Hey, I feel you. I was excited when I tried to eat some rice. I did it in the bathroom just so I wouldn't have to run.

iz tireds.

d when are you coming today? 3?

I'm riveted by the cracker nosh and post. Hoping hard for a non-event Steph. May every manner of calm descend on your tum.

I nearly called in wimpy this morning. But. I'm committed to coming into my friend's office and getting stuff done that I can't/don't do at home. Which, of course, is why I'm hanging with y'all this am.

But, still. Fortitude was shown. At least to the degree that I called friend to casually find out shifty eyes and scuffing foot when she was coming in.

God bless her, she picked me up and had even turned the bun warmer on for my seat. Have I mentioned what a great friend she is and how I love that particular technology?

Yeah buddy.

Thinking warm thoughts to Aims.

Teppy, feel better.

IOmeN I got a whole 7 hours of sleep last night. I dreamed I was shopping for winter coats, and while carrying my packages out to my car, I kept hearing a small kitten meowing for help. It was a fluffy little orange tabby. So it makes me wonder if my subconscious incorporated Sammie's actual begging me to get up to feed her, and reconnected with the old image of her being lost and alone in a big world when she was a kitten.

Bonny, I'm glad for you that you have such supportive friends. Water seeks its own level.

Bun warmer, huh? I think many of us need this advanced technology. In fact, that may be a new item for me to add to the "When I win the Lottery" list of things to buy.

I bought my mom a heated seat cover for her car - it wasn't that much $-wise and she LOVES it. Just don't leave it plugged in overnight.

Ahahaha! I'm not eating the crackers in the bathroom (because it's COLD in there), but I know exactly how many steps it takes me to get there.

But so far, so good w/r/t Project: Eat Crackers '09.

My car had heated seats built in. I bought it used, or I would never have paid for the upgrade to do that but now I don't think I'll ever buy a car without it. So amazing. (And not just in cold weather - if you do any distance driving or have back issues, it helps so much in keeping your muscles from tightening up while you drive.)

Also fun to leave it on and not tell passengers about it the first time.

~ma to your aunt, Vortex.

What a crap evening, Tep! Glad you're doing better.

I dropped Casper off to be fixed and I'm irrationally worried about it. Please let it go off without a hitch. I have a co-worker who lost a kitten when he took it in to be fixed so I think that's why it gets to me.

It's Friday and BSG premieres tonight! Woot!

Also fun to leave it on and not tell passengers about it the first time.

The first time someone did that to me I thought for a second that I'd peed myself.
