LeNubian, I went from a 44DD to a 40G when I had a bra fitting this winter. I need to get more new bras soon.

(((Shir))) Take care. And Teppy and Andi have wise words.

I've been bloating up a lot after eating toast. I fear I am verging on some kind of wheat/gluten intolerance. But it doesn't happen with flour totilla or bagels or pastries, but I definitely notice it everytime I have regular bread.

LeNubian, I'm glad you had a good bra fitting. A proper fitting bra makes a big difference.

Tons of apartment~ma, Askye!

We're supposed to have a meeting this morning to discuss what's happening next in our almost-unemployment. I'd like to get it over with. My stomach hurts.

Hoping for the best and smoothest outcome possible, Steph.

Thanks for all the good wishes and condolences for my chest meat! :-)

Our wings are not tired.

Knowledge beats not knowing what is happening by a long shot.

Teppy, all sorts of good thoughts and calm stomach~ma headed your way.

I have chickpeas cooking in the crockpot, and I've put in a load of laundry. Is it time to go back to bed yet? It's too damn hot and sticky. Also, my new computer was supposed to be in today, and it isn't. t /diamond shoes are too tight

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

I'd wanted to go for a bike ride today, but it's way too hot. I think my bike riding temperature limit is somewhere around 80. Maybe 85 if it's not humid, which it is.

We're wrapping everything up in 2 weeks (which was my guess). Health insurance covered through the end of the year, which is damn nice (vision and dental through end of August). Severance will be based on tenure plus unused vacation, but they didn't indicate anything about amount, since it was a group meeting and everyone's will be different.

The part where I roll my eyes forever is where we still need to transfer all of our files/archives/databases/etc. to the new publisher, yet the new publisher hasn't provided us with contact people OR any documentation on what files/etc. they actually want.

This is the opposite of helpful, new company. Way to go.
