And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

I feel vomity. I probably should eat something so I can take my antibiotic.

I don't drink grapefruit juice. When people ask why, they seem to think I'm overreacting, but I'm glad Steph's post confirms that they are wrongity-wrong-wrong-WRONG.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

ita, have you ever tried nail gelatin? Takes a while to work but I've got super-thin nails and it has worked for me in the past.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I may try that, Spidra. My nails are ridiculously fragile, and I can't stop fidgeting with them. They're not thin, but they're really flexible. Back when I had horrible indigestion and knocked back Tums like nobody's business, they were the toughest they'd ever been. But the calcium supplements don't seem to be emulating that.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

So to add to my body aches, I got a flu AND tetnis shot at the dr. I like the dr., so that's good.

I am already in bed listening to the game and I can barely keep my eyes open. Note to self, 4 straight hours of heavy yardwork is too much.

‎3 months, 2.75 gallons of stripper, 4 boxes of latex glove, 5 pair heavy duty rubber gloves, at least 5 packages of plastic sheeting, 3 rolls of paper towels (I think,) 3 rolls of masking tape, tweaked tendons, countless ruined manicures, a lot of swear words..and 80 years worth of paint. Gone. [link]

Plenty more work to do. Sanding, a different kind of stripper to do a wipe to prep the surface and get anything left behind, stain removers.... and then I can think about stain and paint and sealant....goes on and on.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Pretty awesome, sarameg.

Wow, sarameg, what a lot of work.

80 fucking years of paint. Damn, man. Take a drink and kick back.
