Sorry to be such a total whiner, but I've got to drive back to Los Angeles in a few minutes and I'm so sick and tired of either driving or living out of a suitcase. I've been essentially living out of a suitcase since the F2F.

She said he was magnetic as hell and very, very good in bed.

mrowr.

What did we do before iTunes?

Srsly. The agony of listening to an entire countdown for just one song, or hearing something in a tv show and not being able to just Google the lyrics...

Honey, you're allowed to not only whine, but rail at the fates, the heavens and any other damned thing. If I haven't mentioned it lately, you're one of my heroes, just for how well you've been holding it together.

Yeah, no kidding. I'm sure I was a rather vibrant shade of green.

Drew, whine away! I don't know how you're doing it all. Really.

The University of Wisconsin called today. They can get Owen into their Autism Clinic for evaluation next Tuesday instead of OCTOBER as they were originally going to schedule. But C can't get the day off and I'm scrambling to find a babysitter for Liv.

And the insurance company called for further underwriting questions about my history of mental health.

Feh.

I am amazed to find that hiking socks are making my blisters a non-issue. Seriously I have huge blisters on the backs of both heels and I don't even feel them. My feet are sore in general just from the abuse of suddenly doing way more walking than they are used to and my back is sore from carrying my docs and a much heavier than it needs to be leather organizer yesterday.

I recall hearing that if you want to lose weight you should work out every other day, that if you work out every day you'll bulk up. I doubt the amount of walking I'm doing (especially since I've wimped out and am taking the bus for the long leg of my trek) is going to make me bulk up but I do wonder: how long does it generally take after you start a new "work out" (gah I feel like such a wimp for finding walking so taxing) to stop feeling sore all the time?

Mucho ~ma for your dad, Calli.

I'm out of a job as of Friday. I can play tour director, if needed.

copious amounts of Dad~ma to you, Calli

Laga, once your blisters heal, you might want to look into blister block, by band-aid. It was great for preventing blisters when I started running, although you're not supposed to use it once the blisters are there. (Which makes me wonder, how do you know where to use it? I got blisters, waited for them to heal, and then started slathering the trouble spots.)

And thank you all for the ~ma.
