I called and it went to their machine! WTH! I did arrange pick up for a piece of furniture we got a couple of weekends ago though.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This usually helps me, but rags straight from the freezer, one on the forehead near the top of the head, and one on the back of your neck.
Huh! I'll try it.

Made the call already, but thanks, lisah! Looks like I'll be swimming OUTDOORS. Wild.
I think all that needs doing now is to actually get in the car and go to the airport. But flight isn't until 8:15, so not yet.
Oh, I can go turn the alarm down from wake-the-dead volume.

I'm so excited. It makes me sad to ride past it and think of how it could be if someone renovated. And now they are!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
That triangle is out to get me.
Nonsense. It was the amoeba-like thing that was dangerous. The result was as absolutely not like me as possible.
Its constant abundant presence in the freezer due to the ice cream monster I live with has made its allure wear off.
Since the only ice cream monster around here is me, I don't think this would work. The little ice cream voices would keep calling me until it was gone.
My extensive study of ice cream labels has mainly made me realize that the low-fat ice creams use sugar and chemicals to make up for the lack of fat, making the number of calories almost identical. The main difference is that the flavors that are full of nuts and candy bars have more calories.

Oooh, I dig the Empire Room and the Zig Zag Room.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Looks like the federal govt will be shut down, but instead of being furloughed, I'll be on (unpaid) jury duty. Can't win for losing.

Strega, thank you and curse you for linking to You Are Not That Smart. I just lost an hour to it. Good stuff!

Sometimes alternating heat and cold works. Also, try some common acupressure points: [link]
Finally, caffeine? I know excedrin has it, but not as much as a cup of coffee.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My agency is non-appropriated. Which means I have to work even if there's a shut down. On the other hand, knowing the pay check will still be coming in -- is a good thing.
Hubs's status isn't clear yet.

Well, that bites. Would you get paid later?
I still don't know what's going to happen, but I suspect I'll be furloughed because the government won't be able to incur costs to my employer while it's shut down. (And I'm not involved in any sensitive or life-saving programs.)
Maybe I'll go skiing...
