Life imitates 'B' movies

The last few days I've been a real horror to everyone in this house. At the most benign remarks from BB, I would fly off the handle. I would urge him to sit down and rest his knee while I made dinner, then later make a snotty remark that he wasn't helping in the kitchen. Then he'd get defensive, and I'd cry, and off we'd go. Stupid! I finally figured out why. Night Girl's insomnia last week was only a portent of doom.

My nervousness about grad school has finally manifested itself in temporal form.

Aieee! Run from the creature! She's crying buckets one minute, laying waste to Tokyo the next!

Or was that the Jersey Turnpike? Whatever, man.

And I sat here periodically this weekend with a real case of blogger's block. I couldn't blog about my mood until I could laugh about it first. Here at Beancounter's, you're guaranteed a smile, or your money back. Provided you paid me any money in the first place, mwheh-heh.

I see now it's crucial that I keep up with my sleep the next few weeks, so my mood stays upbeat and I don't fall into fights, paranoid fears, Amway, etc.

Anthony suggests I also chew on a pen, as that sort of thing seems to garner a lot of sympathy among blog readers. Cheeky devil.

Good god,wymmym, it's just grad school. Sacramento grad school at that. All you'll have to deal with are comptetive fellow students, a little more homework and, god forbid, a reseach class. After years in the state government, higher education should be as easy as picking a new restaurant for lunch.
I went to Ivy League grad school and one year of ACC Grad School, I can guarantee you that you'll be fine. Now stop giving BB a hard time and clean up your dog and make dinner and CALM DOWN!! Good gravy, you survived Gaey Unruh, Ed Harris, Sylvia Ghiglieri and Debbie K---can Sacto grad school be any more absurd!!

Sweetie, I don't know whether to laugh, or seek you out and deliver a Three Stooges slap upside your head.

Ivy League? Is that a new Major League Baseball expansion league? I heard they were starting one of those up, but I never figured they'd have to go to school to play baseball. Sheesh. They ask a lot of a guy just to swing a bat, don't they?
