I really should be in bed. I have packed my lunch for tomorrow and gotten a week's worth of vitamins ready to take to work. I am hyper and exhausted at the same time.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My wee little bungalow house, at something around 1100 square feet, has four smoke detectors. I've a fondness for candles that makes them prudent.
The kitchen one (previously linkied) is the most twitchy, but given my post-Christmas Fire of Negligence, I'd rather it were too sensitive than not enough. But it is located where I can jump and reach it without a stepstool since it goes off every few weeks when I am cooking.

I would be pleased if you did.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Vacation highlights: Buying my nephew a play shopping cart and filling it up with toys and letting him zooooom all over the mall.

The GA clip show was weird.
Oh, thank goodness it was a clip show. I leaned back on my couch at 5pm and had an unplanned 6 hour nap today. Glad to see I missed nothing new.
I'm now faced with the dilemma of being hungry, having no appetizing food in the house, and not being in the mood for microwave burritos from the 24-hour convenience store.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Terry Kinney from OZ, Aurelia? Cause I like McManus...hell, I am a total windmill tilting McManus. Except for I've never been laid during a hostage situation.
Yep. But I haven't seen Oz, so I don't know anything about that character. He's directing the show I'm working on.
My smoke detector goes off if I take a hot shower.
Mine too. I really need to move it to a less steamy position and put another battery in it.

There are more expensive smoke detectors that can be easily turned off by pushing a large "panic button" with the end of a broom handle. I'd rather a couple false alarms than a real fire that goes unattended.
(Four smoke alarms for a four-room place is not overkill. Smoke travels along the ceiling, so if you've got door frames between the alarms and the fire -- let alone closed doors -- it may take a while for an alarm to sound -- precious minutes where a small fire could be beaten down or the fire department could be called, et cetera.)
Ah, my first post on fire alarm safety of the year! My roommate's mother died in a house fire, and if she'd only had working safety alarms it might not have been that way.

I have packed my lunch for tomorrow and gotten a week's worth of vitamins ready to take to work.
Sue, this is weird because I put all my vitamins in one of those day of the week/time of day pill cases last night and I'm going to try to start taking them again every day so I can maybe get some energy. I'm also going to try to exercise a bit every day and see if that energizes me.
