I am off for a canoe ride

Oh fun!

Morning, bitches!

OK, um, AFTERNOON. Whatever. I have no idea why I couldn't get out of bed this morning, but I just wouldn't. Stayed in bed for a good 12 hours. Good grief.

But now I have coffee. And a doughnut. Hmm. Possibly not the breakfast of champions. Am still feeling oddly woozy.

Raq, is the book swap at the old place or the new one?

now I have coffee

And you're one up on me. Somehow the words "coffee" and "still" on two separate lines got mushed together in my brain so that, for a moment, I thought I read, "now I have a stiffee". I need to go find some caffeine now.

Mornin'. Need coffee.

Why don't more of these Christian movements look to Creation for their lifestyle choices?

The lack of monogamy?

Him: my head aches Me: Did you take anything? Him: No, my head aches Me: Did you eat anything? Him: No, my head aches. Me: Do you want a cold compress? Him: No, my head aches. Me: then suffer, I have stuff to do.

Hey, I've lived with that person. His most annoying bad-patient trait was to contend that he was well but everything around him was screwed up. Him: "It's too hot in here." Me: "You have a fever." Him: "No, I'm fine. It's just too hot in here." An hour would pass. Him: "It's too cold in here." Fill in with "too bright," "this food is terrible," etc. Lather, rinse, repeat.

When I'm sick, I want everyone to leave me alone. Ideally, there would be some sort of mechanism that would automatically deliver soup and ice cream without my having to do anything. I am crabby with anyone who keeps checking on me and particularly crabby with people who decide to stop by and "help." I will only reluctantly accept help when the doctor requires it. They won't let you drive yourself home after surgery.

d, I hope that with a diagnosis they can treat your father pretty quickly and let him go home. By this time, I would have pissed off every human being who worked in the hospital and probably some delivery people and passers-by. I'm sure he's nicer than I am.

In preparation to moving next month, I've been cleaning out closets. Please tell me this will make packing and moving easier because I really do not like cleaning closets.

ChiKat: cleaning your closets does make packing and moving easier: The more stuff you trash/donate the less you have to move!

It totally helps, ChiKat. And is somethign I should totally be doing myself, this afternoon.

Moving is good incentive for closet and drawer cleaning. Sometimes, there comes a time that it needs to be done even if you're not moving--like when you've been in your house 21 years and you're running out of space to store the books, CDs, and many other things you accumulate. I'm also cleaning and rearranging bookshelves and deciding which books to store and keep and which books to give away. Then I have to actually get them out of the house.

I'm also being forced to empty all knick-knacks and breakables from my living room and dining room in preparation for floor replacement. I'm finding all sorts of things that I thought had been missing for years.

ChiKat, it does really help, especially if you are ruthless in what you decide to get rid of.
