I think the quotes around flexibility utterly skeeve me out.

Huh. We just had an earthquake.

Which I didn't feel, but my cat did, since she woke me up at 4:40, meowing at full blast. I thought she was just being a brat (she had already woken me up an hour or so earlier, trying to paw through my jewelry box), so I bitched her out and rolled over to go back to sleep. When my alarm went off at 6:15, the first thing the radio news talked about was the earthquake and what time it happened, so I apologized for being mean and not freaking out with her.

I'm so mad! When I woke up all over the radio it was "OMGWTF Earthquake!" and people apparently felt it as far away as Ohio and I didn't feel one little shake.

Darn that living on the first floor and sleeping on a low bed.

mac tested positive for strep. mac also has gotten sick 3 out of 4 times after taking amoxicilian, so I need to callt he Dr. for a new med. his throat does not hurt anymore so naturally he just doesn't want to take any medicine.

ION, first iced hazelnut coffee of the season. mmmmmmm.

OMGWTF Earthquake!

New Madrid! New Madrid!!

Yikes. I found out recently that scarlet fever, which used to be portrayed as this terrible, awful, many-months-convalescence disease? Where you have to burn all your toys and bedclothes, even your beloved Velveteen Rabbit? (Except if the Rabbit has a fairy godmother, but you don't know about that part.) That scarlet fever is just strep throat gone slightly haywire, and the many months of convalescence were more likely to be many months recovering from whatever awful "cure" medicines they gave you.

We heard about the earthquake on the radio on the way into work. Some of my co-workers claimed it woke them up.

To this event I can only say "Oh HAHA California, VERY FUNNY!"

I happened to be awake when the earthquake happened (I was in bed, almost asleep). It felt like my bed was shaking, except I have my futon on the floor. It also sorta' felt like when you go to bed really drunk and it feels like your bed is spinning, except it just felt like it was moving side to side. Then I head my bookshelf squeaking, as it was rocking back and forth, and I figured it out. I was mostly annoyed - I didn't want my building to shake like that!

My can seemed concerned but not freaked out.

DH is the same! And me for erythromycin - much more common though. I know there's something they give instead...

Here - so far so good... she's definitely peppier. I'm waiting until the noon temperature before I actually hope we're through this and/or start believing the doc may actually have been telling the truth.

coffee - for an amused/confused

I'm so glad I got a minute in front of a computer today, Pessakh and all, because, according to the Buffista Calnedar, today is beth's birthday.

Happy birthday, beth! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Also, a good minimally-stressed Pessakh, for those who celebrate it, and a great day-before-weekend, and weekend, of course, for simply everybody, with birthdays or holidays, or without.

OK, it's time to check my cake again - my mom worked her oven too much, so the cake only had a place on top, which almost burned her upper crust, and left her middle a bit too liquid-y. I'm trying to fix that - wish me luck!
