grr. So I am fairly certainly sick. My lymph nodes are swollen and tender. Bastards. I am going to drink tons of water and limit my activities today.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
badness, msbelle. I suggest some rest, plus lots of tea and chicken soup.
Okay the sleeping family lasted all of, oh, 10 minutes. Now everyone is awake. ha!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Poor sick msbelle! I would listen to Burrell.
I am a shredding madwoman! I really have serious paper management issues, but I have made a SERIOUS dent.

now is when I need a wife. right? I will make some tea. chicken soup nsm, doesn't sound appealing. I feel 8 different kinds of bloated and over full.
I think today is the day I get through the remaining Eyes eps.

I've been to yoga class and shopped at Target without buying everything in sight (had to get cat litter, only impulse-purchased a pretty toilet paper holder) and had some lunch, too. Soon I will sort through bills and mail and stuff that's piled up.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm going to see Nanny McPhee with a friend and her two kids during the Superbowl today. I have a huge uncritical love on for British Children's Lit. (and the movies that go with them) so I am anticipating a fun afternoon!

The computer pick-up has been delayed. poop. Nothing could be done, the taker could not secure a ride, and no way a single person is gonna deal with this on the subways with several transfers.
OH! Also? I am a big dope. My house is not 64 degrees, it is 68. The unlabeled mark btw 60 and 80 is 70, not 65. That is much more reasonable, but I shouldn't be cold in that w/o a blanket/cardigan. Off to find thermometer again.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Feel better, msbelle, and get better, too!
Yay, Jesse! on the shredding. I think DH took about six grocery bags of shredded paper out of here a few weeks ago--he spent a whole day shredding two years' worth of stuff. I don't think he's going to hoard paper that long anymore. Plus, he shredded a lot of cc offers and things without opening them, because we have a machine that will do computer discs and unopened mail, ccs, etc. But really, if you open stuff and take out the single piece of paper that contains name, address, account numbers, etc., the rest can be recycled immediately, and leave you with much less volume to shred.
I think we have varying shredding styles. Not that I want to call any other than my own (perfect one) "wrong," you understand.

Almost everything I shredded was credit card offers and balance transfer checks. Sick.
I did my homework! Phew. Now maybe dishes, but now I'm sucked into The Truth About Cats and Dogs on the tv.

If one has a fear of heights and/or ladders, one should probably not seek employment as a theatrical electrician. Just a thought.
And yet, I still work in electric all the time. And I still go up the ladder or up the scaffold all the time, despite how queasy I get. I never sweat half as much from physical labor as I do from working up in the grid in some precarious position.
