Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Because books.

Acetaminophen doesn't work for me anymore. I've taken ibuprofen for years.

It's Friday, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thank goodness!

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

For certain kinds of headaches, the ones that start in my sinuses, tylenol + ibu is my go-to treatment. The tension headaches get naproxen.

It is Friday, Amy. I hope it behaves itself.

When I've had really bad pain -- like tooth pain -- I've used acetaminophen with ibuprofen, too, but in those cases I'll throw almost anything into the mix.

New Hannibal tonight! That's a good thing.

Well, then. Looks like I have a signed contract and a tentative start date of April 1.

Woo and hoo? SIGH.

I think I'll work for my ex-boss for the next two weeks and then take the last week of March off. I can get lots of running in, and work on my house, and take Dad to lunch and stuff.

This is with the old office, Consuela? Congratulations! About the paycheck, anyway.

I need to go research a thing so I can tell someone that they can't do a thing on a call later today. How much do I not want to do that?

God, I need more caffeine. And Pandora, why did you think Coldplay is what I wanted to hear right now? IT IS NOT.

Yup, it's with the folks who laid me off last year.

That which does not kill you should RUN

I just got an extremely savvy marketing email. I bought a cute apron from Flirty Aprons last year, and occasionally they send me promo emails. This morning I got an email thanking me for my purchase and telling me that I would get an email confirmation when it shipped. Except I didn't order anything.

A few minutes ago I got an email saying "Sorry about the earlier email; it was a technical malfunction where we meant to thank our most recent purchasers, but it went to everyone in our database. To make up for the inconvenience, here's a coupon code for 15% off."

Well played, Flirty Aprons. Well played. (I don't think they actually sent out the first email as part of a marketing scheme to follow up with the lure of a 15% coupon, but I think that the second email will get people to buy more aprons.)

Spoiler: I'm not buying another apron. I already have 3.
