Today was rough. Called my reporter at 3, when I hadn't yet seen his story for the Education section front, only to find out that he didn't HAVE a story for tomorrow's paper, so I had to improvise with a wire story to beat my 5 o'clock press deadline … Got told by the school that my daughter couldn't pick up her graduation announcements & other supplies because they show we still owe $168 -- that I PAID back in JANUARY … Our entertainment editor is on furlough this week, so I'm scrambling to cover his pages, and I'm just not any good at figuring out how he organizes his stuff from the wire services … I was, like, an hour late picking up my kids, because I just can't get away from work on time … So, you know, it was just one of those days. But I'm home now. My family took care of dinner and gave me something soothing to drink -- so it's good to be home. 🙂
