Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I've always been an easy bruiser but it's kinda ridiculous right now.

I go through weird phases where I will bruise if someone looks at me wrong, alternating with not bruising even if the Hulk punched me. I have no idea what the difference is, because I take vitamins on the regular, and my diet is more or less consistent.

(This post brought to you by the giant mystery bruise on my thigh, which had me running around the house yesterday trying to see what furniture was exactly that height. Turns out to almost certainly be the cast-iron pedestal tub. Stupid tub.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I have a Stupid (though very comfy) Futon, Stupid Doorknobs (almost always because the dumb cat trips me), Stupid Countertops (also dumb cat tripping me) and then randoms. I'm already clumsy and prone to bruise. Adding whatever new factor that increases bruising just makes me look sad.

Bodies need better outer shells.

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

Mine are Peace on Earth which I love. If I never find a bottle of At Your Quebec and Call, I can live contentedly knowing that I still have fun options.

Oo, those are both beautiful. See there's a reason I thought of you!

Trying to get DH to do push-ups/tricep push-ups/sit-ups three times a day, which means promising to do them with him at least once. The things I do for love, I tell you.

Greetings from Austria! It is fucking hot, and these people in Europe don't believe in air conditioning. They just run around in 100-degree heat, looking all chic and continental.

I have eaten the food, gone up the mountain, gone through the museums, and eaten the gelato, because we're not this close to Austria for nothing.

I tend to get myself on doorknobs and furniture mostly, but even the car has been known to attack me on occasion.

Lovely, Dana!

If my nail polish legacy is shimmery olive, I am happy.

Better if it also includes an oil slicked duochrome with gray, purple and green. Like Ki or Greys Anatomy

Polish pretty.

Good luck on the working out.

Eat some pastries in Austria, Dana!

Dana, you're just round the corner from me! The heat just broke here with a lovely big thunderstorm, so relief is probably on its way.

Yeah, it rarely gets this hot, so no air con as a rule.

It is fucking hot, and these people in Europe don't believe in air conditioning.

They don't in the UK, either. And are confused about the idea of iced Americanos.

Have fun in Austria!
