Aims,

this is why I love the holidays. I can find new ways to get into arguments with people I love.

Grinding update: I have been wearing a Targét mouthguard for 2 days and I have nearly bitten through it. When my dentist said he recommends people buy 3 mouth guards, he was not playing around. I figure I probably have another day or so for this one, and then I'll have to break in a new one!

I purchased the brand recommended above so we will see how I do with that.

It's a Deena! Huggle, Deena! I'm so glad things are going pretty good.

I just found three spoons on my desk here at home. Pro: I can haz spoons! Con: those should really be in the kitchen.

I managed to be dressed before the builder arrived, had the local optometrlst fix my glasses, and made an eye appointment for Tuesday. I'm going to call today a win.

Dear Builder,

Please stop talking about Obamacare and various other things you've heard on right wing radio.

ew, sj.

Thanks, erika. He has gone now. I like him a lot and he is very good at his job, but I'd rather not hear about his political views. I personally just think it is unprofessional to talk about politics to customers.

well, if you're not on the same page, at least.

ugh, sj. My mother had the same thing happen to her a few weeks ago. She was captive audience to a guy cleaning the rug who was also an apparent anti-obamacare "expert". I wasn't there so I don't know what I would have done in that situation, but I feel for you.

Oy, sj.

So remember that super busy weekend I had planned? It's probably going to look somewhat different. My car just died with no warning in downtown rush hour. I'm off to the side and my insurance covers towing, so that's good. Mostly likely clutch or transmission. Ugh.

D is with me, and immediately sent me around the the corner to get a bagel. He learned fast about my blood sugar crashes.

Ohno, smonster. So much easy/cheap fix-ma. I'm glad D's there in case you need to lean a bit.
