Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Euagh!! That last thing really would freak me out, Hec!!

I have acquired mucinex and cough drops and tea and honey, and comfort food (mac and cheese, at the moment....may try and get pho later). Want crazy feeling in my chest to go away.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Euagh!! That last thing really would freak me out, Hec!!

We had the landlady set traps a month or so ago and they went away for a while but now they're back and getting bolder.

So I'm hobbling down to the hardware store to get some sticky traps. (Can't really have snappy traps in the same house with a toddler and frankly I don't like to hear that sound going off in the night.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Man, this has been hands-down the worst cold and flu season I can remember. Between having my own personal germ factory (thanks, daycare!) and the flu shot having missed a strain, I've been sick almost every weekend since the fall.

Today the plague has moved decidedly into my chest. I want it to LEAVE.

Art Crawl!!!

Yikes!

At least you've got the popcorn.

I opened a couple of windows - to get a nice crossbreeze and it's much, much better. (I also opened the back door - it leads to a common stairwell, and I hope that is also helping.)

I'm hoping it will clear out enough that it won't be nasty when it gets cooler after sundown.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I bought a quart of chicken soup from a deli on Tuesday. It's been in the fridge since then. Think it's still good?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's still good, Aurelia. Get better!

I've been sick almost every weekend since the fall.

That's what it was like for Emmett's toddler years. And then he changed daycares and we got a whole new germ pool.

On the plus side, I hardly ever get sick because I've gotten just about every freakin' minor cold you can have if you live in NorCal. JZ and Emmett have both gotten much more sick from Matilda than I have this last year. Emmett's missed more school days this year than he's ever missed before, though some were unrelated to Matilda. (Like his earache.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I like to pop my corn in olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. I skimped and bought the store-brand bag of popcorn kernels last time. Boy was that a mistake. I've never seen such teensy popcorn!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Laura Linney is HOTT.

Now tagless for your comfort.

DAMN! I forgot to add HBO to our pay channels!! I need to call immediately so I can catch the rerun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
