Sorry about the stomach bug, Lee. And about the literal bugs, meara and sj.

I am still working on making breakfast for myself, so it's not going to be a super productive day. But if it's an at all productive day I think I'll count it as a win. We'll see how it goes...

Sorry about the puke unexpected.

I've got 20 minutes to board. It's a one stop, but same plane so the edibles will be slim. I had a couple corn soft tacos for breakfast with the leftover pork al carbon and chile ( plus spinach to maintain tortilla integrity.) Bought overpriced hummus and pretzels & cashews behind security since we has a tire issue on the way down and they didn't think there was time to hit Albertson's( there was.)

I won't starve. Aw, mom packed me a nectarine...

I had a real fruit fly problem that the vinegar traps weren't catching a couple days before a party -- fly paper from Lowe's helped a lot. Also bleach solution down sinks, because that's sometimes the source.

I brought home a new TV from Costco and am now in gadget nerd heaven setting it all up. Happiness is a 50" LED display and shiny new Harmony remote settings.

As soon as we get a power strip for the bedroom, I can hook up the Roku to the TV in there and then we will be able to play Angry Birds and watch House of Cards on every screen in the house.

So, "fungus flies?"

lovely. now I have something new to worry about.

The $6 fruit fly trap I bought at Walgreens was highly effective and was endlessly fascinating for the cast and crew of my last show.

Nurse was earlier this week, and called at 11:15 to tell me she was 15 minutes (lie!) away. My sister's little convo had at least some impact

I'm not sure why someone on another board is suggesting all Jamaicans might have had a bad experience with a large dog. How hard is it to believe that some people just don't give a fuck?

The external drive on my TiVo seems to have failed. I can't bring myself to press "Clear" and proceed. I think it might mean I've lost everything that was stored on it. I powered the drive down and back on again, and when I plugged the power cable back in (while it was turned off) there were sparks.

So if you don't hear from me again, my place burnt down because I couldn't deal with the second electronic failure this week.

Device~ma, ita! Sparks bad. We do indeed hope to hear from you again.

all Jamaicans might have had a bad experience with a large dog

I know a whole lot of non-Jamaicans that have had bad experiences with large dogs. Including myself, and yet I have a large doby.

Every Jamaican ever?? Seems...unlikely.

I have been pouring bleach down the sink just in case. I don't even want to think about what fungus flies might be or entail. Gross.

I had a whole plan for things to get done today but I'm cozy curled up with a book on the couch, so it may not happen.

ita, that sounds like a variation on "Black people hate dogs" stereotype.
