Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

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!

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

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh.

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

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

Insomnia. Trying again.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

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.
