You poor thing. I hope he chills soon.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

Somehow I woke up this morning looking like death warmed over despite 9 1/2 hours of sleep. Felt OK though, so I think it was residual signs of weekend headaches.
Stopped by the rib joint next to my pharmacy just before closing time tonight and lucked into a full rack of ribs for half rack price.

“Not dead yet!”
Dang, I was hungry before. Now I'm drooling. Maybe I can blame it on the dog.

Mmmm... ribs.
I am obsessed with food right now. I want nuthin' but everything I shouldn't have.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can it be Thursday yet? My shoulder kills. I really want this nerve-destroying procedure done ASAP.

Because books.
Poor msbelle. I hope you get some good rest tonight. And mac probably held it in all day, you know? Which doesn't make it easier to deal with, but I bet the noodle was worried.
ita, were able to reschedule everything today? Car trouble is always so unexpected and infuriating.

I cabbed it to my doctor's appointments, but still have to do the banking and groceries.
I just can't face taking the car getting and getting the bill, ya know?

Because books.
Oh, I totally know. Sorry, babe. Glad you made it to your appointments, though.
I hesitate to endorse a fast-forward to Thursday, though, mostly because I have to have a big copyedit done by then, and it's not looking good.

ita, I'm so not mechanical but do the lights/wipers work? If they don't it may just be the battery. Or the connection to the battery.
My car mysteriously wouldn't start one morning, and I tried the headlights and hazards and nothing worked. I got out to go upstairs and call the office, and when I slammed the door shut the hazard lights came on. Wuh? I got in again and the car started just fine, so I gingerly drove to the shop and described what happened with a lot of "I know this sounds crazy, but I swear..." They determined that the connection to the battery was lose, but slamming the door had jiggled it back into place. Further validation for my belief that thumping things will make them work!
So: annoying, but not as annoying (or expensive) as a new starter would be. I hope it's something like that.

Here's hoping it's just something jiggered loose!
You know, I suppose a 30kg koala could be considered HYUUUGE compared to a modern one, but still that wouldn't be considered a large dog! So I look askance at the classification as megafauna.
Health-ma to my Mom seems to be helping, some, though mainly that may be to a) getting a comprehensive diagnosis which explains all her various maladies and b) getting a diuretic that should take care of much of the retained fluid that caused the maladies.
Probably not much can be done about the cause, which is regurgitant heart murmurs, but the symptoms can be managed. :: crosses fingers ::
