But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

I got up heinous early and went to the ENT, who said I don't have an ear infection and probably never did. Yay, I guess? Means I'm good for travel, now. Amusingly, I ended up seeing FOUR doctors, plus an audiologist (they do hearing tests--I'm losing some, in one ear). The first guy came in trailed by a Japanese cochlear implant specialist (??) and a med student, and he went over stuff with me and looked in my ears and used me as an example of "normal" for the med student in my ears, nose, and throat, and then the guy who my actual appointment was with (who's the department head!?!) popped in and looked in my ears and said all good. Madness.

Now I'm sleepy and don't want to do work.

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

I joined my mother in Montreal once during the comedy festival. Despite her having met these people 20 years ago, I maintained strict radio silence between the two camps. She was very good about it. She got some of me, friends got some of me, I crept out of my parents' hotel room in the middle of the night for random shenanigans.

Shenanigans (excluding this usage) has been used in this thread 10 times in 16,964 posts. That's kinda amazing.

I am the shenanig*n leader! And Liese is second!

And how random that you looked that up, Kat.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

In non-shenaniganish news. I have a bad cold and am at work. Where is my medal?

It's a good word.

Laundry done, only one load, though. Treadmill done, 30 minutes. Not bad. Now shower and dress for work. Bleh.

ETA: and emptied the dishwasher.

I looked it up because Frankenbudda (I think?) used it yesterday and then you used it and I was like, "What's up with all of the shenanigan use!"

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Y'all want to know what is so yummy it's insane? Brie & pesto with grape tomatoes on sourdough toast. I also have marinated olives and a cakeball for desert! Lunchtime WIN!

Makeup for Jesse.

I hate when people are late for my meetings, especially when they're on my team and outsiders are on time. Hmmph. I also hate when that means the meeting runs late.


JenP - Jan 14, 2011 8:10:33 am PST #16972 of 30001

That sounds delicious (ETA: DJ's lunch, not ita's late running meeting). You win. What's a cakeball?
