Ours is "dress appropriately" which is a little vague.

Well, yes. If everyone knew how to dress appropriately, we'd not need a dress code to begin with, sillyheads.

I would worry more about my cat in the heat if he seemed to appreciate the air conditioning when I have it on in the bed room -- he leaves to go back out into the heat! Nutter.

Tonight Dylan and I made strawberry cheesecake ice cream - heavy cream + sugar + strawberry jelly + cream cheese. And then for good measure we swirled in some chocolate sauce while it was freezing.

Holy crap, that sounds awesome.

Cats were domesticated in Egypt, right? I'd guess they're built to handle heat pretty well.

My boss just wondered if he put his foot in his mouth calling me and the male developer "guys."

I'd rather have that than "ladies", which is what my boss uses since she is often addressing only women.

Stupid generations of northern europeans!!

went back out to get boxes from a nearby friend. still nasty gross and my shoes STINK. ugh. smelly nasty day. I did finish off a couple of small boxes that had wee bits of empty space at the top, got them full, taped, and labeled.

I think my goal for tonight will be to: finish the box with hardware stuff, finish the box of pantry stuff, and pack everything out of my closets or two medium boxes whichever is more. Then if that is done before 11, list more things on ebay.

There"s a huge bump on my leg, the size of a silver dollar. It's sticking out more than half an inch. am icing it now.

I don`t find a noticeable mineral taste to my fizzy water added to juice. You fizz the water, not the juice itself, so you might want to make juice from concentrate and use less water, then you can add the fizz. We significantly reduced our recycling, because the SO drinks a lot of pop. It is only somewhat less than buying soda because you do have to continue to buy the flavoring. Technically you can buy the actual Coke syrups, but I have yet to try that, mostly because I`ve been happy with the Sodastream ones. There are also energy drinks and flavored water things like lemon.

I would be more worried about my cat having no appetite if I had an appetite. I had seriously eaten toast for 2 days. Of course, I wanted lunch at work because it was air conditioned, and now I feel like crap (possibly cafeteria veal parmesan for $3.00 is not the wisest choice).

Also, if any of the pharm buffistas are around, I ended up getting a different generic Celexa (40mg) this time (there was a note to tell me it was the same medicine). I am noticing a HUGE difference in how my body processes it, and it seems to work MUCH MUCH better. In fact, I had no idea how badly the other one was working until this one. It seems to be related to the time it takes to get through my body- the other generic had me having withdrawal symptoms an hour or two before the next dose. Anyway, is there any way to request a specific generic? Does this make any logical sense?

on the bright side, kitty is much less lethargic - almost normal. she even met me at the door and was thinking of making a run for it
