Had an appointment to give blood this morning. Even though I'm much healthier than I was 6 months ago when last I tried, today my blood pressure was too high. Grump.

That reminds me--they're having a blood drive here at work today, but I'm on HBP meds, so I probably won't be able to give.

I'm not sure what the intent of that article is supposed to be, but the tone of "ZOMG! SIZE 12 WOMAN NOT A DISGUSTING PIG!" is typical of the NYT Style section.

That article also emphasized how sizes are kind of arbitrary. The model has a smaller waist than I do, and I wear a 6 (in things that sit on the hips, which everything does these days. I am narrow-hipped.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I told mac's therapist that we are moving, she's a little thrown by it, which ehn, I get, but really, I am giving you 6 months notice and she better than anyone knows the situation. I decided I had to tell her now because she was getting all up in my grill about feeling I had to get things done (like evaluations both she and his psychiatrist want done). And also I needed to shut her up basically telling me that I am a control freak. DUH! I am working on it, I know it is not good for mac. It is a fairly major large part of my personality.

Being raised by non-drinkers, I'm always a little baffled by people who want a bar in their office. The whole drinking culture is alien to me. I'll have a glass of wine with dinner maybe twice a year, and there's a bottle of cheap wine at home that I'll take a swig from occasionally, but I've never seen the point of drinking more than that. Of course, college students are not the best models of behavior.

I can't have a bar in the office. If I had a drink everytime I needed one in this office, I'd never get any work done.
