After a wonderful weekend of the world revolving around me (me! me! me!), I caught myself at dinner last night, involuntarily reminding myself, "Oh, yeah, you're invisible - don't even bother trying to enter this conversation" See what I mean about self-fulfilling prophecies?

Strange thing about last night - everyone knew I was there. They appreciated my appreciation of their wit and humor. I could see in their eyes when they looked my way that they liked that I laughed and smiled. It was only when I tried to speak that no one seemed able to hear me.

On another note, after remembering my 7:30 appointment at 7:15 this morning (right after getting out of the shower), missing breakfast, looking like shit and not having brushed my teeth, I have discovered the wonder of oranges and hot chocolate. I happened to have an orange in the bag I grabbed as I ran out the door, and I found some hot chocolate mix in the kitchen at work. I also have a toothbrush here.

This makes it all better.
