No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Our wings are not tired.

Speaking of packing, my boyfriend is moving across the country in 2.5 weeks. What's he doing in his 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo (that he plans to clean out and rent)? Going through each and every book to see what he can do without. He's been doing it for four days.

He so needs a MsBelle to help him.

The problem is he really, really doesn't want to move, so he is fighting it and struggling and it's awful. I've offered to help, and will, but he has to sort his own demons. Still, I found my new place and moved in three weeks, with a full-time job, so I know all that has to happen; it's a lot of work. And I'm mad organized compared to him. Last night I suggested that he just drive out and start his new job, and come back and deal with his place in January. I think the new job will kick him into gear, and he'll be much more energetic and focused in January. Besides, does anyone really move in Nov or Dec? I think his place will sit vacant those months anyway.

“Not dead yet!”

Back from doctor and clutching prescription for sweet, sweet narcotics that will hopefully help me sleep and keep me from turning into a monstrous hell beast. This sleeping on my back stuff is for the birds, man. Hate, hate, HULK SMASH hate it.

Barb, can't wait til you're feeling 100% again. Your body owes you!

“Not dead yet!”

Thanks, java. Funny this is, even with this minor blip going on, I feel so much better than I did at this time last year. It's kind of bewildering to understand just how bad I was feeling yet I didn't realize it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh, Barb, I hear ya. Before my hysterectomy, I was in pain every day, with really REALLY bad pain ten days a month, plus migraines several times a week. So nice to have that gone and, like you, I can't believe I lived with it for so long.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Morning, All.

I have no comment on home-births or adjustments to internal plumbing, but to hope for the best for each of us in our own circumstances. otn, glad you're both feeling better, Barb & Scrappy.

Lots of moving~ma to Shir & java-BF (and java, when she swoops in to help BF to deal).

Aims, I'm also a gradeho and also just got my first B (of my current University "career" - we won't speak of my early 20s, thankyew). A combo of a late assignment and an assignment where I think I just missed the gist of what she was looking for...Anyway, howsabout I promise not to beat myself up if you promise not to beat yourself up, K?

“Not dead yet!”

I don't need a new coat.

I don't need a new coat.

I especially don't need a new coat at this price, never mind that it's my favorite color combination and I'm actually moving somewhere I can wear it more than twice a year.

Oh, J. Peterman, why must you taunt me so with lovelies that I don't really need?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I am inordinately pleased when someone I have met and enjoyed friends me on Facebook.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Barb, here's one in a range of colors for less half that price and at a 64% discount from retail.

I am *totally* in enable mode today.

Excuse me, I have to go buy some tights.
