shhh, it'll be ok. I haven't talked about it because I am bad and it looks terrible. Not 'call the county' terrible, but not spiffy. But I have mowed it SINCE the last time I talked about it. And I will mow it again this weekend. I thought about mowing it last night, because the weather is astonishingly gorgeous and cool for August, but instead I talked to my best friend/neighbor. Sooo...this weekend I need to mow the lawn, do the scrubby bits of cleaning, and work on like a gazillion fics, for both ficathons and for things I want to do. Although if I don't stop sleeping like the insane (I NEVER sleep like this, normally I'm prone to insomnia, not going into a coma from which I can not be woken)...

Actual Jossverse Fannish content: One of the fics I'm (delayed) on is having me watch Season 1 of Angel again. So last night I watched City of... and nearly broke down in tears when I thought about NFA. Ok, fine, I did break down in tears, or at least the stung my eyes. Dude, it's not fair. On multiple levels, from the selfish-swm ones to the way my heart is breaking for everybody in that episode. Damn it. And then I topped it off by watching Season 4 vids that have Connor in them and god, the pain on his face and then those meoments when he's happy so freaking briefly and it all gets ripped away again and...Oh god. I am going to just be a wreck in September when Season 4 comes out. You might as well give up on me now.


( Cut for Babylon 5 content )

Ok, that's it for now, because swmbo is tired. swmbo needs a lot more coffee if she's going to survive the day. On the other hand, one of my coworkers brought me a cinnamon roll, so I might just make it. Plus, it's FRIDAY! Although I have NO WORDS for how much I miss everybody who is on vacation and has either limited or no online time - annakovsky, arundhathi, flowery_twat, ros_fod - just to name a few. And next up myriad69 is going to be out all next week, so who is going to send me emails at work? Because bear might not, since today is her last day of work and she'll have proper LJ access again and might forget about me! *flails*
