I didn't so much graduate as escape from high school. No way in hell do I ever want to see more than a half-dozen of those people again--and that half-dozen I see or keep in touch with already.

Yeah, I realized a few weeks ago my 20th HS reunion will be next year, and that just seems utterly unpossible. I mean, sure, high school seems FOREVER ago, but...20 years?!!? I can't be old enough that I had real memories 20 years ago! (I don't think I'll go, more because I don't want to go back to Indiana and doubt the people I'm curious about will go, rather than a dislike of people I went to school with--I'd love to find out about some of them, but there were 500 people in my graduating class, and most of the ones I lost touch with but would love a 3 minute update from are not going to attend either, I'm sure--they weren't at the 10 year one)

I'm always grateful for the chance to help out this friend, since she has done so much for M and me since we moved to town. So we're just hanging out with her cats and each doing some work. It's nice and companionable.

Aww. That's awesome, and so nice.

Oh, insurance company, why do I have to call you and tell you that you paid three claims for me? Why is this something I can see on your website, but somehow you can't?

My 25th should have been 2 years ago. I don't think anything happened though. My entire class seems ambivalent about reunions.

A bee sting to the neck sucks mightily. I've felt Noah's malaise and I sympathize.

Wow, it is super-reassuring to have the insurance company tell me that there's something wrong with the way the website is calculating my FSA account balance. Good thing I looked really carefully.

It'll be my 25th college reunion next year. I'm considering going, but with pretty deep reservations. I'd love to hear what my classmates have been up to, but have no idea what I would tell them about my life.

We haven't had an official high school reunion, so far as I know, ever. One unofficial that I heard about, would've been like my 7th or 8th, I guess? I didn't go. It'll be my 30th in a couple of years, if somebody organizes something I suppose I would think about showing up.

Oh, glorious temps in the 70s, how I have missed you!

Can you send those up here? We promise we'll send them right back.

No way, I already had to brave Kentucky cold this weekend.

Its mostly stopped snowing here - the roads are a mess but at least its not as windy as it was this morning. My back is probably going to be sore again tomorrow because I slippef hard on some dnow-covered ice. Argh.

Man, I am having a weird reaction to something. Is it safe to mix different types of allergy meds? I've taken (generic) Benadryl, and I've got generic versions of Zyrtec, Claritin, and Allegra standing by. Also have liberally applied some hydrocortisone cream and have a few other lotions I could try but I feel like the internal application is what's gonna really help. The Benadryl is definitely helping but I would like to feel more normal and less itchy if I can...
