I just found a rewards card I thought I'd lost. It still has $60 on it.
Off to Zappos.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I propped up my porch again. At least with the termite treatment over, I can hire professionals to build me a new one.

I lost almost all of today to rampant napping, which I apparently needed far more than going to see a new movie. Also, after lunch I went to Pier One and despite forgetting my gift card yet again bought what may be the most comfortable throw pillow in the history of the universe.
Why is it I only ever think of going to the local Italian restaurant on Saturday night when it's most expensive? Any other night I can get a 3-course meal for $22 or less.

For the same reason I decided a dinner of balsamic on greens and a ginger-soy tuna steak was the only thing I wanted when vinegar always makes my jaw muscles tweak and I already had a tweaking muscle. Humans are strange.
And now I literally have a KNOT at the corner of my jaw. It is kind of freaking me out. Going to apply some heat, then ice.
Humans are strange.

I was at a festival of world cultures in my town today. Or Festival of World Cultures, depending on how you look at it, I guess. 100,000 people, apparently, which is a lot where I'm from. Lots of good acts, much dancing, but I couldn't get into my local. Which is less fun. Went to a friend's new place for wine instead. We could still hear music from the main stage, which was nice. I should probably got to bed now.
Edited because I may be slightly tipsy.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I tried to nap. It should have happened. It didn't.
It's a sad day when you're too tired to sleep.

Oh, fuck me. According to the Weather Channel, the three-hour drive from New Orleans to Jackson could take 24 hours.
That's just fear-mongering, right? Even the Weather Channel needs ratings?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I-55 is supposed to be 4 lanes north-bound all the way to Brookhaven MS already. Did the Weather Channel factor that in?

More that they fear-monger and create a panic. And they're only talking about interstates; I'm willing to bet the sideroads and alternate routes will be fine.
Case in point: Co-worker went to son's wedding last year in New Orleans. Hurricane bears down, they evacuate city, wedding moved to Baton Rouge. Co-worker told, "Don't use I-10, it'll be way too crowded. Bet you'll get there faster on US 90." Co-worker uses 90 and is in Baton Rouge and has no problems with traffic.
I'm willing to bet it'll be the same situation this time around, too.

Supposedly. Apparently they made it to Baton Rouge in good time, so I'm hoping they beat the craziness.

Yeah, and my dad is pretty familiar with highways and has an excellent sense of direction. I'm just freaking out about it because I need something to freak out about, and the traffic is the closest target.
