My nephew's birthday party is today. I've known about this since last night. Because I got home early enough that my parents were still awake and told me about it. Otherwise, they probably would have told me a couple of hours ago, the message delivered via my mom coming in with unwrapped presents for me to give him. And had I gotten up as early as I wanted to, such a message would have interrupted my thesis work, which would have totally destroyed my concentration. Good thing it didn't work out that way.

But there are still unwrapped presents to deal with, and I really don't want to search through a bunch of Christmas gift bags looking for the one birthday one in the bunch.

All I want to do is sit down and work on my damned thesis without being interrupted for stupid questions that are the very opposite of urgent. Is that so much to ask?

I think it somewhat indicative of my stress level how many pictures of Robert Sean Leonard I have open on my computer. Right now, there are seven. (Eight, if you count AIM icon.) And I have a 7-10 page research paper due in two days, which I haven't started, although I do have a topic. My research journal is not in order, as last night I discovered things I'd missed somehow. And I've already wasted half my day.

In other news, an aunt of mine died overnight. She'd been in a nursing home for years, and in pretty bad shape but living on her own for many years before that. Good that she's free of her ravaged body.

ETA: How much do I love Glarkware? This is one of their new shirts.
