Sympathies again on the wobbly feeling -- it's really unpleasant. Also, a suggestion -- S and I both keep peanuts in our bags at all times. A handful or two is essential for forgot-to-eat days, as well as the times when we get through a hard workout with no problem but need a protein shot to see clearly on the drive home.
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oops. I have a lot of electronics piling up to toss. I've been assuming it's not okay to just dump a busted printer/DVD player/computer/shredder--am I being over cautious?
Um, Franny's school is going to sponsor a day where folks can drop off old electronics for recycling. If you're interested, I can look up the date for you. Jan 30th I think, but I'm not sure.
If the Goodwill near me doesn't take them, Burrell, I'll totally do that.
SuziQ, I also kept Ensure around for days like that. Other kravvers preferred Muscle Milk, but I can't do the artificial sweeteners.
Why am I watching creepy show on Chiller before bed?
What running has brought me: sport beans (jelly beans) and margarita-flavored clif shot bloks (salty gummies). I recommend them for snacking too!
In an effort to avoid opening the box of Candy cane jo jos I have in my kitchen, I've been eating random other things I have in my apartment right now. Because I am going out of town soon, the pickings are somewhat slim, and it turns out that light string cheese and edamame really don't go together all that well.
My tree is finally up and all my ornaments are on! I just pitched out all my filler cheap-and-tacky-looking balls that were just on the tree to fill up the holes and took forever to put on and take off. I decided to just leave the backside of the tree, the part that faces the balcony door, mostly blank and put all my nice ornaments on the part that I look at. I even managed to get the ribbon wrapped around it for garland.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to go tree shopping the week after Christmas to finally get a prelit tree that's a bit smaller and doesn't take over an entire side of the living room. If I can get one for under $50, I'll be happy. I can also use a tree skirt, since the one my sister sent me years ago is sized for a 3- or 4-foot tree, and mine is 6 feet and really wide. Even the replacement tree won't be small enough for that tree skirt.
Timelies all!
Work is open, but I am staying home and recuperating.
I am awake AND at home. I have gift wrapping to do. YAY gifts! But I also want to go to yoga (SUPER YAY YOGA!) and pack clothes because we are headed to San Diego for a night tomorrow.
YAY! Congrats Gloomcookie and Welcome to Shane!
Welcome, Shane!! So fun.
In theory, I am working today. Yeah, we'll see....
