So I think my brain is returning to normal after all the stress of moving. I actually feel kinda' relaxed this morning, for the first time in I don't know how long - a week?

When I get a sec. I should post the Story of the Febreze, the Oatmeal and the Kitchen Sink....

Last night I managed to finally put my Xmas decorations away.

Just discovered that they do clothing recycling pick-up in my nabe every Sunday morning - and it is only 2 blocks from me. If I hustle tonight I should be able to gather up another bagful for that of stuff that is not re-saleable.

There is some smoke in my office this morning, apparently because of construction outside. Two different people asked my pregnant coworker if she needed to go home. I need to go home! Not because of the smoke, but still...

I need to go home! You need to go home! Everyone needs to go home! It's anarchy!

It is anarchy.

Do you ever think that cooking shows would be better with a dash of Bollywood?

Behold, Kuchh Kook Hota Hai. I've watched Chicken Hariyali and Chocolate Pastry. They're pretty awesome.

Go home! Go home! My boss is taking today off, so I have to go to work, but everyone else, go home!

I was surprised to find out at the height of the 30s Dust Bowl, dust storms ran all the way to NY/NJ.

The man who was in charge of soil conservation and trying to get Congress to pay attention to the Dust Bowl's problems was testifying to the House while the dust from the biggest "black blizzard" was sweeping towards Washington, DC. An aide whispered in his ear that the cloud was visible on the western horizon and should be passing over the Capitol soon. As the windows grew dark and the Congressmen could see the dust flying past, he said, "Gentlemen, there goes Oklahoma."

He got the money he was asking for the next day.

I say go home

OMG! going home would be awesome! I am cranked up with energy (no idea why) and would much rather deal with my life stuff than invoices.

proof: just called and got info on the afterschool program I think we are going to try.
