I forget Trash Day all the dang time. I finally gave up trying to remember and set a weekly recurring alarm on my cellphone to remind me to take the trash out on Monday evening. I set alarms and alerts for everything because I WILL forget.

At least I'm going in the right direction on all of these flights

All flights from Salt Lake to Pittsburgh seem to have go to New York, first, and vice versa. And it's not like Pittsburgh is a small place, it's got its own international airport. You'd think International airports would talk to each other.

Conveniently, my trash cans live permanently in my alley. So my issue is just if I forget to take things down to the cans in time for trash day, I may end up trying to fit two weeks of trash into the can. Which is sometimes too much.

I can't leave them out it's against the rules.

I know no one will judge me or if they do it's petty. They should judge me on the dead rose bushes I never pruned back and have been sitting out in the snow.

It's just the anxiety creeping up in my brain and it gets to be too much.

Chicago to Denver, then Denver to Hawaii

I wish you the swiftest trip to Hawaii and an uneventful return. But, if you get bogged down in Denver, let me know. I'd love to turn that into an accidental F2F.

Nope, not the rose bushes either. Besides, wouldn't you cut roses back there in late March or even April?

Hey sj, I just thought of something: have you tried ginge for the morning sicknessr? It's supposed to be good for nausea. We found some ginger pills that have worked for me, but I would check that it's okay to take while pregnant.

I can will haz Hil! It seems like 2 connections is pretty standard to get to Kona.

Speaking of trash, I should probably take my trash to the place where we take trash before Hil gets here. That...may or may not happen. Sorry, Hil.

Burrell, I have tried both ginger and lemon to some relief, but they don't really help me to eat or swallow medication. I don't think I could handle straight ginger tea, but I have ginger mints from Trader Joes and the good ginger ale made with real ginger. Mostly I think the post nasal drip from my cold is making it worse this week. My nurse said it is a good thing because my body is working extra hard to protect the baby while I'm sick. I did manage to avoid telling her to fuck off. I have the B 6 now and I'm hoping that will help, and I may pick up some seasick wrist bands because those are supposed to help too.

I hope the seasick wrist bands help you. I have gotten relief from nausea using the pressure points they use. And a friend of mine used them when he was in the Navy and got seasick.
