Happy birthday to javachik and happy anniversary to Connie and DH.

Also sending warm thoughts to everyone who had craptastic days. There were many here who seemed to be having bad days. My day was mildly bad, but at least not craptastic. I'm just sick and tired of being sick, and I failed to eat dinner, which led to DH giving me a wee lecture about not skipping meals and then going out to buy me dinner.

re: my gift...It doesn't have to be work-related

Ammunition?

Well, it's supposed to be one thing, and I'm not in the market for a howitzer shell at the moment.

A box of ammo might work, but .380 rounds haven't gone up that much.

Oh, dear, now I'm wondering what might be on sale at the gun store (of which there are several in my town).

Edit: Hubby and I thank you for all the well-wishes. It's highly unlikely I'll get a golden anniversary, but there should be a few more years left in the institution yet.

Aww, yay for your DH. Yeah, being sick is no fun, and it's tiring, and you don't want to eat. But you need to eat. Eat!

Audible.com is confusing me. To "purchase" the free audiobook I had to sign in with my Amazon password. Download instructions include this:

If this is your first download on this Mac, you'll be prompted to enter your Audible username and password.

How come my Amazon username and password don't work? I was never prompted to create a username and password for Audible.

It's just disappointing me. I can't download it from Australia. Ah well.

Möbius Ship

Heh.

I couldn't get the Audible thing to work. I downloaded it, but couldn't play it.

bed time story!

Insomnia. Trying again.

My driving commute is largely not sucking as much as I worried. I'm also more relaxed about the traffic and the time it takes (compared to the last time I had a driving commute, 10+ years ago pre-Paxil). I also have plenty of NPR podcasts to keep me entertained... but I still miss walking and public transportation options which meant healthy exercise and time to read.
