I hope the surgery does the trick and you feel much better very quickly, Kate!

I did know that Winona = Karen Darling but it is still amazing.

Wow, Kate, what a not-good, very-bad, horrible week! I hope you feel better really soon.

I'm going to head over to Whole Foods after work and pick up some yogurt, oatmeal, and other assorted stuff to try and do some cooking this weekend. I've still got a lot of chili left over from Saturday's cooking session, but I really should do something with the chicken I've got in the freezer. I had chicken salad from the cafeteria today, and was not too happy with it due to the excessive amount of mayo.

My husband spent all day yesterday cooking. The result of which is that we have a fridge full of food, so I had toast, homemade tomato soup and mozzerella for lunch (along with a cake ball made by a friend for desert). Yum.

We also hooked up the tv and watched some movies.

I am so tired of not having regular life. Home with kids, day 4. mr. flea went to work for 10am. I was going to go in 6-10 but work decided to close at 4pm. After opening at 11am. If I can't go to work tomorrow I may lose it completely.

What's a cake ball? Is it like a cakepop?

flea, good luck. And Kate, wow, what a week! You deserve a break.

Ugh Kate, hope you feel better soon.

Ugh flea, hope you get out of the house soon, work or no!

msbelle, I haven't managed to make myself oatmeal every morning yet, but for years now I've been trying to manage my cholesterol by eating whole grains, lots of fish and good fats, lots of veggies, etc. My doctor didn't want to put me on statins but she did suggest I start taking red yeast rice supplements. They need to be taken with CoQ 10.

Kate, I hereby declare that the rest of this year must be awesome for you and your husband. So be it!

How did I not realize, until I just read it on Go Fug Yourself, that Winona on Justified is the same actress as Karen fucking Darling from Dirty Sexy Money??? Possibly because the characters are such opposites.

That reminds me of how startled I was that L&O: SVU starred the very same actress who played the stammering, sensitive, incompetent girlfriend of Mark Green on E.R. Remember the one he hired as the ER admin after she cried in the interview and he felt guilty? And then he later dated? Yeah, hard to reconcile that bumbling mess of a woman with the super strong character Mariska Hargitay plays on SVU.

Jesse, I didn't realize that either!! Wow.

Right?? ACT-ing! And yes, also on the Mariska Hargitay.

Um, flea, maybe you have to "go to work" tomorrow regardless of your job's schedule?

Wow, Cumberbatch gives off a whole different aura when he's ginger, doesn't he? There's a guy I could snuggle with all day, if, you know, the hubby wouldn't mind.

Cumberbatch and Tennant:
