some peace?

 i mean, i'm feeling thoroughly cooked but i have another meeting with gco and sailor at 9pm.

today began alright, until just before leaving to take mr smear to school when i got into a ridiculous and very intense argument with gco. that set the tone and drained my energy for the day before it had even begun, even if we did resolve it (apparently) amicably.

[my thumbnail's got split skin that's bleeding and hurting and driving me crazy. i suspect it's from it being dry skin season]

i had another first encounter with a different company this morning, and it went *much* better than yesterday's.

gd and i were all good this morning, although she's still suffering intensely. i had to leave work at noon to pick mr smear up from school because she couldn't handle it. not only did that work out because i remembered that he had geometry (actual geometry :P) homework, and i also got to see today's artwork which was very cool (especially his stick figure renditions of one piece characters).

the work day went well, overall, and i managed to leave with a surprisingly strong sense of satisfaction.

now for dinner and a meeting :P
