I hate Allyson's boss a lot. I also hate the LAUSD for the entire paycheck debacle that Kat is feeling the consequences of now. I've been following that story with increasing anger since last spring, and I can't believe the level of ineptitude. I'm so sorry you're being so royally screwed over, Kat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Near that Oaxacan place we went one time? I think I know it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Now I want omakase.

At the Hump, so I can watch other people's dinners squirm.

And other people squirm at their dinners.

I think I may just have done a day's worth of work. Now to go home and see if I can get the headache gone without aid external to my home.

I have to say, dilaudid at home may be less stressful than ER dilaudid, but it's a thoroughly miserable experience even with anti-histamines.

I didn't expect it to be a perfect fix, but I am a little disappointed.

I may be seeing you, lisah. Hey, do they have dinosaur stickers?

I don't really know. I don't remember seeing any last time I was in.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Just looked more closely at some of my blood test results and at the Mayo Clinic info on hypothyroid. (I'm generally a bit leery of internet medical info, but I figure Mayo Clinic knows what they're talking about.) My cholesterol jumped over 100 points in the past year and a half. I'm already on cholesterol meds. The doctor I saw today glanced at my cholesterol test and told me I have to lower it. I said that that number is weird -- it's usually significantly lower. He shrugged it off.

Guess what one of the most common causes of a sudden jump in cholesterol is?

I am finally starting my Christmas cards. My goal is to get all the family ones done tonight and in the mail tomorrow.

Can I ask for some advice? I have been struck with a major Birthday cold. I had purchased ingredients for a fancy dish for a potluck tomorrow. Is there any to make said fancy dish without engaging in biological warfare? Or should I suck it up, and buy something instead of making the dish I was really looking forward to contributing?

I don't know, Typo, I cook for people when sick with colds all the time, and I don't think I've set off a major contagion yet. You wash you hands before handling food, right? And you won't sneeze on the food? And if it's cooked, even better.

Yeah, I'm really good about the handwashing, and of course would not sneeze on the food. That is really enough to be safe?
