One of the things that has been bugging me lately is waking up with that "up and at 'em" feeling, completely refreshed, alert, and ready to start the day (even if it is dark), only to find it's a little after 1 am.

I managed to get back to sleep but woke again at 4:30 am, this time for good.

I had finished the text documents I had on my plate late night, and I knocked off the remaining hazard reports this morning, so aside from a despeckle, an invoice, and an email, the plate is empty.

This is good, as we're trying to get the place a little more shipshape-looking in anticipation of a visit from Jim W. and his ux, who are stopping by tomorrow on their way to Denver.

After finishing the translations, the rest of the presentation came together like the last few pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Now I just have to rehearse this new presentation a few times before Saturday.

Cheers...

OK, I'll bite. What's an "ux"? I don't see you making typos, so I assume that was an intentional spelling. In fact, I'm wracking my brain for some explanation and coming up empty. Ultra X woman, underwear x-rated, ultimately xenophobic????

Well, if I had made an effort to be painstakingly correct, I would have written et ux. instead of "and ux" (ux. being the abbreviation for uxor, Latin for "wife").

This construction is most commonly encountered - where else? - in law, e.g., "John Smith et ux. to Joe Wesson" in a deed of conveyance.

However, I am not feeling painstakingly correct; indeed, I am barely at the point of being pain-kebabing-ly correct.

Cheers...
