I need to Netflix the last 2 seasons of Ugly Betty immediately. An employee is threatening to ruin the series finale for me.

You can safely skip ahead to this season.

Woah, msbelle. That can't be fun, but it does sound like progress.

I think allergies are messing with my sense of taste. Everything tastes off. Everything except chocolate.

What Sue and everyone else has said, msbelle. Much good-breakthrough~ma to you and mac.

I'm on the phone with VirginMobile, whose on-hold music is annoyingly hip and has a transmission problem. Good thing with having problems ordering a replacement phone online is that ordering it on the phone means that they'll take the cost of the phone and car charger from my large balance (I never use the thing, but my current phone is falling apart, so I have to replace it) instead of my debit card. The new phone will have a phone on it, which is what I want, so maybe I'll start using it more.

Oh, new Who is something I'm looking forward to!

Oh, wow, msbelle, that's huge. Strength to you!

I am all packed and ready to leave for my BOW workshop tomorrow. I have to wake up to leave at, like 6 am, because it's five hours away and they want us checking in at 10-12. And then I handle firearms later that day! Somehow I am worried this is not the best idea! Heh. I cannot wait.

And Dave & roomie are having the band leader over to rehearse stuff for his upcoming album, so they'll be having fun by themselves, too.

Oh! And heart news at the cardiologist was good today; looks like maybe it's just electrolytes? And dietary supplements and more veggies might fix it? Which is in line with it starting out when he was working out so much. So he's got a thyroid test he can do if the supplements don't work, but fingers crossed that it's just a bunch of vitamins and not thousands of dollars worth of tests.

So yay for healthier SO, because I was about to freak out about leaving him for three days while he was having heart problems.

Okay! Gotta eat and head off to rehearsal; I'm running sound tonight even though I won't be performing this weekend.

Good news, Liese! I hope it's the electrolytes and easily managed. Have fun shooting things and whatnot!

I wish I had something comforting to say, msbelle. That sounds very hard but inevitable and necessary. I hope the roughness is not too long-lasting.

New Who is something I forgot I was looking forward to.

Good news, Liese! I hope it is that.

It was 20 years ago today... that Twin Peaks premiered.

Yikes.

Yay Liese!

msbelle, I am constantly amazed by your strength and patience.

Cultural event I'm looking forward to: David Tennant's Hamlet will be on PBS sometime this month.

Right! Must look up and set dvr.

Whoa. Rain just came out of nowhere. Like, it went from dry and stifling hot to pouring and cool in about a minute.
