Then you get to be dreamy and kinda dangerous. Mmm, bandpires.

I completed much onerosity today! In spite of starting out by waking up early to let in the insulators then doing one too many yoga classes (would been fine if i'd just had a little snack in between, even some juice woulda kept me from being so shaky during the second class. Which, unfortunately, was a heated class. The combination of hunger and heat was not pleasant. I managed to stay conscious so that's a total win. Then i had lunch out because the insulators were working on the basement and attic, both accessed from the kitchen, so the kitchen REEKED to much to consider eating there. Then chiropractor, grocery shopping, and returning home to clean All The Things including the cats. Three loads of laundry (sheets, duvet cover, clothes) still in progress, but the cats are clean, fluffy, cranky, and enjoying the benefits of the new furnace.

The contractors were really good about cleaning up after themselves - my basement is cleaner than then they started! But even with dropcloths the main level floor suffered. I can usually clean the entire (815 sq') house with one swiffer and a dustbuster. Today: 6 swiffers and two emptyings of the dustbuster. Then i mopped with 4 washcloths. Blown insulation makes lots of dust, ya'll!

I completed much onerosity today!

Yay!

I am packed for my trip and barring needing to take out the trash (probably in the morning after I empty the milk) or freaking out about unremembered things, I am ready.

Oh except I should program the dvr to watch less tv.

CURRENT SEASON SUPERNATURAL SPOILER WARNING. Please to whitefont.

Sleep with or date?

Sleep with. Looking for practice nookie. I'm not interested in what she has to offer, sadly.

I just tore stuff apart looking for my earbuds. Finally found a spare pair. And went to stash them in the travel spot. Where, um, I found my earbuds. How practical of me.

Hee, Cass. I hate stuff like that. I did that today, looking for the Nook charger. I left my office to find it, wandered through the living room, the studio, the media room, back to the sunroom, and the master bedroom, where I made some disparaging remarks about housekeeping in general and my tidiness particularly. Gave up. Came back to the office. Moved my papers to work with them, and there was the charger underneath the papers in the office where I'd started.

My sister has one ex that I would have been willing to sleep with. But they dated, she switched colleges to be with him, they got to the point of engaged, then decided their futures were in different directions and broke up. At which point my mom told me that I was not allowed to date him. I was, like, fourteen. I was all buh? She said that she'd always thought he was better suited to me than my sister (he was younger than her, older than me, a guitarist, total free spirit) , and now that they were broken up, I was not allowed to pursue him. I was like, wasn't going to, but now that you mention it, he is pretty hot.

clean sheets and duvet cover on the bed: check. Clothes still in the dryer. I've been exhausted since 7am, clothes will have to wait till tomorrow to be put away. G'night folks.

I was not allowed to pursue him.

Someone totally should have told my sister this. She never went after anyone I seriously dated but she definitely went after (and out with) people I'd dated casually and had slept with which always felt a little skeevy. Like she never even once thought she shouldn't just go out with my exes.

But I have my earbuds and my boarding pass and I think enough to read. I'm good.

My sister can go after anyone I've been with. I will give her permission and appropriate caveats. I don't mind. I can go with her last boyfriend, and with her hoped next hookup. but not the guy from 9 years ago she might recheck. He's totally off limits. I see how that is. I totally dig that.

I am dizzy. A piece of bread with jam, and then to bed.

Yay for onerosity completion! Yay for being ready to fly away!

Amy, I think I might like to try yoga for the first time, probably after I drop another 100 pounds or so. I've always been really flexible, even at 400 pounds, and I'd like to retain that as I get older and thinner. I've still got a big roll of fat on the front of my calves right below my knees that make it painful to kneel (the fat hurts like hell to put pressure on), so I have to wait until they go away.

My mom is going to be having foot surgery in April, and I'm going to do my best to get out there and take care of her for that first week. This will be my first time flying since that really nasty flight I had about three years ago, when the elderly doctor sitting next to me poked me in the stomach and asked how much I weighed, so I'm hoping this one will be both more comfortable physically and less stressful emotionally.
