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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I have the flu, and there are two house showings scheduled this afternoon, and D and M woke up at 3:30 a.m. to get M to the airport for his 5:30 flight.

I hate the world. For the first time in my adult life, I stayed in on NYE. Got made up, my hair did, dress on...sat down and was like "Nope."

Do you think if I just hide in a closet during the showings it'll be ok? I've been kicked out of my house sooo many times already, and I feel like utter ass and have no desire at all to leave into the freezing cold with my fever and bone aches.

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

Ugh. I have no idea about staying during the showings Strix, but that sounds miserable.

I am at work. Someone brought in pie, so that's good. Sugar detox starts...Monday (more because I want to have the weekend to prepare more meals than because there's pie today) I am SO CONFUSED about what day it is. Friday but feels like a Monday.
