Just putting these out there, in case anyone's listening

Dear life in general:

Stop with the cold, already. It's only December. Things aren't supposed to be this miserable for another month or so. And lay off the precipitation on Mondays OK? I really want to go to yoga class.

Real nifty graphic at the top, LJ guys. Now if you could just get the fucking mail comments fuction going? KTHX.

I know it's my fault for not checking sooner, but if somehow someone could have told me that my backup sewing machine was broken? That would've been fantastic. Especially if I'd been told before I offered to take on these paid sewing jobs.

The three pounds that magically appeared on my ass this morning? You may go away now. The lemon cake was really good but I know I didn't eat three pounds of it. Bugger off. Now.

I'm seriously considering taking a couple half days next week. I'm telling you now so in case you feel like popping any more little work surprises on me: next Thursday and Friday would be really bad days for that.

Yours,
CR

UPDATE: [livejournal.com profile] curieuse rocks. I have a working sewing machine as of tomorrow night.

Mental health days are good things. Why not take a whole day, though, rather than half-days? And yes...the email thing with LJ is getting really irritating.

1) This time of year is my busy time. I get a ton of mail every day for application packets, not to mention questions about applications, etc.

2) When I take a whole day off, I rarely get anything done before noon anyway. I spend the morning lounging, drinking too much coffee, making a long, involved breakfast, etc.

If it was about mental health, I'd take the whole day. However, I'm eyeing these as Productive Days with As Little Time Wasted As Possible. So yeah, no lazy mornings.

Until the email function *broke*, I did not know how much I depended on it to maintain a conversational mode on LJ.

I miss it so much that, I'm thinking about asking for an extension on my paid account time.

Take those days off if you can, they'll be good for you.

if you get a response. Or even if you read this. Gods know how many I've missed.

Yeah I know what you mean about the cold. It got below 50 last night (I think). We might have to close the windows at night! :P

And don't forget to turn the heater on for the pool.

Wankers.

I always have a working backup portable machine, feel free to call if you get into that situation again.

You are welcome to borrow my back-up White machine.

And you are welcome to come over and use the Bernina but it doesn't leave my place and it is very very cold in the basement right now.

I've a machine that I rarely use so you can borrow it anytime :)
