brrrrrrrr

I had to choose between buying new shoes and a new coat with my birthday money. I guess it's time to pull out the crappy old coat.

I spent my day in Peter Pan chaos. I have such a wierd job.

Definitely talented, Jenp.

Definitely weird, Aurelia.

I ate vegan tonight. As opposed to eating a vegan, which I'd highly recommend if your plane crashes in the Andes. Less gamey than the alternatives.

Not something I was especially up to, having spent all day horizontal with a migraine, but I was lured into it by not having to drive.

I have an issue (a beef?) with having "orange chicken" or "pepper steak" on a vegan menu. Free yourself from the oppression of the meat eaters and use your own terms. The "orange chicken"? Tasty. Just not chicken. So don't call it that.

The worst part of what I ate was the pancake with margarine smothered on. It was the margarine. Next time, no.

Wishing good thoughts for you, msbelle.

Now to evaluate my TV options. I took an Ambien to get to sleep despite the pain last night, and I deleted stuff off my TiVo that I have no recollection of watching. That shit is dangerous.

The veg "meat food" bugs me as well. I even eat some of them happily and by choice, but as a separate and different foodstuff (animal?) altogether.

Now to evaluate my TV options. I took an Ambien to get to sleep despite the pain last night, and I deleted stuff off my TiVo that I have no recollection of watching. That shit is dangerous.

It's Ambien roulette. Usually you just sleep. Sometimes you clean, so yay the bonus clean house when you wake up. And sometimes? The tv forgets too. That option sucks.

---

I've never cleaned on Ambien. Usually it's random posting on the Internet (so now I have rules), unremembered crazy phone calls (problem is, I can't train myself not to answer it), and TiVo deleting. Taking the pill and going straight to bed helps with #1 and #3, although now I have a laptop in bed, #1 is in jeopardy.

Easiest to avoid the Ambien altogether.

Yep, done all of those. Weirdest was calling a friend at work and talking to his coworker for a really long time when the friend wasn't there. I try to remember to put the phone away from me and back away from the internets. Also to watch shows that I am only meh about if I really feel I must watch tv.

But leave Ambien? Nope. We've a deep and meaningful relationship and he gets me over that bitch, Insomnia, when we hang out together.

Gotta say though, of all the unremembered stuff? Waking up to a clean house with no recall of sweating and fumes? Kinda cool. I even do floors sometimes. Like having split personalities with a House Elf.

eta: Which is not to say, if you can sleep without it? Kick it to the curb in general. An unpredictable drug is better left alone if you can.

Right after I take it, I get deeply philosophical about the implications of solely being, without remembering. Now, I may come to some great conclusions about it, but who'd know?

Usually I have no problem sleeping, especially on these meds. But I was trying to avoid taking a muscle relaxant (eases the pain and knocks me out, but there's a hangover to think of) last night, since I'd had one the night before, but the bedtime pain was still bad.

Today my problem is having spent most of the day in bed. But I made it to kettlebell, which expended some energy, and then let myself be dragged to the vegan restaurannt.

Not quite sleepy yet, but I can feel myself winding down. Time to check the laptop and see which TV shows are available to me in bed.

Can I tag the question bit, Cash? "Aren't all chaps assless? Otherwise, wouldn't they be pants?"

Liese, sorry I went to bed! Please feel free to tag away.

GRONK.

Daylight Savings my ass. I don't feel like I'm saving anything.

Babies on Baby Time?

I'm at work, yo. Should actually, um, do some.

Wow, I feel safer under Republican rule. Don't you? [link]
