The band next door is playing "Steppin' Stone" again. I think I'll go grocery shopping.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Happy Birthday, Mac!

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

Happy birthday, Mac!

Happy birthday, Mac! 10!!! YIKES! No more single digits.

So I have a series of hives around the area where I had blood drawn on Thursday. Thoughts? Concerns? Ideas on how to make it go away without Benadryl?

Happy birthday, Mac!!

I have student loan debt that exceeds my annual income, but I feel like that's just another sign of being rich

Huh. I guess I am rich, then...? Because my loan debt is $117K. I think it's more a sign of me being slightly stupid about money, and too freakin' lazy about trying to get scholarships in my 20's.

Perkins, YAY! Thrilled for you!

I am ON SPRING BREAK! I am so excited, and kind of relaxed. It's a weird feeling, relaxed...

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

That's weird, Kat. All I can think is maybe a reaction to the disinfectant they swab on you, or, if the needle and tube was taped down, the adhesive in the tape. I guess you'd probably know, at this point, if you had a sensitivity to latex. Maybe a baking soda paste on the hives would be soothing, or even help them go down?

Eta: I have a box of bees in my garage. They just got packaged up this morning and I am told that that makes them too riled up to try to get into the hive until tomorrow evening at the earliest, so, box of bees in the garage. It's pretty weird.

As far as Aveda goes, their humectant pomade smells fresh and crisp and clean and I love it. Just about everything else of theirs I've smelt is a trigger, though.

I love the smell of Aveda's stuff, esp. the Confixor and the Madder Root Color Conditioner.

I just wish I could afford it more often. Oh, well, I should indulge this summer -- a bottle of Confixor lasts me about two years.

I forgot that tomorrow is Easter. The supermarket had way too many people.
