I just finished reading all the blog share posts. Thanks again, -R-, for braving the sickness and putting it all together! After reading through all of them, I’d like to publicly and non-anonymously I would like to state for the record: Thank you, Mom. Thank you thank you thank you for not messing up my life! A lot of moms out there have done a lot of bad. And while we’re at it: Thank you, Dad. Thanks for getting together with Mom and staying together and supporting me all these years and being in no way abusive. And for good measure, Thank you, SisterAlyson. You are good people.

I’m a mentally drained from all of those stories, and impressed with how much people have to say. I also really enjoyed writing mine, it felt so good to get that story written down. I wonder how many of you recognized me in it, if you made it over there. I didn’t mind that there were some identifying details, but it just couldn’t go on this blog. And thanks to my guest poster, anonymous, and to all you who joined in on the discussion anonymous began.

In other “I’m tired” news, I had my big event today. I’m not going to talk much about it because it has to do with the place we don’t speak of, but I will say that it went really really well, and I’m elated. I spoke in front of a group of 50 or so people, and lived to tell the tale. I organized a bunch of stuff, and all us co-workers pulled together as a team. I’m going to go over the evaluations at work tomorrow, but early exit polls show that we scored high marks all around. When I got home I treated myself to a large glass of wine, a Tofuti “ice cream” sandwich and a watching of “Die Hard,” which I’d never seen before. Yippie-ki-yai-yay.  I can take it a little easy now, which means more quality time with my toaster oven.

Furthermore, I’m taking the day off on Friday. I worked really hard, and I’m not going to let The Man have my 366th day! But first, I’m going to bed and sleep like a champ.
