I have boiled off half a pot of water with cinnamon in order to hydrate my air. It's raining outside, cold though. I still feel like my sinuses might crackle into a hundred pieces when not planted directly over the pot.

I hereby apologize for all my whining the next few days. I am an awful patient.

Oh Kat, how infuriating! Grrr!

I had a good final day of classes. Hugs from many students.

This weekend is shaping up to be onerous task weekend, AKA we finally empty out Liz's office and send it all off with the haulers. We'll see how far we get.

I thought I knew what you were WHOAWHOAWHOAing and then I got to the next scene.

Hah, I am now caught up on Scandal (because I decided to do dinner with a friend, and skip both the holiday party and the dancing in favor of dinner then couch). And yes, WHOA indeed that last moment. I'm hoping we get a little explanation though. Because it seems so out of character. I mean, I get the motivation, but...yeah. Anyway. The sad part is, I'm so over the whole Mama Pope thing that I've started fast forwarding through all of that. Probably missing important info (though I caught the next-to-last-scene revelation), but I just don't actually care all that much? I think I, too, want the Mellie-and-Cy show. But James could hang out for added pretty.

Oh lord. I woke up in a panic, thinking it was a work day and Loki had turned off the alarm.

It was 4 am, and it is saturday. Finally fell back asleep and barely woke up in time for coffee before market. Today might be rough.

I am splurging on an Irish coffee because it is 6am and I don't really need to be awake anyway. And still haven't watched Scandal because I started Grey's and that kind of pissed me off so I switched to Elementary. And now I'm going to sit by the fire and read, hooray!

Good luck with the onerous tasking, Burrell.

I was at the register in front of the open door (it was quite cold and eventually rainy) but also right in front of the heater all day yesterday - temperature-wise it worked out okay for me but my goodness my lips are extremely chapped. Kind of makes them a pretty color.

8 degrees. Do I make the dog suffer through wearing a coat?

I'm not sure she needs it while it's still above zero, or frankly that I want to encourage her to stay outside longer. It is some Jesus cold out there though.

I cannot help you with that decision. So far outside my experience.

Me either.

I don't have anything to make my coffee Irish. Sad now.

::pours Jameson's through interwebs::

Timelies all!

I'm sorry about the insurance stuff, Kat.
