Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I made it to the gym! Sat in what they seem to call a Jet Spa for 10 minutes, hit the steam room, and then the sauna. My calves are slightly less achy, we will try running again tomorrow. Fitting in three runs a week is clearly going to be a challenge. And the receptionist caught that my card wasn't actually linked to my membership, so that's fixed.

And for my treat, I'm thinking a second glass of wine with the last of my potato tortilla. And Elementary.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Last night's Elementary? It was pretty good. But I have a narrative weakness for a thing the show did, so I'm not objective.

Oh my god. I have windburn all over my face, my nose is chapped, my lips are chapped and split and I have a contact rash rubbing on my neck. And I think the sneezies are from super dry air + chlorine at the pool just being Too Much for my sinuses to handle. I got them a little outside today, but after the pool? Whoa.

I'd just like to marinate in lotion.

Yes, last night's. Ooh, let's see if I see what thing you mean!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

It was take-the-kids-to-work day for me. Well really, take-the-kids-to-work-then-ditch-work-and-go-to-the-museum day. Soft landing from the vacation. But now we need to go out to dinner because I failed to get the shopping done.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I've started slathering myself with coconut oil after my morning sower, and it's done wonders for my winter dry skin. Trader Joes has jars of it, pretty cheap.

I inherited a ton of lotion, and am running through it pretty quickly. No wonder my grandmother was always complaining about her dry skin -- she never used the damn lotion!

Because books.

sara, you have old-fashioned radiators, right? Put a bowl of water on them to create some humidity. I know the dry heat is killing me, but we have electric.

Calli, does it smell a lot like coconut?
