It's apparently debilitating and miserable.

Oy, that sounds awful, ita. I hope you don't get it.

I had a nice hike, and then went to late lunch with my friend, and I was very good and didn't have a beer (January is dry for me), and had instead a really tasty house-made ginger ale and lamb hash with poached eggs. And then when I got home I totally crashed. I think I could have slept for two hours if I hadn't set an alarm.

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

That lunch downs wonderful, 'Suela. As does quester's cupcakes and cider

Chikungaya does not and I hope you escape it, ita.

Have tried some of my jerky and it's pretty good. Needs a bit more drying time, but the taste is not bad at all.

I really hope you avoid the chik.

I wish I could figure out if the nausea the past few days is lingering digestive protest or if I'm just letting myself get too hungry. Made myself eat tonight and that maybe helped?

I think I've sorted out the last of my os upgrade issues. But now thinking I ought to buy more memory rather than replacing the machine. I'd have to replace both chips. Only have 2 one G chips or whatever. Good news, it is a 2007 MacBook Pro so I could actually open it.

Should have thought of this before Xmas. My old Mac, I took it to my brothers at Xmas and he upgraded it as my gift. He's got the tools and the patience.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Chikungunya is a disease that seems to have hit >50% of Jamaicans, and is transmitted by mosquitoes.

At least I think you can only get it once? Good luck getting it zero times.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Friend's boss who started driving for Uber last night? No one threw up in his car, and he handled the drunken people okay and made some money, so that's all good, but the downside was, he went to work on one hour of sleep, and has another job to go to after he finishes this one. He is trying to save up enough money to buy a house this year. I hope he survives.

I made some progress on cleaning up my bedroom, then fell into a nap, which it seems I needed because I feel much better now.

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

I just got one of my email accounts down to under 90 from 1000+. That's enough productivity for today, right?

I misjudged the swelling capacity of lentils vis a vis the pan.

Been there, done that.

It's a slow morning for Ubering. I'm in what should be a "sweet spot" in Cambridgeport, i.e. no other Ubers within 3 minutes of me. Go to work or brunch or something, potential passengers!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm working today, which would be okay (not awesome, but okay), *if* Tim were working, too. But he's off work, which is SO UNFAIR. t cue world's tiniest violin

I need to find a project to get him out of my hair. Maybe he can take his dad grocery shopping.

Our wings are not tired.

I am working, all by myself, at the office. Reorganizing.
