persistence

yep, still coughing. my mom too. this is ridiculous.

i'm hoping that calling out yesterday's "surprise" urgency nonsense doesn't backfire. nor my unintentionally passive-aggressive response to my boss asking me to respond to something that he'd been asked for input on after i escalated to an expert. nor my working on the variety of things that landed on my desk today, each one "urgent" and "important".

i'm hoping that my next interview goes well, even if i'm not particularly thrilled about it.

i managed to get some filing done this morning, so that was good. apparently mr smear's playdate this afternoon was a mixed bag, he did a couple of things that he was embarrassed about, but at least he had the good sense to be embarrassed. and he managed to get permanent marker in our bathroom sink, but i think my method (hand sanitizer and vinegar) and strength should have it off in another round or two.

still tired, still wired, still anxious.

still coughing.
