I'm going to FL tomorrow where it's warmer So I look for my summer clothes. I had packed twice the stuff I wasnt wearing and the stiff I was plus odds and ends. I can't find the stuff I packed first. Which means its...not here. Maybe I'll find them but I've been through every box and bag .

It's frustrating but I'm not beating myself up over it.

....and Mom found the boxes.

That weird moment of reflected twitter glory where you think you're blowing up, but only cause one of the Cool Kids replied(And I bet, with still mad respect for Chris Hayes, that, good as he seems, he's never been a CK before, right?) Not quite as great as Cory Booker(Which was like being retweeted by a Beatle in 1964, with, like, "luv" attached, but it is totally making my newsgeek heart beat faster.His wife would bury me in paperwork if I tried anything...she's an admin lawyer) And I'm still not concentrating well and stuff over the pet-grief thing, but CHRIS HAYES KNOWS MY FAKE NAME, YOU GUYS!

Neato, erikaj, Chris Hayes tweetage is totally distracting and Cool!

We journalists love our shop talk. Although on some level, I wish it was that half of America discovered my broke, crippled ass was a genius. Maybe next year.

I'm in FL. I checked out Neverwhere as read by Neil Gaiman to listen to on the drive down and a book I'd never reat but looked interesting. I discovered I can't listen to audiobooks on long drives. I got too interested. .. in both.

Luckily I had a bunch of spotify playlists set up for offline mode so I listened to those. Bluegrass covers were quite interesting.

Even though it was dark I could tell developed have decided tallahasee doesn't need trees and needs more buildings.

Askye, I like audiobooks for long drives, but they have to be books I've read. Otherwise I get too distracted.

I'm the exact same way. Although I don't recommend David Sedaris for long drives unless you want to drive into a ditch from laughing so hard.

I'm just the opposite. When I have tried audio books I end up noticing that I haven't been paying attention to the book because I have been too distracted by the driving, or my other thoughts. They don't hold my attention. This may be related to my inability to watch TV without a pause and rewind option.

So FB email tells me that it is Amy's birthday, that would be the amych variety of Amy. Since I really don't want to go in there at the moment, even in a limited scope -

Happy birthday, amych!!! I hope that you are being well and truly spoiled today.

Yesterday I got the flu shot and the pneumonia shot. Today I have a fever of 101. My doctor seems unconcerned by this. Thank goodness TCG had a random day off to pick up the slack with ltc because I feel terrible.
