"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

New laundry appliances will be fun, -t. (As much as I put off my laundry, I have no cred in saying I want new machines, but, shiny!)

The job I applied for wanted everything in email, and didn't list a phone number. I know I can find it easily enough, but would it be wise to assume they wouldn't appriciate a "I'm just checking to see if you recieved my resume and cover letter" call?

don't call, Lilty, but drop them a follow up email about 2 days after you emailed the cover letter and resume.

When did you apply, Lilty?

It's ridiculous how much I'm looking forward to having my very own washing machine. Have I raved yet about how great it is to have a dishwasher? I haven't washed anything by hand in two weeks. Awesome. You go 7 years without a dishwasher, you appreciate the hell out of it when you get one.

One of these days I'll get one of those life things the kids are all so crazy about. Meanwhile, appliances will have to do.

I sent it the day before yesterday. I'm just impatient, because I haven't gotten that feeling in my gut yet where all at once I just know I won't get it.

ETA: Man, would I love me a dishwasher. I just got those Dawn Wash 'n' Toss cloths, and I think those are the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Wait till tomorrow if you can stand it. It's a holiday week, they're probably moving slow.

(eta: that should really be an adverb, shouldn't it? And yet, I don't want to change it.)

askye, project~ma.

Lilty, what Nora said.

Well, I started this post like 20 minutes ago. I suppose there have been a bunch of posts since then. Work is getting in the way of my posting. Damn!

No coffee spillage yet. I wore a black skirt, just in case, though. And the coffee is almost gone. Looks like we're on track for a good day.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

OK, I made the big mistake of looking up a mild but annoying symptom I've been having off and on since Tuesday afternoon on Yahoo Health just before I went to bed last night, and now I've added full-on health panic to everything I was going through last night.

The symptom in question is a tingling, occasionally slightly numb sensation in the face, but without any loss of mobility. Despite the absence of any other symptoms, I'm in panic mode that it's either MS or brain cancer, because I can't seem to find anything less frightening that leads to facial tingling of this type. My doctor's office doesn't open for another 45 minutes.

Talk me down?

Susan, DEFINITELY call the doctor, but don't self-diagnose. It's worth getting checked out, so you're doing the right thing. Try to accept that you cannot do anything until you get ahold of the doctor's office, and that you will be fine until then. Stay focused in the moment...don't think ahead. Just get through each moment until you can call the doctor.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Susan, drink a large glass of milk. That can sometimes happen if calcium levels drop a lot.
