Sparky, I love the Thank Dog model and wish I could find a training partner here to do it. I suppose I should get working on that. My 'bottom line', pun absolutely intended, could really use it. Bartleby is in fine shape, but I'm heavier than ever.
It's such a great thing for pets and their people to socialize and actually have a job.
Stardate 01.13.11, 11:15, Phlegm Galaxy: Mucus storms continue unabated, and something seems to be sapping the ship's power supply. The Lymphnodia Nebulae appear swollen and strangely solid. We've restricted the crew to essential functions only in the hopes of making it out of here, but every advance seems to be countered with a setback. Captain's log, signing off.
Thankfully, main computer systems appear unaffected.
Even in illness, CLEVER.
smonster, I can highly recommend the Puffs with Vicks tissues. They are awesome, so comforting and not as slippery as the Puffs with lotion. Vicks isn't a smell I would automatically say I like, but the tissues actually smell a lot more like Olbas oil (which I also HIGHLY recommend...it's at your healthfood store), which is less chemically than Vicks.
Clear and open airways ~ma to you.
I was trying to find a clip from Doctor Who on the importance of tea but I'm on my parents' computer and it's too slow so I gave up.
But tea is important. It like, saves the universe or something.
Seska, you're not spamming.
I am dressed. This is a major accomplishment, spurred by a cable appointment. Speaking of... Dear Cable Dude - looking me up and down repeatedly while stating your disbelief that I'm a carpenter may have been intended as a compliment, but I did not appreciate it.
I also got really ambitious and emptied the dishwasher. Now I'm tired again.
I'm drinking tea right now AIFG.
Well, actually, it's gone cold. I should put the kettle back on.
I, too, am drinking tea right now. Or rather, have tea and had a sip and am waiting for it to cool a little so it doesn't burn me. But you know what I mean.
It like, saves the universe or something.
It saves mine...regularly.
Favorite teas:
Earl Grey, Cinnamon Apple Spice (Celestial Seasonings), Good Earth Green with lemongrass, TJ's Green with Blueberries, and Health King "Stamina."
I have an entire cupboard (3 shelves) completely stuffed with teas...some of them pretty out there...but, the above are my staples.
Tea is soothing; I wish to be tense.

Tea: TJ's Pomegranate white tea something, Green, and a local tea/coffee shop's Green Jasmine blend.
We just (after becoming good friends with Javachik's, plus using one for a month in NZ) bought an electric kettle and wOMG do I love it.
ION - still tired, still in the sleep-drought (4 hours last night is NOT enough), but no longer waking thinking that I'm on a plane/in a hotel. Yes, it is taking a long time to bounce back. Yes, I'm annoyed.
