I got things off my procrastination list today! I got a pair of boots repaired, used a four-year-old Crate & Barrel gift certificate (cashier: "I didn't know we issued gift certificates anymore"), took care of a six-months-overdue personal appointment, and I might have time to make some chicken stock.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I went to my bedroom to read a little, and ended up napping for two hours. WTF? I am seriously not a napper. I must actually still be fighting this stupid cold, more than I would have thought.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
She has a nasty almost-psychic trait I've grown to hate ever since, the morning after I lost my virginity, she called to ask how I was doing and if any of my friends had done anything special for me the day before.::blink::

I had a visit from the Welcome Wagon today. Of course they arrived when I was mid-nap and my place was in shambles (even by my very low standards). I felt the very proper welcome wagon lady looking askance at the crap everywhere.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That is the best (most awful!) story ever, ita! What in the world did you say to her? I would have mumbled and and stammered and probably confessed.
That's classic, Sue. Welcome Wagon ladies should allow a decent interval!
Jesse, colds will take it out of you. Mine sucks because it doesn't feel that bad, actually, until I try to do anything. And then I feel completely drained and need to lie down for a very long time indeed. But the SO is coming home today, so if he's not too bad sick himself, it should get a little easier. But I've been okay if I manage my energy. I can do stuff, just only in short bursts, and only during the middle of the day. Or the middle of the night, apparently.

I think that's a rule of Welcome Wagons.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. Chicago has beaten out LA to be the US candidate for the 2016 Olympics. Now we apparently go up against:
Madrid, Prague, Rome, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Madrid, Prague, Rome, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo.
Since it's in Asia in 2008, and Europe in 2012, I think Chicago has a decent shot!

I think that Rio has a better one, although it'll suffer from the same southern hemisphere issues that Sydney had in 2000.
I would love to see it here, though--I was listening to the announcement on the radio while I was driving back from my swim, and threw my hands up in the air in celebration when they said, "Chicago."

Well, I have been in the hosue two weeks. I'm just working slowly. And naturally messy.
My mom has a similar kind of ESP to ita's. Except that she called out of the blue the day after the first time I tried drugs, "wondering what I'd been doing with myself."
