This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

hip deep in pie

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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.

Thrive to spite them

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm hoping my bedtime yogurt works tonight. (Did I already discuss this? A couple of weeks ago, I ate a cup of yogurt 30-45 minutes before bed, and I slept like the dead the whole night through. Didn't wake up once until morning. So I tried it the next night, and the same thing happened. I tried it again the third night -- for science! -- and the same thing happened. So now bedtime yogurt is my thing. But in Colorado, I had bedtime yogurt and I was WIDE AWAKE. It betrayed me. So tonight is the first night I've had bedtime yogurt since I got back. It had better not betray me.)

bedtime yogurt, how happy! I usually go with bedtime tea, bedtime melatonin, now with added bedtime dose of L-Tryptophan
