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.
Take me, sir. Take me hard.

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

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Yes, last night's. Ooh, let's see if I see what thing you mean!
Heh. I'm curious to see if you pick it out. You can post here or in Procedurals after you watch it.

My lips are so fucking chapped and NOTHING HELPS. So annoying.

I've got a pot on the stove simmering now.
Normally my lips don't chap unless I'm dehydrated, but this weather is just too much and all that time out in the wind today didn't help.

Also, Sarah and Joe won't tell me their favorite libation, and god, I owed them so much. Sarah's ladder, their rescue and then Joe insisted on going back up on the roof to pour more hot water down when I was all 'good enough' because I wasn't getting back up on the fucking roof. And they're the ones that 'helped' (AKA took over) rehang my cabinet last year when it fell off the wall. Joe is the best neighborhood's boyfriend ever. There's a reason he is part of our girls' wine night.

Dr. Dan's Cortibalm. I saw it recommended somewhere for people on Accutane, and found it at Target, and it's amazing.

The pricier stuff from my co-op doesn't smell like much of anything. The Trader Joes stuff smells a bit coconutty.

Belated happy savory oatmeal b-day, shrift! Sorry, I got caught up in my Drama and Whininess.
