I only recently learned the abbreviation FML. Today, i've been completely drained by FML! reactions to work politics that leave me wrangling details and other people's work and leave many us dangling because there haven't been people to manage swaths of work. And decisions! Ha!
My product person and i actually stopped work on something where it was "urgent" (except no one had noticed it wasn't done until i asked what the priority was). There were too many details that were not my details and i did not want to muck through them when the "owner" was AWOL and the other "owner" didn't exist. I've been bridging vacuum.
Anyhow.
So, at 3:30 i quit, which is reasonable when the first call was at 6:45. Working at home means, for me, i work more intensely. The bathroom isn't a long wander off. I'm not going to the break room to get water or tea but have a pot at hand. No sociable interruptions, just urgent issues...
The autumn light, those long golden rays, are filling the living room. The deck is warm and the scent of lemon blossoms fills the space. The yellow rose has three fully blown blooms: you can't tell some critter ate half of the bud of one of them! Christine called and reminded me to exercise and eat dinner: make one of your sardine dishes, she suggested, as she's doing tech tutoring tonight.

Mr M came home from the vet with steroid pills we think will make him more comfortable. (He has a terrible rash.) He still purrs wonderfully when one comes near. Greycie Loo is spry and pert and vocal and more than adorable. Haven't seen Edward. My sister called. Since i have to travel to the east coast for work in December, i'll be visiting family, too.

I don't know how i'm going to get the presentation done for Friday and wrangle all that must be wrangled.... But so it goes. MLF: My Life is Fabulous.
