And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Did you miss the part about not wanting to mess up my pedicure???
I know I'm insane. I just think it's funny that I'm not the only one.
Ok. Must sign off. They're pre-boarding. You crazy kids don't have too much fun without me!

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
So, reading through my email this morning I have to wonder...
Did the Hellmouth reopen in California?
Seriously, not good news. My brother could use some grow-up ma. And job-ma. Among other things. Also some be careful ma and self-esteem ma...
And then there's extended family getting a probably much needed divorce, but the way it blew up? Again I'm thinking hellmouth activity.
For all the other people whose bodies are betraying them, I hope health and relief returns quickly for you!
And in actual me news, I just signed up to the the Nation's Tri in September. Olympic Distance. Eep!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Go, d, go!
Go, Teh Ick, go! Make like a tree. Yeah, you heard me, get out of Hil, and everyone else who has it.
Hil, you'll have an easier time of keeping an electrolyte solution down than just plain water:
Also, this helps me, if you can manage it without choking or otherwise killing yourself, try holding a sip in your mouth until it warms up to body temperature before swallowing. I'm not sure if there is any scientific basis to this, but it sometimes seems very soothing to me when I do it. And at the very least it will help with dry mouth. ETA: also while you are at it, imagine that I said that in a non-bossy way, but posed it more as a possible suggestion.

Seriously, do ya bring a bathing suit to these things?
you can if you want to, but it's perfectly acceptable to go au naturel. In fact, you may not want to bring a bathing suit, if your bath has stuff in it (like oatmeal or herbs) or if you do mud. The first F2F, we went to the mud baths. I soaked with Betsy. Afterward, there was mud EV.RY.WHERE. We were in the shower just off the mud room, trying to be subtle. I finally said "look, we both have mud in unmentionable places. let's just turn our backs to each other and go for it" she said "oh, thank god"

Just heard on British radio that they are also hit with a plague of the ick, one of the most serious stomach virus outbreaks in a while. They are encouraging people to stay home as not to spread it.

TCG's stepmom just e-mailed me to tell me she had the stomach bug right after Christmas, so I guess it is going around here too.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Have a great trip, vw!
I saw someone getting on the bus yesterday wearing flip-flops, which baffled me, because I don't think any of the First Hill hospitals qualifies as a tropical destination. She didn't have a cute pedicure, either. Her feet were just very, VERY white. Like, scary bloodless white. Which is probably the natural state of bare feet when it's 40F and raining.
