Your mom's or your sister's?
My mother using a computer would be one of the signs of the Apocalypse. It was my sister's computer, which apparently hadn't been talking to the ATT e-mail server since May. Then we had a drama when she wouldn't give me her password so I could set up her account again.
It will probably live in your climate, Zenkitty, although you might want to cover it if there's a 20-degree forecast in the next month.
OK, this is just getting ridiculous. I'm not coughing as much, but I seem to have caught a stomach bug. I had to pull over at a gas station on my way home from campus because I had to throw up. I bought a big bag of pretzels while I was there, because I'm pretty sure that the quinoa and kale stew that I was planning to have for dinner would not be the best choice.
I put the thing outside in a pot and watered it. If I ever get the energy to dig a damn hole in the ground, I might plant it.
Erin, insent...
Oh, Hil. Health-ma to you, m'dear.
And Zen, backflung.
Man tries to mug MMA fighter.
The mugging victim was able to get control of the gun, and the two wrestled, with Miranda accidentally firing his gun and shooting himself in the ankle during the fight.
The victim, who told police he’s a mixed-martial artist, held Miranda down until the police and found Miranda with a face full of cuts and two black eyes. He was taken to Holy Cross Hospital for treatment.
Heh, Tom.
And that made me want to follow-up with some other awesome people beating off muggers:

I would like Steph's doctor, too, please.
Also, as I've been proclaiming everywhere, I heart the internet and am glad it is in my new home at last. Yay.
Yay!
JenP - I'm sorry I was out of pocket today - let's replan for coffee.
I went to the cutest post office today. It was tiny, run by the Postmaster, Kathy. when I walked it, she was putting up a decoration that one of her customers had brought. She told me that she knows most of her customers by first name. As I was buying my money order, a customer walked in and she said "Bill, check your box again, you have more mail". She really does know all of her customers.
Steph, my old doctor prescribed me Pepcid when I had that series of poison ivy afflictions that caused me some skin hypersensitivity.
I will cheerfully admit to schadenfreude on the attempted burglar who got introduced to the "ground and pound."
Our ED hosted a holiday party tonight, though unfortunately she was sick and spet most of the evening in her room. I was amused and unsurprised to note that inviting a bunch of Americorps to dinner is the same as inviting Peace Corps volunteers - they clean the table like a plague of locusts. My manager expressed repeated surprise at how nice I looked - I wasn't even wearing makeup, I was just clean and in a skirt and heels.
It feels so late. It's only 9 pm!! Totally crashing.
