Ugh. I just got lectured at the doctor's office and now have a headache and am in a very very bad mood.

Been there, sj

I'm sure

Parenting is not for the faint of heart.

Nope.

What's your Book Nerd Score? Mine was 45, and I'm vaguely ashamed that it wasn't higher.

35. I was taking this quiz last night when ltc work up and then she fell back to sleep and I forgot to finish.

I own no first editions, and have never recognized an author on the street. Nor am I obsessive about reading the winners of any particular prize (though there are several that I peruse the nominated books as a suggested reading list type thing). Most of the rest though. :)

I can't read while walking or in a moving vehicle so that eliminates quite a few categories for me.

I do own a first edition, and have recognized an author on the street, if by "street" you mean "elevator". I don't care about reading all the books in X category, though. I get my recs from friends. So I guess I'm not a real Book Nerd. #fakebooknerd

Mine was 45

I was a 46, but I feel I should get the point about naming my pet if you count my daughter as a pet. My one requirement for her name was that it be literary.

You guys, I have been exhausted since I got home from Colorado. And in physical pain. I'm amazed my brain (and body) got me through the week without getting sick or a migraine or my back hurting from sleeping on the couch, but it did. And then I woke up the day after I got home and I was *exhausted*. And then yesterday I was more exhausted than I was Monday. Today is no better. I feel completely nonfunctional. And my back and hips hurt a lot.

I guess I'm glad it all held off until I got home, but I am decrepit wreck right now.

Sometimes you function when you have to because you have to, and then when you don't have to anymore, you collapse. Just rest and give yourself good things! Like kitty pets, and Tim, and drugs.

Teppy, feel better. Also, everything Zen said.

ltc napped. So, I napped as well, and I'm feeling considerably less cranky than I was earlier, probably because the evil headache is finally receding.

So in shocking speed I'm getting CT scans done on Friday. I think, I have to call back (I already tried once) to find out how much they cost because when I made the appointment I hadn't checked with my insurance to see how much I would be responsible for.

Tomorrow night is supposed to be board game night at the therapists' BUT it's also supposed to rain/sleet/snow starting a few hours before which means I probably won't be able to go because there would be the risk of not being able to get back up the mountain. So far this windy mountain road is a huge pain.

In other news I'm reading A People's History of America which, while interesting, also makes me think we are in the same cycle of the same thing happening over and over again. I keep running into quotes that are relevant to the present economic and political situation and I haven't gotten up to WWI yet.

Also my nephew is going as Harry Potter tomorrow, his school is having dress up as your favorite character. I joked he should go as Junie B Jones and he laughed and came up with some ideas and then said no. I think because he didn't want to dress as a girl.

I saw daffodils today! That was nice. Oh and E was willing to sit next to me and kind of snuggle. He wouldn't hug Mom, "You had me all to yourself for seven years!"

Junie B Jones is hilarious. So much funnier than that awful Greg Hefley.
