The day is off. Something is in the air. My gut says I need to lay low today.
* woke up terribly late
* forgot my cell phone at home
* the sky’s dark, muggy, thick with dark cloud layers
* it’s raining not the feel-good rain which gives a vicarious cathartic release of rainfall, but the floating misty water that just gets the windshield translucent and makes the car gray
* we were just handed a Family Law ex parte case that was just transferred from Arizona this morning; there’s no file created yet, and nothing exists in the Family Law computer system yet so I can’t look up the case nor add today’s minutes to the case, or create any sort of a record at all of today’s hearing
* my judge loathes whining sniveling family law issues, and is in a foul mood (we’re not a family law court so it’s a double-insult that we got this case instead of the 3 family law courts in the building, altho there’s probably an explanation somewhere about that)
* my HS friend’s wedding is tomorrow evening and I don’t know what I’m wearing, or what gift I’ll be bearing; the “out” is that her online registery allows you to sponsor part of her honeymoon for the wedding gift, which I think is a GREAT idea (instead of collecting a bunch of useless clutter) and easy for the guests
* a friend’s sister’s college graduation is tomorrow morning and I haven’t bought her anything, either; the “out” here is that I don’t have a direct relationship with the graduate; I’m going along as company for the friend. And I did put together the ensuing brunch at Cheesecake Factory, so I feel like I did more than I’m obliged to already
* Father’s Day is next weekend and of course I’m also unprepared
