Hey, all. I forced myself to stay in bed after downing 2 benadryl and a large glass of wine, so i am actually up! At 1:30 pm!
GO TEAM WILLPOWER! FUCK CANCER!
Of course, I woke to find a wet sploosy hairball on my computer chair, and then, when I went into the kitchen to make coffee, there was an extremely LARGE, extremely LEGGY, extremely WAVY bug on the sliding door to the back porch where the trash is. I promptly shrieked and jumped back about 6 feet, like an alien cat thing.
I thwacked at the door with a kitchen towel, and it scuttled onto the porch, and I slammed the door, locking Arthur onto the porch, poor doggie, but I was hoping he'd earn his keep and kill it. I had to make coffee before I could deal.
I opened up the door, and let the dog in. I was all, Dude, sorry, you have to wait till Dan gets home to go outside (he gets home in 1/2 an hour) because I am NOT going on that porch to kill HUGE WAVY LEGGY bugs before coffee.
Getting up early is UNHEALTHY.
However, I am becoffeed now, and have been answering emails about my girly party/belated bachelorette party next weekend, and I am getting excited! It's been over a year since we've had a girly get away -- we're spending the weekend sans kids and husbands at my gf's house in the Ozarks.
They live out in the woods, and there's a little spring fed river we can hang at all day, and we're making jello shots, and grilling and hanging out, and making breakfast, and just hanging out, and partying and eating yummy food and being silly girls all weekend. I can't WAIT!
Getting up early is UNHEALTHY.
Truer words, my dear. Truer words.
I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow! Which is good, because I feel worse today than I did yesterday! If I have walking pneumonia, I am going to be SO MAD.
I don't blame you, Jilli. Walking pneumonia is a drag. I hope you just have a tough bug.
I think I am finally on the mend. So maybe these are just longer than usual bugs. Damn antibiotic everything making bugs with better defenses.
Hey, Jilli, I'm going through my makeup, and I have a whole container of MAC loose eyepowder in fuschia that I bought for a Halloween outfit, and I have used it twice.

It's a very pretty bright pink. You want?
I have an autographed copy of Something Wicked This Ways Comes but it is far from a first edition.
Jilli, whatever you have that's making you feel less than your best, I hope they figure it out, and get you fixed up quickly.
Bweeee! Erin, if you don't want it, I will happily give it a home.
I have an autographed copy of Something Wicked This Way Comes, too. It's the copy I won at my very first convention, when I was a week geekling of about 10. (My dad took my best friend and I to the con. We were in costume as researchers for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Yes, we had towels with us.)
So my copy has the movie poster cover (which is gorgeous), and Ray Bradbury signed it for me in 1997, when I met him at Dragon*Con. I also have a photo of him holding Clovis.
In 7th grade one morning, my friend and I were sitting side-by-side and reading before class. I was reading an Agatha Christie and she was reading Ray Bradbury. The teacher walked in front of us, pointed to our books and said, "wow! By the Pricking of my Thumbs, Something Wicked This Way Comes!" What's that called? Synchronicity? Serendipity?
Jilli, just shoot me your addy (profile email) and I will send it to you this weekend.
