"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

So when I feel cold, it means my body is trying to have a fever, right?

Your body is also warmer when compared with the ambient temperature.

As a veteran of many respiratory infections, my rule of thumb for going to the doctor is if I'm coughing up opaque greenish stuff (secondary bacterial lung infection); my face hurts and it hurts to touch my sinuses (secondary bacterial sinus infection); or I have an earache (secondary bacterial ear infection). Even if it's something that doesn't need an antibiotic, if it's hard to breathe or you're coughing too much to sleep, you can get drugs to feel better.

I usually turn to a stiff drink and a lot of blankets.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Huh. I don't lock my doors except when I go to sleep or leave. But there's literally only one other person on my street, and maybe a good dozen within a mile. A home intruder would have to go pretty far out of his way.

Am I being naive?

Probably am, huh. That sounds like stuff people would say on "It Takes a Thief" that I would mock.

Feel bette tommyot.

Yeah, Bette won't mind.

Order some hot and sour soup delivered to your door, tom. That's why you live in a big city.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, Bette won't mind.

Heh. I missed that until Hec's post. And then I thought about Betty Paige, who had a heart attack today.....

Anyway, I'm going to attempt sleep again. Thanks y'all....

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I love "Republicans for Voldemort"

I have that bumper sticker. I love it, too.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Am I being naive?

Probably am, huh.

Probably. sorry. My parents' home was in a slightly more populated area, but still fairly isolated, and we got our car stolen from out of our driveway one night. That was the year we put actual locks on the doors.

G'night, tommyrot. Hope you feel better when you wake up.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I don't lock my door when we're at home either. Not until I go to sleep. And I live in a suburban street surrounded by ghetto.

Huh.

I'm making holiday cookies following the ATK recipe. But I have no jam to make sandwiches. So, instead, I just boiled and sugared down some frozen apricots and I'll use that instead. this is for the stay-at-home mom group cookie exchange so no matter what I do it will be a fail.

So friend didn't get the arts job. But she's psyched for pursuing similar and is looking into writing a state bill for child mental health. So, that's good. She's written bills before and gotten them passed.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Great. Now I can't remember if I locked my front door before we left Wisconsin.

Need to text the person picking up my mail to make sure that's done tomorrow.
