I already took some Sudafed, and just added some Tylenol and used the steam inhaler for a little while. Sleep was just not happening with my sinuses like this. BreatheRight strips would help, too, but I can't find them.

Jersey City is big enough that it should have a fair selection of vegan gluten free takeout for when you don't feel like cooking or driving. (Vegan pretty much is kosher unless you insist on the "blessed by a Jew,untouched by Goy" part, true?)

I'm not gluten-free, and I don't keep kosher, but Jersey City definitely has vegan food.

And even for people who do keep kosher, the untouched by a goy part only applies to wine.

Don't know why I got the impression you were gluten free and kosher. Sorry about that. But then you should be able to get vegan delivery there. I mean you have Vegan places even where you live, but vegan that deliver - really limited true?

Also did a quick google. There are pharmacies that deliver. And groceries that deliver. So just the ability to get stuff delivered when you are not up to going out should be an advantage.

ND - it occurred to me - you might get some help ... or at least reassurance that you're following all the rules, crossing your ts and dotting your eyes .. from the SBA's online learning center.

It's North Jersey. You can get pretty much anything delivered there. And Amazon "2-day" delivery actually takes two days, rather than the eight days I recently waited for something here.

My semester is nearly over. My students took their final exam today, and now we're just waiting for the scores to come back from the scantrons. Then input final grades, then deal with students who don't like their final grades, then done.

Oh.My.Goodness. Just chatting with co-worker. He was telling me about his gf's brother. Six months ago, he breaks up with girl, 8 year relationship. Within weeks, starts dating another gal. Within 3 months, engaged. Right now, we are 6 months out from the wedding. That time is longer than the time they have been together! And, the icing on the cake. The wedding will be a Twilight themed wedding! Co-worker is like "I'm bringing my little cooler full of beer, and will be laughing the whole time". Talk about a rebound wedding. Wow. Crazy.

I did not offer to officiate that one. Although, they are dropping $14,000 for the venue! Doesn't include decorations, food, or booze. Just the venue, tables, and chairs. And they both work at In & Out.

Sometimes, it's really hard to be non-judgemental. Sometimes, I fail at it completely.

It's possible the family is (or families are) paying for it. I mean, I get you. I wouldn't have spent that much money on a venue, either. But some people do.

But man, what do you GET for a $14,000 venue??? Those must be some fantastic chairs.

Without being non-judgemental, I would say that if they want special effects in line with their Twilight theme, and they are in your area of expertise, and they are willing to pay your going rate, you should totally take their money.
