\pə-'rem(p)-t(ə-)rē\ adj *1: barring a right of action, debate, or delay 2: expressive of urgency or command 3: marked by arrogant self-assurance : haughty *The manager’s peremptory rejection of any discussion on improving office efficiency did little to inspire our confidence in his ability.

Yeah, I guess. Crazy morning here and I have a horrible cold. I went to bed at 8:30 last night. I can’t remember the last time I did that.

My youngest had it about a week ago and I blame the bad knee keeping me from jogging for making me susceptible. I know it doesn’t make sense but I’m cranky and illogical about missing my runs.
