Ugh.

So I didn't go to work today, and though I was entirely justified -- really, way more than justified -- I do feel guilty, like the good little American Puritan worker I was raised to be. So I've been engaged in the prednisone-fueled inner dialogue all day that goes back and forth between believing in my right to avoid demeaning situations, as well as my goal of not going off on a prednisone-fueled shooting spree/screaming fit, balanced against the fact that I really did need to go get that bloodwork done some day, so why not today? Man, this stuff is killing me.

And tomorrow we're having an evacuation drill at school. Maybe it's just me, but I think announcing it and planning it and having everybody come to an assembly in the morning so that we all know just what to do kind of takes the element of surprise out of it. We've actually evacuated the building twice in the last few years, no drill, and did just fine. The last time we had a drill, they marched us out to the football field and then there was a game that we all had to watch the first hour of. It's kind of like being at Mad Magazine High School.

And ... and .... and ... I really need to get some sleep tonight. That's it for me.
