I went grocery shopping. Why does a bag of baby spinach with bacon bits and croutons cost less per pound than a bag of plain baby spinach? It was a pretty significant difference, too.

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?
And screw Valentine's Day. And all the couple-ness. And people who are having sex. ...OK now I'm just getting grumpy and unreasonable.
I understand this. A friend and I are going out to eat tonight as each other's V'day dates. I am very much looking forward to it.
flea, feel better! No puking.

I don't feel barfy anymore but I have a fever and I'm all achey, and tylenol is not helping either. I am so rarely sick it is strange. I've been watching old Antiques Roadshow clips with the guy I co-edited my high school literary magazine with as appraiser of 19th century books and manuscripts, which is also strange. He looks and sounds pretty much exactly the same.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
because the bacon and croutons weight more than the spinach? or because there is a terrible conspiracy against vegetarians?

Happy Birthday Pix and Maria!
I feel very productive - worked ahead on the new ultra-crunched project today and have gotten as far as I can without further input from the editors. Fortunately, no one had further input for me as of 7:15pm so it looks like I get tomorrow off after all! (I will, of course, be paying for this next weekend when everything hits my desk and I have to work 13+ hours a day to keep up.)

I've managed to strain something in my quad? hip? pelvis? which is making it painful to walk. Which wasn't helped by spilling a glass of milk all over me and the chesterfield...and having to run around and get towels and take off covers before the milk soaked into the cushions. Sigh.
Also, it's snowed a little bit every day for the last week. not much accumulation, but no relief. These are definitely that dog days of winter. The days it's best to go elsewhere.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I told myself I would do some laundry today. I should do something about that, shouldn't I?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think I'm getting post-nap headache.
