Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Because books.

Welcome home, vacationers!

Consuela, that sounds miserable. Hope you feel much better soon -- vertigo is no fun at all.

tommy, I agree with everyone else -- an appointment is a good thing.

I feel like I've gotten nothing done today, which isn't true, it's just all little, nibbled-by-ducks things. But they included calling my health insurance provider and making a doctor's appointment, so go me?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Definitely to a doctor.

One of the guys I work for had been having numbness in one hand and then started slurring a bit and went right in and they found he had a tear in an artery and it was causing microstrokes. Scary.

Also I presume you will be sharing the info for that masseuse?

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Aurelia- I don't know your connection to that troll, but I'd unfriend him in a heartbeat. You don't need that bullshit and neither does anyone else. The stuff he posts on his own wall indicates that he really is that kind of person and isn't going to be swayed by logic or reason.

We have beautiful 80 degree weather here. I have decamped work into my bedroom where I can open the sliding glass door and have a breeze. I really need to get a patio set so I can work outside.

It's dark here, and it's started thundering and spitting rain. We may have hail again, they say. Wheee.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

This frickin' day. A four-hour training session in the middle of it, I never got my cup of tea, and my 5 person department is down two people (ie we have two open positions - the person they hired for one of them has backed out). It's not pleasant.

I think they weather might be nice, though. Soon, soon I will leave the office and the weather will matter.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Healthma to all!

Heavy rain with thunder here.

Trying to kick start karate again. Had my private lesson today after missing class for a couple of weeks. Went over all my forms and some of my defense techniques. There are cob webs in the brain but not as bad as I thought. Also did everything back to back to back - so it was a good cardio workout.

At least I had a good shawarma on the way back to the office. Nice little deli, they set me up with an electronic punch card, which I have not seen before - it texts me my receipt and after 5 visits gives me something off (he told me, but I don't remember). Technology!

And now I can go for a run. Presently. Possibly after I set a bit and do nothing.
