Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, Theodosia -- good to know!

(It's kind of funny how many supplements the dog takes that we also take [fish oil, vitamin E, glucosamine]. We all have shiny fur.)

Heh.

Steph, one of my friends studied natural nutrition and says that the nightshade (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant) family of plants promote inflammation and should be avoided.

Glad to hear things are OK, Jesse.

Glucosamine is the thing I was thinking of, but I see you are already on top of that angle (go team shiny fur!). There's another similar thing, starts with a C? You are robably aware of that, too.

My grandmother used to get some kind of wax treatment for her hands - basically soaking her hands in warm wax, I think just for the soothing warmth. And acupuncture.

I ate all the strawberries for breakfast (with whipped cream, but not ALL the whipped cream). Nom.

Hil has arthritis and would probably have some useful info.

Finally caught up on The Good Wife. Oof.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Stopped by Staples and realized that I could probably buy a new printer for only twice the cost of the inkjet cartridges. I'll at least have to put off the purchase until I remember to bring the old recyclable cartridges back with me.

Then I made the mistake of going into the Christmas Tree Shoppe (which is a local chain not specifically about a holiday theme, but a brighter, cheerier odd lots store). Came aware with some plant bulbs I wasn't planning on buying....

THE BEST STORE EVER. Do they have patio furniture out now?

Oh, you guys, the funniest thing happened this week: I was chatting with our staff liaison/guide person, about where we're from and whatever, and he asked when I graduated from high school. He's probably 23, so you know, that's a normal question if maybe he has a friend from here. I was like, "Brace yourself," and told him. I swear to god, he almost passed out. He was like, "So you remember when Nirvana came out?? You actually remember being in the 80s?!?!? Do you look a lot younger than your friends???" Poor noodle.

Because books.

Christmas Tree Shoppe can be dangerous.

Heh.

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

Do you look a lot younger than your friends???

You should have told him, "No. We walk among you unnoticed. Silently judging your flannel and remix choices."

I only know Christmas Tree Shoppe from occasionally filling their orders. I was picturing a Santa's Workshop kind of place.
