Tomorrow now begins with a visit to the vet and ends with a dental apppointment to get a crown replaced. In the middle is a meeting with an annoying client. It will be a tedious and expensive day.
Yeah, that sounds awesome.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I still can't say enough for the fresh fish we had in the little Baja town I stayed in. They were fresh-caught... as in, swimming around that morning, served for lunch.

good news/bad news front
Mac is self-aware enough to tell me he doesn't think he can be safe on the subway with the babysitter today, so I need to leave work early to get him for his Dr. appt./He doesn't think he can be safe with the babysitter!

That is good/bad news! And, I would guess, a necessary interim step.

Poor noodle.
I should mention that I will get reimbursed 80% of my crown up to $1000. And my dentist managed to preauthorize this dental work so that it will count on last year's insurance tally. So some of the expense will only be temporary.

Sue, your tomorrow sounds SUCKY.
We went on a huge group abalone dive once, everyone took their limit
-t, was this in California? I'm asking cause I remember hearing that abalone can only be taken by free diving and I think that it's cool.
and we prepared most of them the traditional way - sliced, tenderized, breaded, and pan-fried.
years ago, at a staff retreat in Santa Cruz, we had a donor to the school prepare us a meal that included panko encrusted abalone and wild mushrooms he had collected. Dear god, was that good.
I woke up with a full on cold. yay? This has been the vacation of sick and waiting for the plumber.

Hey, it's double digits! Balmy!
And the forecast for the week indicates that today's high may well be Tuesday night's low.
Woo hoo!

yay?
Boo!
I've been boiling water on the stove, and brought the hot pan into my bedroom last night, and I think it helped! I still slept like crap, but not because of a dry throat and stopped up nose, anyway...

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
My dad hunted birds when I was growing up, so I ate pheasant, quail, duck, and goose. All of which he shot. I've eaten a lot of fish that either I or someone in my family has caught. But, unlike Ginger, I never cleaned fish.
My mother taught me a very important lesson when I was about 10 or 11: if there is something you don't want to do, never learn how to do it and you will never have to. This was taught to me in the context of cleaning fish (which my mom has never learned to do) and I carried over into other areas of my life.
I could be up for Chicago dinner week. Keep me in the loop for plans. I'm currently working in Niles and still live in Aurora, so a place with parking would be lovely.
