Hey, all.

Ugh, Tep. That sounds awful. But I figured it was an ear infection -- the vertigo-level sounds like my grandma's.

I slept last night. Yay! Because I went to my mom and dad's and my dad gave me some of his. I finally got completely unable to handle the time-flippiness. I went to my girlfriend's house Sat. night for booze and bitterness with the girls...I'd finally fallen asleep at 11 a.m., slept on and off till 6 pm, and it was just TOO weird. I basically got up, got dressed, got coffee, and then at about 8 a.m. body-time, started having wine. Then everyone was outta there at about midnight, and I went home ( I didn't drink that much, it just was too weird for me) and read a book till 8 a.m.

Then I filled up the cat bowls, changed the litter and drove to St. Joe. I took a back road, and it was a gorgeous late night (body), early morning (RT) drive. I then proceded to stay up as long as I could (21 hours, btw, and I was slapppppp-happppppy) and then took a nap (4 hours). Woke up, ate, read and talked a little and took 2 Ambien at midnight and FUCKING slept 12 hours in which I didn't wake myself up at all.

It was bliss.

And then I woke up, and argued with my polically-wavering family about the election, and then we all shut up and I kicked everyone's ass at JEopardy. They gave me some fish, and I am home. Yay!.

And I didn't get that sexual assault outreach job. BOO!

But I have decided to substitute teach while I job search. I figure if I work both sides of the state line I can gig every day I want. Maybe get a long-term sub position. I'd be super in-demand, being certfied, and I'm going to spend the $50 and get my certification in Kansas, too. They just need a reciprocal test, but I got a fucking 100% on the English PRAXIS, so I'm all "Hey, here's my PERFECT test results and my 4 years and my multiple degrees...and oh, the $50. GIMME!"

So, I have some drugs, and a plan, man.

Life is good.

benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

My mom has that; I would have preferred to not inherit it, damn it.

I do also have an exceedingly full feeling in one ear, and my doctor said he suspects infection, plus the eardrum was in a strange position; concave, I think.

On the other hand, if I have canaliths roaming free, I'd prefer to get them back where they need to be.

Could it be both?

Poking head into Bitches to wish Sail a very happy birthday!

t not here

I have my grammar book! Thank you, Cathy!

Happy birthday Sail!

Happy Birthday, Sail!!!

Happy Birthday, Sail!!!!

Anyone here ever pick up Lawler's® Cheesecake Miniatures Variety - 63 ct?

Someone at work had a box of these in the freezer.

$13.87 at Sams Club. I wonder if any of the Super Wal-Marts carry them?

Hmmm, we have the biggest Super Wal-Mart in the state, so....

Happy Birthday, Sail!

85% is too dark for me. Once you pass 70%, my bitter-receptors start objecting.

90% causes me to muahahahahaahahahah.

There is a Stephen Crane poem that puts me in mind of how I feel about really, really dark chocolate:

..."It is bitter -- bitter," he answered;

"But I like it

Because it is bitter,

And because it is my heart."
