I am wondering if I am going to ever get past the mmrffle stage today. DH says it is a step up from gronk because it is two syllables, but I'm not sure. I think mmrffle is gronk's sleepy cousin.

I am SO in the mmrffle stage. I cannot wake up, despite great lashings of coffee, and my brain feels like it's slowly collapsing in on itself, like a flan in a cupboard.

This, in the face of a spectacularly filthy apartment that needs to be cleaned and dinner made and myself un-dirtified before 7 p.m., which is the time I told people to come over for game night.

I am INSANE.

Raq, I'm not sure where all you would want to shop for it, but here is a Froogle listing of the name brand, Mucinex - [link] . It shows Walgreens.com, and I got their store brand. I believe that Drugstore.com would also have it. Hope that helps.

ETA: hit post too soon. Much ~ma for your Grandma, Nora. And car~ma for you.

Nora, do you feel like a jerk b/c your mom thinks that you "should" go to the hospital?

Yes. But I may be projecting. You know how it is.

But it doesn't sound life-threatening, and you aren't begging off visiting so that you and Tom can snort cocaine of the asses of the hookers you invited over for the orgy tonight, you know?

Well, it wouldn't be a problem if a substantial deposit wasn't involved.

I've said too much.

But for reals, Tom and I have been wrestling with helplessness WRT other family members to a fairly high stress point so I think I'm having a hard time judging what's appropriate. I think my expectations are higher than anyone else's, this time.

In better news, we are kicking some serious organizational ass now that we have our guest suite area back! We still have a long way to go, but hey, we aren't going anywhere...

I hope your gram is okay, Nora.

thanks for all the ~ma, guys. I really do believe it helps. (don't tell Tom.)

Nora, much health to your grandmother, and some perspective for your mom, and peace for you.

And the hairy eyeball to your jerkface car.

What Cindy said. Also, {{{Nora}}}

I slept in until 11am, which is unheard of for me. Ahhhhhhhhhh. So nice.

now that we have our guest suite area back!

Woo! That was an invitation, right?

thanks for all the ~ma, guys. I really do believe it helps.

I'm convinced it does. Sends some more Grandma~ma.

{{{Nora}}} Tons of ~ma to your grandmother.

Apparently looking at the condo was enough of a success that the potential buyers want to see our gas bills and our electric bills for the last three months. Frell.

Woo! That was an invitation, right?

Sure! If you don't mind sleeping on all the crap we need to sort through!

(I swear, we are terrible at filing.)

In exciting news, I now have my own desk with its own computer!
