Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Oops. With all the medical craziness, I completely forgot to make reservations for dinner on Friday for after the play we have tickets for. And of course, it is Valentine's weekend, so everything we have gift cards for or groupons for are booked up. So on a whim I called a newish kind of fancy restaurant right near the theatre that I have been wanting to try, and they had a table available.

Yay, Pix!

Happy Birthdays to Pix and Maria! I hope you both have a wonderful year ahead.

Sean, good for you and best of luck getting it all worked out. What classes are you planning on taking?

That is a GREAT b-day present! So happy for you two! Oy, talk about a journey for that. I hope this helps turn the corner for y'all.

ION- motivation? Yeah. Lacking today. Just don't wanna do anything. Blargh.

Tea: I have Trader Joe's cornbread in the oven, made with butter rather than oil and with some chopped jalepeno's in it. It smells so good. I don't know if I'm going to be able to wait until dinner so that we can have it with our leftover chili.

We're ok. 2014 is proving to be as challenging as 2013, so we're less than thrilled with that development. I had such high hopes for the new year!

Oh, vw. I'm sorry that you're having another challenging year. You deserve good things!

I'm sorry 2014 isn't better for you, but it's great to see your pixels, vw.

Amyth is home (she lives next door to me) which is a relief. The roads around here are getting pretty scary. The traffic reports say many of the major highways are gridlocked. I'm much happier knowing that my local peeps are safe.

Oh, yay for Amyth making it home! How scary!

We're pregnant, which is very exciting. But, the doctors are concerned about lagging fetal growth. So, we're in this limbo. We were just starting to tell people when we had the concerning ultrasound, and it's just taken the wind out of our sails. And my darling husband has had several job interviews, but none of them have led anywhere. He is beyond frustrated, and the baby stress is just intensifying that frustration and stress.
