- I was originally scheduled to have my migraine Botox appointment on Jan. 3. I obviously had to reschedule because of the work trip, but the earliest appointment was Jan. 31.

So this month is going to SUCK. A lot.
- I had a 7:30am meeting yesterday with a bunch of the UK folks to talk about release notes. Which is the work topic closest to my heart right now, because our releases and release notes processes are pretty much structured on what's the best solution for Engineering. You can see why this is a problem. The upshot of the meeting was "Jillian, please come to our UK office at the end of Feb. when we have a customer feedback session scheduled". Um, okay?
- The kitties are still getting along! It's a miracle! In fact, when I tapped out of work yesterday (sleep dep AND migraine), both of them curled up on me. That hasn't happened for almost a decade.
- The car is working. Ish. It's obviously on its last legs, and hooo boy did we not want to buy a car right after buying the house (and still carrying two mortgages), but it's going to have to happen.
- The Madwoman in the Attic, because she's currently unemployed and bored out of her mind, has been sorting through all the fabric she's had in storage. There's a lot. She keeps waving stuff at me, watches my expression, and then laughs. So far she has made me a skirt, leggings, and a dress. (From black velvet-flocked lawn!) There are two more dresses and some fichus/collars/dickies also in various states of construction.
All of this is keeping me from impulse buying things online! Which is fantastic! When I told her about the probably impending UK trip, she grinned and said "Tell me what new wardrobe items you'll need". The woman is INSANE.
