Isn't that wild? I love that.
Curry is an idea. I think I have ingredients for that, although not rice. Hm.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sorry I missed the FB-smacking. I'm still mad at the asshole kid who was nasty to Barbara's daughter, and need to work off more righteous ire.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So apparently our weather here was all like 12 hours late. It was supposed to be hot yesterday, but NSM. But it was really warm when I went outside at like 9pm. Now it's warm this morning, but will be chilly again by this afternoon! Booo.

I hate waiting on service callbacks. And pro-actively calling gets me nothing (I know it won't, but still.)
I've got all my phone lines forwarded to my home phone, I've got skype set up to call into a meeting so as to not tie up the line....and nothing. And I have to pee.

The having to pee part might be the most annoying of all!
I'm glad I mostly forgot about work all weekend, because now I'm all tied up in knots again and my most difficult internal client is now in with my boss before I had time to tell my boss what it's about. (What it's about is ACTUALLY NOT A BIG DEAL.)

And shit, I have a routine dentist appt tomorrow that I probably need to cancel. WHEN I KNOW MORE.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh, he's still going. Have at it, please.

Triumph! I remembered the easy way to open the bag of birdseed (usually I do it the hard way while muttering to myself that there was an easier way).
I take my triumphs where I find them.

argh.
So I had surgery on my ear on Friday, to correct a congenital hearing loss I've had since I was a child. I thought it was going to be minor surgery, but it wasn't, so much. I reacted really badly to the anaesthetic, even with a scopalamine patch to settle my stomach.
I spent all weekend trapped in my house, mostly unable to read, and not able to eat much. And now I'm still suffering from vertigo, which makes driving or taking the bus to work really not a good option.
I lost some weight, but I don't recommend this as a useful diet. For one thing, I can't exercise more than easy walking for two weeks.

Oh wow, that's awful.
I'm now on vendor # 2 from the warrantee because the first couldn't get here until Monday!
AHHHHHHRG.
