Much ~ma for Kate. I had a weird lymph node thing when I was much younger, and it was impossible to think of anything else. And they never found anything, and it just eventually went away.

Yay Dana's DH!

Sorry about the bleaching convo.

It's Shrift's birthday?

Happy Birthday!!

Timelies all!

Congrats to Jessica and family!

Yay Dana's DH!

That's great, Dana!

I'm home and full of shrimp goyza. Mmmmmm, pan-fried dumplings. On the down side, my back's been sore the last few days. On the up side, I've been working out the last week or so and trying to stretch more, and I'm feeling a bit more flexible. It's probably my back saying, "Hey, wait, we need to do that? I thought we stopped bending that way years ago."

Yay for Dana's DH's job and for Kathy's awesome health!

that makes as much sense as vajazzling

You know, the terminology befuddles me here. The vagina is the canal, and surely women aren't gluing/otherwise affixing bling to the INSIDE of their birth canal. Surely the term should be "vulvajazzling." t /Sheldon

ION, I have seriously started a document on my computer called "Missing the Obvious." It should be shameful how often I miss things that are patently obvious to most rational people, except I do it so often that it's funny. I have always said that I am book-smart but SO not common sense-smart. t /also Sheldon

So the first entry in the "Missing the Obvious" document is this: we have lots of rubber mats on the kitchen floor, because we keep the dalmatian in there when we're not home and she has a tendency to pee/poop in there. The rubber mats make it easy to clean up.

So when I got home today, she had peed A LOT, and I grabbed the mop to just mop it all up. Tim came home and asked, "Did you mop UNDER the mats, where they overlap/join together?"

It didn't even occur to me that dog pee would trickle through the gaps and onto the floor beneath. Not for a second.

Great news, Kathy!

Aeryn is adorable! Yay babies!

So far the New Year Resolution people haven't hit the pool, and so the lanes aren't crowded. Wonder how long that will last...

Stabbed myself but good with the insulin needle tonight. Think I managed to stick it all the way in and wrench it a bit, because normally it just stings and this...this is more than a sting. Sigh.

They've been largely staying out of the free weights room, too. But when I went to go do intervals on one of the ellipticals? The treadmill/bike/elliptical room was PACKED.

Why can't people remember the steps of a process I walked them through 20 seconds earlier? Any of them? Is there no recording function at all going on in their minds? Or even just pattern recognition?

Lee, I sent you a text.

mac wants me to help him learn magic tricks and then do the tricks on me. Again, he's not 3, it should not be this hard to explain to him the flaw in this process. Also? He should totally be able to read the magic book and follow the diagrams for these simple tricks.

Onerous tasks today? Well, I eventually got up, showered and picked mac up from school. That for today was onerous. I had to do mea culpas at his therapy for losing my head with him at least twice this week. His therapist says I'm allowed, but she hasn't seen it.

Onerous task of the day, cleaning vomit up from both children. At different times with different levels of mess. (Grace's food today has beets....Noah threw up in the car).

Do. Not. Want.
