"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I know why I'm tired (K was out of town for 3 days so I was the only Mom). I think I'll have my swig of codeine and go read.

After I make water bottle and soda bottle labels for the party. WTF is wrong with me?

For the car themed party, I have a picture of a (I think) radiator gauge. With "Keep It Cool" and "Bottled Water". For the soda bottles I have a fuel-gauge so I'm putting something like "Fuel Up" and then the name of the soda.

Compassionately intolerant

"Keep it cool"

I like it.

When I was in a training program, one of the coaches used to say, "Hydrate for life, mate!" all the time.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

"Total Boundary Issues."

They do seem to go together. One of my trainees has one, and he's annoying.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I did Pilates this morning (5 of the last 6 days) and have been at work for 10.5 hours. Only 1/2 hour to go!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Damn, it's windy. I decided to pull the plants in from the porch, and while I had the door open the wind caught my outer metal screen-like door and blew it open hard enough to break the arm that props it open.

Meara, I would happily share my cassoulet with you. It's mostly vegetables: I even added chard to it this time, yum.

Except my parents announced that they think the best move right now would be for them to buy a house with me. ::facepalm::

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

It's been rainy here, which has been ok. Last weekend, it was gorgeous, but I was stuck in end of quarter hell, and I wanted to start in on some yardwork.

But I caught Captain Tripps Tuesday, and it got worse and worse -- 3 days off work, nothing staying in my system -- and no way I was going to be doing any yardwork, so I'm glad it wasn't pretty, so I didn't feel worse. I FINALLY kept everything I ate down today, although my stomach is still twitchy and my digestive system is still...well, I kept everything I ate DOWN today. I had ice cream! And a shower! Woo hoo!

Uggh. I apologize. My last post was an incomplete thought and on reread is obnoxious. It's complicated, and I'm trying to learn how to work well with him.

smonster, just because someone has an issue that you need to work with doesn't mean you can't think they're annoying.

It's ok to be all "You have this thing that's so not your fault, and I know I need to work on ways to work with you BUT OMG, sometimes working with you makes me want to scream."

That's human, hon.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Home at last. I love my quiet apartment with the goofy cat (currently saving me from rogue rubber bands) and wonderful neighbors. Now I just have to untense enough to go to bed and sleep.
