I was just buying theatre tickets for our wedding anniversary (which is coming up in less than two weeks, can you believe it?), and the internet told me to call for a better deal. Instead of paying $52 a ticket we're only paying $18 a ticket! Woo Hoo!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Thanks to TCG being home today we ended up getting some furniture moved to make way for the furniture coming in this weekend, and I think we finally got up most of the glass from the rock throwing incident. Of course, I am once again asking myself why I have so much stuff and where the hell it is all supposed to go.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm sorry, Daniel. I hope the rest of your year goes much better.
I'm glad Hubs is home, Fred.
Much health~ma for Bartleby, Bonnie.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so, so glad Hubs is home, Fred Pete. Care and convalescence~ma to both of you.
Ongoing vibes, always, to Daniel (who does deserve a better birthday) and to Deena, and continuing to vibe for Bartleby until further notice.
I'm completely stupid with tired right now, and, due to work-related snafus (which were NOT MY FAULT, but I have to deal with the fallout anyway), I have to be here no later than 7 AM tomorrow. I'm gonna finish the morning stuff and then crawl home, slink into bed and not move again for as many hours as I can manage.

A medical question:
It turned out that my back pain was a dislocated rib, which I apparently got in an excess of sympathy for Hil. (Actually, I think it was the dog's fault. Just before this started, I was walking out to the mailbox with him on a leash when he spotted a chipmunk and made a mad dash after it. There was a sort of popping sensation at the time, but it took me a while to put it together because the pain didn't start immediately.) After the muscle spasms calmed down, my chiropractor popped it back into place. It immediately stopped hurting to breathe and was getting better. Today, however, there's more pain and a weird popping sensation, like it's popping in and out. Has anyone ever had that? Is there something I can do? It feels so strange.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yikes, Ginger. I have no advice, but lots of sympathy.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've had that happen. I don't really know what to do for it, other than relax and try to find a comfortable position. Sometimes either putting on or taking off a bra helps -- it changes where there's pressure.
