Fnarr.

Why am I in such a bad mood today?

Okay, headache aside...
And ignoring the fact that Bronte vomited four times during the round-trip to the vet's office...
Add to that a whole lot of internal frustration and self-directed anger... (Wangsty stuff, trust me -- desire for tea-shop means having to live in this area longer than I want, but given my lack of success in getting into a PhD program, professional choices feel like they're getting further and further away from me.)
Skipping over the revelation that, thanks to recent gas prices, we may not be able to go to DC at the end of September...
Our automatic once-every-three-months domain payment hit us at the worst possible moment...
And I'm cleaning the house.

*sigh*

...I suspect, also, that there's PMS'ness going on here, too.

But at least I haven't been getting any angry emails. Most everyone who's written me has said they understand my reasons, and while they're sad to see it go, they agree it's not the same site it used to be. I do suspect that I'm not getting any letters full of righteous indignation because (a) hardly anyone read the admin email I sent, and (b) a majority of people who visit the site skip over the front page entirely, going straight to the forums. So... yeah. October 27 is going to be an interesting day.

Fnarr, indeed.

*hugs*

I wish I had anything constructive to say but...yeah, not much you can say to any of that. I'll be around during the day and it doesn't look like I'll be too busy if you wish someone to commiserate with, though.

*hugs*

Heh, yeah. Though I am feeling better. The headache went away (either due to Tylenol or due to the fact that I made my lazy ass work out), and the house is clean, and... well, I don't plan on bringing Bronte anywhere else anytime soon, and George is saying now that maybe we can still take the trip, only make it shorter -- like four days instead of a full week.

I say I'll take what I can get. :D

I did find some interesting B&B's located smack dab in the middle of Old Town, with rates that are... really too good to be true. I've got to do a bit more research, but we may end up going with a B&B instead of a hotel. (Only thing is, George haaates B&B's. He thinks they're creepy. I don't know why. But I may appeal to him with the drastic difference in price.)

*nodnods* Glad your mood has improved at any rate.

The shortened trip sounds like a good compromise, as does the B&B option. I've only stayed in one once, myself and while I didn't find it creepy, it was kind of an odd experience. (Of course, the entire trip was really odd, but that's another story for another time...)

The invitation to hang out online still stands though, as the only project I'm working on is in review today and I am correspondingly bored. ;-)
