Blarg. Woke up with a migraine at 7am this morning. Took meds, settled into my new jigsaw puzzle again until they kicked in, and about two hours later a massive thunderstorm with hail hit and passed over really quickly. We're due for storms all day. Never did get back to sleep, and although the migraine is mostly gone my brainmeats are mushier than usual today. I'm at a good holding point in my project work until we can finally have this meeting to sort things out, and I'm definitely not in good shape for the kind of focus it requires, so linketies it is. Good for the mushy brainmeats, they are. Also, the office is hot and humid as hell for some reason. As soon as 5pm hits it's barefoot time; that'll make me feel a good bit more human.

In happy news, I've been feeling all frubbly about the new developments in the lives of two of my partners. Not my place to go into more detail than that, but it is a good and happy thing in both cases, so yay!

I really hope it turns out these folks were there because they were interested in justice being served, not in defending these assholes. I will be furious if it turns out otherwise. I get enraged with the anti-choice movement when they don't take a stand against violent anti-choice terrorists, and I'm not going to expect less of the people on my side.
