I've had Thai that was so spicy (little did I know) that it felt like an explosion in my mouth.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

brenda, it's for when she wakes you up at 2 am instead of 5.
Unless it is a cat, in which case they just fuck with you. (I swear, MK alters his burrow in to me time at random. Yeah, he's old, but he's not senile. Just bored at 3 am so he sticks his paws into my neck then.)
More seriously, I have seen that in animals. It's hard to miss and heartbreaking and you know it when you see it.

Yeah, I can imagine. I get weirded out when she changes her tiniest habits, so yeah. But the phrasing or something totally threw me.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Brenda, Mac went senile her last few months. She'd get confused about where her food was, who we were and had daily accidents all over the house. A friend of ours medicated her elderly dog for "doggie Alzheimers" with some sort of anti-anxiety drug.
I saved us $75 tonight by pulling a dinosaur out of the toilet. They have these $2 zip cords at Lowes--flexible plastic strips with teeth on them. I used it to fish the thing out of the s-bend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think the moral is that I have to take anti-nausea medication twice a day, prophylactically. As well as anti-heartburn meds.
But today has been completely weirded out for me. I did work, I swear, it's just that the day doesn't feel linear.

Hmm... a non linear day would be too confusing for me.
Have any of you ever used BookMooch? [link] I have such a glut of books I don't want that need a new home. I'm thinking this is a doable solution.

Huh. I've never heard of BookMooch, but I may need to look into it next time I do a book purge.

Someone - Theodosia? - around here has talked that up.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I know we've had a contingent of BookCrossing fans, but I know less about BookMooch. Either one implies getting rid of books, which is one of those things that I know people do, and which might be a good idea, but...
