Yeah, that's not right. You should demand indoor activity, and hot Nicholas.

Come to think of it, we all should.

Hah, I was all wondering if I should know what hot Nicholas was before I saw the postscript. I did have mince pie, fruitcake, and glög last night while watching Love Actually with my sister (in town for the weekend) and roommate. Fun! I surprisingly recommend the ikea nonalcoholic glög, with or without added wine

Yes, we should.

Leaf blowing in 25 degree weather is nuts. And may actually make you wish for snow.

At least snow blowing makes sense.

Actually, when you are done with him, send hot Nicholas this way.

I was wondering if a hot Nicholas was like a hot Karl.

I could use a hot Nicholas.

amyth, I hope the meds kick in soon and make the itchies bearable. BTW, I'm listening to my Chrismukkah mix from you years ago, the one that starts with "Christmas Rapping".

My back feels fine when I wake up, but then starts hurting again. Dammit, I have errands to run, lights to put up, and a pub crawl to attend!! Trying to decide which one would be less likely to interfer with driving between Flexeril and Tylenol w/ codeine.

I think my former neighbor M might be trying to put the moves on me. I mentioned that StW and I broke up, and almost immediately he offered to come over and make me dinner. I really like him, but am not interested in dating him.

I just put my tree up (with PCA assistance). Now I want mulled wine. I was meant to be making some today but we were also meant to be having a Chrismukkah party and that would have involved other people ergo a reason for mulled wine. I may make some just for me. So there.

I think I'm going to go over and just say "Tell me what I can do inside."

This sounds like a plan. As does hot Nicholas.

I has a great skate this morning, but am now at work. I will have to be here all weekend because I have to create an entire Affirmative Action Plan by Monday. Did I mention that this job was given to me YESTERDAY MORNING? It involves zillions of charts and statistics and is not fun.

The chair tipped, but the belt held me in. So I have a huge chafe mark around my waist from that, but I did not go down. Which is good, but it would have been better not to be held to my chair by my shoulders and upper back for, like, six hours. But I didn't know that was what happened and kept trying to move the chair.Which was upended, so the wheels did not make contact, obviously. When it tipped, I thought something broke. Besides my spirits. But, two days out, I don't hurt as much as I expected and that morning I was being a bitch(although I didn't need such a LONG and agonizing lesson about it, I had a *little something* coming. Just not that much. Damn.) A few years ago, I developed a sulfa allergy too.Which is too bad as they used to work really well on me, and, hives, OMG!

The thing with my eyes this summer might be sulfa allergy, said the doc who prescribed the second round of stuff I reacted to.

And erika, I'm glad you weren't hurt worse. It sucks you were stuck for so long, though.
