I would rather sleep in longer than catch up the internet. I know, it's crazy.

I am totally with you. I have to leave home at 6:30. I'm gonna sleep as much as I can.

hivemind - anyone know anything about Working America - the non-union part of the AFL/CIO? - if I am reading things right, it is free to be a member and they offer a health savings program (not insurance, but might help).

This is why I am not sure that catching a ride with TeaParty!cow-orker is better or worse.

With TeaParty!Cow-orker, I leave my house at 7:08, and am at work by 7:40 (with walkig from parking lot), but at 7:08 I not only have to be ready, but ready to chit chat.

If I take the bus, I have to be on the bus at 6:40 to be there at 8:00, but I can totally catch up with the internet/drink coffee for 1 hour while on the bus.

There are guys who choose to spend a long time grooming, and women who choose not to, and yet are magically unshunned. The standards are different, but if Jilli can accomplish what she does in what time it takes her, I have no sympathy for the blogger. She's chosen extreme measures, and she sucks at them. Two strikes, you're out.

Sleeping in is one of the reasons why I no longer have Big Deathrock Hair. Backcombing and application of AquaNet takes longer than you might think.

I just got my hair chopped on Tuesday. It'd been four months since my last cut, and my "bangs" had reached my bottom lip. My next-cubicle neighbor kept on giving me doubletakes all day Wednesday.

I had my ultrasound and upper endoscopy today. The first was fine, but the second had the problem of them not giving me the "twilight sleep" knockout meds to fully relax me, due to my apnea. All they did was spray the back of my throat with some heavy duty novacaine and then gave me 1 mg of Verso to relax me, but I didn't feel any different, so that was a waste. I did not like the feel of that thing when it went down my throat and then again when it came back up. Ugh. The doctor did do the whole procedure very quickly, even with taking a few biopsies of some small ulcers I apparently have (just so she could see what's causing them). At least that's over with.

First thing tomorrow, I'm calling the bariatric surgeon liaison and seeing if I can finally get this thing scheduled! Keeping my fingers crossed we can get it done Thanksgiving week.

Wishing you scheduling luck!

This time tomorrow night, I will have stripped the last spindle. Then I have to learn new skills.

And spindle stripper is not a euphemism for pole dancer, no matter how it sounds.

Just saw the weather forecast. Snow possible on Monday.

For once, though, I think I'm ready to cope.

*I* am not ready to cope. My vicarious winter anxiety is getting started.

Vancouver! Don't snow!
