Just in case I get quiet...

...it's because I'm having Hell Week. I've got a super-short deadline for the magazine. Reader's Poll edition is no fun. I'll be spending the next three days chasing interviews and trying to write a coherant column if I get lucky and manage to get decent interviews.

Catering today. Always makes for stress.

My child is starting to do scary toddler things. Today I stepped out of the room to brush my teeth, leaving her to in the care of "Teletubbies". They're like crack cocaine in this house. That's why we went to the coffeehouse yesterday; I was sick of Clara "Tubbyhead" Jane bringing me the remote and shrieking, "Tubbies! Tubbies!"

Anyway, I'd left her to get a fix. No sooner was I out of the room, I heard what sounded like someone pounding on the window. Not possible, since our house is built into a hill and our main living area is technically the second story. Our windows can't be reached from the outside without a ladder.

They can, however, be reached from the inside by a toddler - who still can't walk and can't quite figure out the sippy cup, mind you - who has pushed her rocking chair to the window and is pounding on it with two fistfuls of Legos.

Turns out, television really is a crappy babysitter.

There's some other crap going on. Not as bad as it was a few weeks ago, but ... stressful. I haven't had a panic attack since January, but I've had a few little ones this week. Not good. So if I don't write much, it's because I'm busy grinding my teeth down to dust.

Or my anxiety might just lead me to getting all manic and prolific on your asses. Who knows?
