if you're good about doing address forwarding at the post office, it's not a huge deal for the mailer to do "address service requested" and get all those notices.

I moved to another country! And I never forwarded my mail from Michigan to New Orleans, or from New Orleans back to Michigan.

Alpen and Uncle Sam:

So the thing with the staying out late and subbing for a class at 9:30? Not well-considered. The thing where H says you haven't been drinking that much so you finish every drink on the table except the one of the woman that can take you? There are more useful points to make.

Still, level 2 will get all I've got. And then level 1. And then level 3. And then kettlebell?

OK, that's impressive.

The cat is currently sprawled out on the end table next to me, after leaving her hair all over the keyboard. How does she do that? It wasn't like she was rubbing her body on the keys--she just walked over it and shedded directly on it.

Thanks for the birthday happies. I made it through church without having to leave during a panic attack. I call that a win, thanks to my new best friend, Ativan. It was close for a moment, but a win's a win.

Kat, do you still have SARS Ebola Pneumonia Consumption Catarrh?

My college has found me, wherever I've gone, too. I don't think I've ever updated them. They even noted my name change.

Happy Birthday Cindy!

I feel all accomplished this morning since I got up early, drove to Harbor Town to fast-walk along the boardwalk for an hour, and found a station with gas for 9¢ a gallon less than everywhere else along my normal route. Where'd all this motivation stuff come from?

Happy Birthday Cindy!

That sounds like a really sound plan. How long before you move?

I take possession in 17 days and the movers move me in 24 days. I want to be mostly packed by the time I take possession so I can focus on painting and pulling up carpets while it's still empty.

I am such a lightweight. I am feeling a little rough around the edges after two shots of Pernod last night. I think the Scotches will have to be a shot a day.

Happy Birthday Cindy!

Gronk. I went back to sleep this morning after shooting up Ozzie for what I'm pretty sure was much too long.

Plus, the house elves didn't show up last night, and my apartment is still messy. WTF?

The only problem with this black bean soup is that I made it without a recipe, and once it's gone, I can never recreate it exactly the same.

And it's like black bean crack, people!
