woooooo hooooo.... the painkillers are starting to work. I Feels goooood. Whyever would I have put off taking drugs just because I had to drive soomewhere?

Fortunately there's an Indian fabric store right next door to my favorite thrift store. I can probably find something to match the beautiful purple, blue and gold fabric I intend to borrow.

I will make very sure to keep me nethers out of the x-rated, no matter how many safety pins have to be deployed. I'll be trying to make a good impression, you see, because the bride is DH's work associate.

Something hurts along the back of my jawline, but I can't tell if it's sinus pressure or the other top wisdom tooth coming in. I hope it's sinus pressure -- that can go away with just medicine and time.

Hey Hil, thanks for the rec on the Tofurkey italian sausage. Way better than the Morningstar. I had it tonight with pasta and a quick thrown-together tomato sauce. Yum.

{{Katie}} Take care of yourself.

Today was a varied day. Brandy slipped and fell in the pool. I didn't see it happen, but I'm certain she didn't go in on purpose because the top of her head was wet and she doesn't go under when she goes in on her own. And she has never gone in except to play with us. B Jr. has strep, as does his GF. Ah, young love. Poor kid was 102.7 with seriously yucky throat. At least a doc friend responded to my text and called in a script for me. The good stuff was finishing my Christmas tree which looks quite lovely. And made yummy stir fry dinner after doing my dishes. I cook often, but I am not very good about dishes.

I think it is time for wine.

Cool. The Tofurky brats are also really good. Made with actual beer.

I feel like any time I post is complaining stuff or health stuff. But some work~ma would be appreciated muchly. I'm really behind on something and I keep putting it off and I need to not do that.

Doctor's appointment went well, the doctor is referring me to a urologist, I'm supposed to hear from them about an appointment. So that will mean more tests but hopefully something.

I have one, but I don'ty wear it cause it comes untied.

!, Katerina. I hate accidents. Keep safe ~ma.

libkitty, gazillions of keepingittogether~ma. And I'm so, so sorry, but I think that what you're doing for the bride is wonderful. {{{}}}

In other, better news: cancelled dentist appointment (on their behalf) remind me that today starts an awesome series of lectures in HUJI, on happiness in different religions: Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Druze.

I'm happy for the opportunity to go there.

Much getting better and car~ma for you, Katie Bee.

Much work~ma for you, askye.

Andi, it sounds like you did totally the right thing regarding contacting the supervisor. Good on ya, and I hope that situation calms down asap.

Other, saner coworkers think it is pointless to talk to the D's supervisor about the crappy things that she does, because he has as of yet taken no action that involved more than jaw-flapping. I am of the opinion that if each and every one of us who observe D being unprofessional in some way tell him, eventually he will get sick of having such an unprofessional, potentially abusive twit doing that job. Also, if everyone tells him stuff, it will look less like any given one of us has a personal grudge against her. I, myself, have found myself saying less to him about D than I might have wanted, as I had applied for the job, when they hired her instead.
