A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

This fucker better not last 16 days! I usually cycle through a cold in a week, with some minor residuals for a little longer.

So TJs looks like a bomb went off on Sunday nights. Were out of some of my stuff. Hmph. But I have tomato soup and hot cider now. And blessed, blessed clementines. Pretty much all I've eaten all day.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

It's been a while since I've had a bug linger this long. I think it's more than just a cold, although I keep referring to it as a cold. Considering the doctor gave me antibiotics because of my cough/chest symptoms, maybe I should call this a respiratory infection.

I just call it shitty.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ugh, Kat. I hope the ick is transitory.

No gumbo for me.

United Airways sucks. Again with no seat assignments, just attempts to upsell me actual legroom or priority boarding. The overselling of seats and attempts to squeeze more money out of everyone are heinous.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have bright red toenails, Cowboys win, and now Iron Chef special. Whee!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This made me CRAZY last time I flew with them.

Yay for msbelle's Sunday!

Add me to the list of sicklings. Just a cold, but my lungs are so congested it's like breathing through a wet, wool blanket.

I've made a big pot of Jack Devine stew, and a pot of the veggie chili for JZ and we're getting prepped for Matilda's first day of pre-school and Emmett's return to school after vacation.

I have to rouse them both and get them out of the house by 7am tomorrow, drive Emmett to school, then turn around and commute back across the Bay Bridge, find parking and get Matilda to school. Where I will spend the first day with her.

It's actually good I spend the first day there since JZ will be doing almost all the dropoff and pickup henceforth - it being at her workplace.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Does anyone know if you can substitute a white sauce for cream of mushrrom canned soup in a casserole recipe? I am assuming yes, as I do it for tuna casserole and everything works out.

ETA: I hope everyone gets better soon!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't see why not, Sophia.

My ears are so blocked, I don't even know.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I would assume that would work, Sophia, as long as the water content was similar.

I feel kind of silly watching the Iron Chef special while eating spaghetti with jarred sauce.

hip deep in pie

On the sick front, my throat pustules have almost completely disappeared. I think it was my rigorous gargling

Steph, what you have sounds a lot like what I had that hit me when I was in NY. I was convinced while I was sick it was just a cold, but since then I'm thinking it was H1N1.
