I third that.

My landlord is showing the apartment in 15 minutes so I had to get up early. And its a mess. And I want coffee.

Grumble grumble.

I'm kind of dreading going in to work today. I had to give a document to the pickiest, most demanding, and almost highest ranking of our people yesterday. She's the type who'll find something wrong even in something that's damn near perfect, and I'm really afraid this isn't close to that. Could be unpleasant.

Me too, Nora, me too.

Dude! And it's not even 6am for you! 6am my time, I was not even awake enough to be annoyed.

Sore throat on one side sounds like either strep or some other sort of tonsilitis. My recommendation (based on no medical degree, but something like three bouts of tonsillitis in the past year) would be gargle with salt water, drink hot tea with honey, get some of those Halls cough drops with the throat-numbing stuff, and get thee to a doctor if it doesn't get better in a day or two.

is it wrong that I wish I could be sick for the rest of the week and sit around my new house loafing and watching TV?

True, but I have the option of going back to bed, or trying to at least.

No. I want to do that, and I don't even have a new house.

Landlord never showed up. Good! Now, I drink coffee and watch Family Guy while I do laundry.

Last night I went to LLBean and got a travel towel. Thus, I know where my towel is, and must clearly be ready.

Much ~ma to your family, askye. My great grandmother developed Alzheimer's after she'd been living in nursing homes for years, so we didn't have that drama to contend with (it was well extablished by then that she was happier and more independent at the home than she was living with my grandmother), but having your loved ones not remember you or other people is incredibly hard to deal with. I was lucky, she always knew me as someone she was happy to see if not as myself, but other family members were not so fortunate. I hope asshat uncle and any other non-helping relatives get smacked with a cluestick and do what's right.

Yay Annabel with the communication and Mariner recognizing!

So far from wrong it doesn't even know what wrong looks like anymore.

Lilty's totally a hoopy frood.

Nora should totally call in sick for the rest of the week. Sounds like a wonderful plan to me.

Poor meara with her sore throat! I hate that.

I need to get my butt in gear and get out of the house. I need to get to the hospital and meet with financial services about getting MassHealth. I'm dreading it, so I'm moving slowly. This is not really effective.

Your Red Sox love is so pure. A-Rod mockage is great sport in our home. You'd like it here.

Hee. We need to watch a game together sometime.

Had craptastic afternoon at work. Literally was yelling with coworker who is not really expendable to the company. But, damn, he is just a jack ass and I hit my limit.

{{{Cass}}}

{{{meara}}} I hope your throat feels better soon. Also, don't explode.

Sigh. All the Bath and Body Works I went to had left on close out was the Chocolate Fondue perfume, at least of the stuff I was looking for. So I got two bottles.

Plei, were you looking for something else? I could check the stores here for you.'

I hope today stops sucking for everyone soon.

Not wrong.
