The spoons thing is a blog post somewhere...but I have no idea where.
I dragged myself out of bed at 2pm, and decided I should eat something. I have plenty of food in the house but much of it would need to be cooked, so after some serious dithering of whether I felt up to putting on clothes, I thanked my stars TJ's is a block away and went there in search of easily made comfort food. And voila, they have Thanksgiving microwaveable sides already! I got stuffing (which I'm eating now, but not too impressed by sadly--not my One True Stuffing) and scalloped potatoes, and cauliflower au gratin. Mmm.
Matt, I am very glad you sought help and are on The Path to Better!
Sue, the only time my dogs have ever, ever peed indoors was due to UTI. I hope that explains Oz's.
In the annals of excellent headlines: "Drunk Florida Man Tries to Use Taco as I.D." [link]
Just found out that Thanksgiving is *not* an automatic day off here at work. WTF??!! I've made reservations for dinner. It's always been a day off--or at least I thought it was and took it as such and no one's ever said anything. It's going to be "limited staff", whatever that means, and that staff has not been determined. And I suspect my supervisor is petty enough to schedule me in order to remind me of my place in the power structure.
Connie, WTF?
Sue, the only time my dogs have ever, ever peed indoors was due to UTI. I hope that explains Oz's.
Thanks. I hope it does. He does have some other behavioural (territorial) stuff going on, and we talked about kitty anti-depressants, but we wanted to check out possible physical sources.
Matt, so glad you had the wherewithal to get yourself to a safe place. I hope you find your balance again soon.
Weird day.
Does Truth Or Dare ever go well? I've only played it once, and it flamed out spectacularly in the first round--someone ran home. So when I see it used as a shit-disturber on dramas on TV it's one of the few things where I go "Yeah, life is *totally* like that..."
Today would have been my mom's 71st birthday. The kids and I acknowledged that it was coming up but we hadn't made any plans to do anything commemorative. She has been on my mind today and I was ok with that until a cousin texted me that she was thinking of mom and us. Then I kinda fell apart. I have been grumpy and off kilter ever since. I'd love to go to the dojo and punch some pads but I had PT today and my shoulders are taped, so no punching. I'm a 43 year old woman who wants her mommy.
