"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

sara, part of the reason, I think, classes are so hard as adults, is that we are usually so self-determined in what we pursue, that to sit in a class and follow someone else's plan/agenda it's tiring and painful.

I am still doing injections and I have bruises all over now. I hate my body. I really feel like my body is a shitty lemon car that I drive my brain around in.

I think that's definitely a part of it, Kat. I'm even worse than I used to be about being independently DIY, whatever the It.

And this class, I really can't criticize it at all. She was very good (it was FranklinCovey,) it just... I *knew* that, next? Do I have to wait for everyone else to catch up?

I also now know why certain people are such a PITA on certain projects. They really get lost in the details and derail. I mean, the one who I always was ready to kill (to the point that I avoided her socially, even though we have the same friends)? She really had a hard time understanding the concept of a status-only/accountability mtg that could be short. She was aghast I run one 2x a week that runs under 10 minutes, at most 30 if a smaller group breaks out to triage an emergency issue.

Which explains why I wanted to kill her when I worked one project with her.

I'm glad you're not dying from a rogue clot, but I'm sorry you're a bruise magnet. It just seems so ridiculously unfair. Has K forgiven me for the rat poison comment yet?

(Also, I'm way too fucking wired for coming off of 2 days of < 5 hrs sleep and 9-10 hr workdays.)

Fastest swim I've managed in over 2 months, and I did 5 extra laps by accident. WIRED.

That's exactly when you end up crazy wired.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Congrats Brenda!

I'm at the Red Line Tap. I'm gonna take some pictures of the open-mike, except they're starting late tonight and I'm getting sleepy. I haven't hung out in a bar in ages.

Paging Teppy: Is it ok to take Vicodin (that's hydrocodone/acetaminophen, right?) with Claritin? And/or booze?


Dana - Mar 06, 2014 5:46:59 pm PST #21632 of 30000
I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I wouldn't be mixing acetaminophen with booze. Though I am not Teppy.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm not Teppy, but based on my experiences with those medications, I'd say it's OK to take Vicodin with Claritin, but don't mix it with booze.
