Today and tomorrow are all about that.

I have about 5 months worth of sick days, so I should take a good look at the work calendar and figure out a good time for me to get the closet-flu, but I've got a work-ethic-progamming block about calling in sick when I'm not. (Thanks, Mom!)

Betsy, can you have your doctor call in one pill to a nearby pharmacy? Or ask the nearby pharmacy to talk to YOUR pharmacy? I've had luck with pharmacists pitching in in such situations.

Fab, y'all, two advantages of the three million there are(No, three, sometimes I get an AB's spot in line, which totally makes up for a lifetime of oppression. Thanks.)

Just go to Disneyland EVERY DAY. Then you are the line-cuttin' queen of the world.

5 months worth of sick days

part of what sick days can and should be used for is mental health. I'm not big on that if I don't have a bunch, but it can revitalize your work attitude. changeing home from chaos to calm - also revitalizing.

No-migraine~ma to Betsy.

{{MG}} Eat your spinach!

Actually *don't* eat spinach. It will inhibit absorption of iron. [link]

No-migrain~ma to BHP.

Adding to the no-migraine vibes for Betsy.

Laura, those are some awesome boys you have there. It was so strange when they began to get taller than me. Even stranger was the voice change.

Spidra - thanks for the link on spinich - I had been planning on upping that.

Clams, oysters, and mussels are much more do-able than liver. I may give pumpkin seeds a try - I love sunflower seeds (yeah, that baseball fever thing). Love beans and lentils too....

Mmmm spinach! I think I'll have a spinach salad for lunch.

To Betsy's migraine - Get Out! Get Out! Get Out!

Thanks Beverly. The voice change snuck up on me. It must have been gradual because I didn't so much notice it happening until it was changed. I want to keep Bobby shorter than me and keep his little boy voice. Can I do that?

Oh! Brendon Jr. and I went to hear a Zen speaker last night. He has developed an interest in this because of Phil Jackson. The speaker was Peter Matthiessen. He was quite an interesting speaker. He said that he has recently "disrobed" and is no longer a Zen teacher. He cited his anger over our current administration's policies for this departure. He felt it was inappropriate for a teacher to have such rage. His discussion was related more to environmental and war issues than Zen. Brendon found it all fascinating and is up for trying a meditation session next. Whee.

It's a self-defence mechanism that 'ffista sprog adopt in order to spare themselves net-wide anecdotal embarassment.

Laura, tape his voice now. I neglected to do that, and I've regretted I didn't.

I don't think you can keep him shorter, either. The brick on the head trick didn't work--or he just wouldn't wear it.

Heh. StE's voice changed in a week. He was singing soprano on Beach Boys tunes in the back seat on the way to the lake, and trying to find the baritone line on the way home. Freaky.
