My onerous task for today was to take down all my decorations and get them in my storage closet. And, I did! Yay me!
I was going to do it yesterday but woke up with a migraine that made me want to puke when I stood up for more than 30 seconds.
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

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?

Now tagless for your comfort.
My onerous task for tomorrow is cleaning out my closet.

Good idea or crack idea?
VERY VERY GOOD.
I have done almost none of the onerous tasks on my to-do list. Bleargh.
I should stick in my earbuds and go file something.

David: good idea!
My onerous tasks:
1) 6 months' worth of flex reimbursements that include two MRIs (head and knee) and knee surgery
2) Pay those medical bills (yikes!)
3) Clean house in prep for leaving town
4) Cut tail holes in a zillion diapers in prep for leaving town for my wonderful dogsitters
5) Call middle brother and update him on everything in NY.
6) Do monthly report from December (WTF. I totally thought I did that.)

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
The suspicious activity? Charitable donations to Doctors Without Borders and the Trevor Project. Either my bank is a scrooge, or they think I am.
When my credit card # was stolen somehow, the first "test" purchase they made with it was a donation to an non-profit animal charity.
Got a call back from the doctor. He's on vacation all of January but they can get me in to see another doctor while I'm up in SF.
On the suckage side, not only is East Bay Waltz happening the same night I'm performing, but my brother B is visiting from Hawaii and asked my mom if I would like to go out to lunch with him. So I'll be in SF while he's visiting in LA, apparently. Boo.

Liese, I have another box of more decorations in the same color scheme. I am mailing them to you because I can't stand the thought of tossing them.
Onerous task: get Noah ready for school. Also, onerous task: getting him to be calm and not cry. Non-onerous task: driving away to go to yoga.
Onerous task now? Grading the last 10 papers.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
washed dishes, swept most of driveway, moved 6 bags of leaves from garage to curb for trash pick-up, folded more (but not all of the) clothes.
ended up getting 5 things in the mail: 2 books that sold on amazon, a poster to my brother, my bb and accessories to ex-job, and a gift to a friend. YAY!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday, shrift! Hope the rest of the day goes better for you.

4) Cut tail holes in a zillion diapers in prep for leaving town for my wonderful dogsitters
I totally thought this sentence was going to end like: Cut tails hole sin a zillion diapers for my neighbor's mutant hellspawn children.
Or something. Not to impugn your neighbors.
Acting quickly on the "good idea" votes I can say already that the filling is pretty freakin' tasty.
I used both ginger juice and chopped up ickle bits of TJ's uncrystallized candied ginger. Sweetened with brown sugar and some raspberry liqueur.
