I'm tired and happy to only have a little over an hour before I can go home. Also happy that after 4 days of none, I have hot water again.

I found this website today that I suspect will cost me an awful lot of money. [link]

Ok. This one I have to have. [link]

I just bought 20-hole Doc Martens off of Zappo's, specifically because they have steel toes. This is after spending a chunk at the motorcycle gear store (helmet & gloves) on Friday. I'll probably buy this jacket soon, too. All before owning a bike. This motorcycling thing = 'spensive. OTOH, staying in one piece = priceless.

Also, shopping! Fun!

I was thinking about the tradeoffs I've done lately - no theater, which saddens me, but then I get to travel and go to concerts and get a motorcycle and things I've wanted to do for years and have not been able to afford. I'm very lucky. Also possibly not coherent.

Kick ass!

Oooh. I just remembered I have a Luna bar in my purse. Yay healthy afternoon snack.

Hawt!

Which was an excellent call because I walked out with two new meds (allergy and then an allergy/asthma combo) and whoa, breathing is really, really awesome.

Excellent! Always a fan of the good meds. Got to take my first hit of Albuterol at a party last week when I started an allergy-driven asthma attack. I, too, am a big fan of the Breathing.

Ok. This one I have to have.

So. Cute.

Yes, please to remain in one (brilliant, awesome) piece. (Not to be a wet blanket on your good time - it's just I passed a motorcycle fatality on my way home a few weeks ago. He was apparently just driving too fast and lost control. I've been a little "Please be careful" to all motorcycle-driving friends and acquaintances since then. So, please be careful, while having your fun, HAWT time). KTHX.

Most definitely. Ze bike, she is to be respected. And I have a lot more practice to do. Thankfully, I also have a lot of people who are experienced and willing to coach me. Also, the school invites people to come use the side range and practice, which is nice.

Lots of business~ma to Maria's husband.

Argh. Someone remind me to quit trying to read every newspaper for news on Israel and Gaza. I know which papers will make me want to throw things. It is not good for my blood pressure to read them. Yet, I keep reading.

(Incidentally, anyone know why the British press seems to use "Palestinian" to mean "Israeli Arab"? It makes things very confusing to read.)
