From Pharyngula - home of the Friday Cephalopod:
As everyone knows (or should know), October is the month named in honor of the octopus, and we're supposed to celebrate cephalopods every day. It culminates in the great festival of Octoween, when all the good children who keep molluscs in their heart are rewarded with sushi, while all the wicked children who think eight or ten arms are too many get surprised by tentacles rising up from the ground to snatch them away to a pelagic doom.
Whoever carved this is going to get a whole bucket of tako.

I'm very fond of that blog in all its scienceyness!
We have homemade bread, Brach's assorted choco covered malted milk balls, almonds and toffee in the office. I'm eating bread and chocolate and drinking coffee and I'm still feeling tired, sore and a little bit crabby.
Friday is on notice. I was on my way to meet a friend for a playdate. It's cold, gray and rainy. Guess who got a flat tire? With two kids in the van. Fucking fuck.
I managed to find the jack, free the temporary spare and to start jacking up the van by the time DH could get out of work and get there. It's a good thing he came because he had trouble with the lug nuts so there's no way I'd have had the strength to loosen them. Feh.
Van's in the garage, tire's in the back of DH's truck and he'll take it to get fixed after work. Liv's napping and Owen and I are snuggling on the sofa with tea and animal crackers.
What a PITA, Cash. Sorry.

I've got to say, that's some extra-strength cranky to hold on through all that.
Slee-ee-py. Want to go home and slee-eep. Then play with the new drive on my computer and fill it up with goodies. And slee-eep. But Hubby's got the car so I might as well prop up my eyelids and do something I get paid for.
Bread and chocolate. Mmmm...I need some of that.
Does Triple A change flat tires? I'm wondering if I need a membership. We have emergency towing through out insurance company, but they don't mess with flat tires.
ita, I'm sorry about all of the meds. I keep hoping they'll find a magic bullet, but it's a PITA to get there.
bows in the face of sumi's crankiness
Ooooof, Cash. Do you have any wine? It's totally 5 o'clock somewhere....

Yes.
AAA is very worth it imho. Plus discounts on things like movie tickets, etc.
