And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Steph, I am in the same boat, migraine-wise. It sucks. That plus a sprained ankle is super crappy. I hope you get some pain relief soon.

I'm trying to eat for the first time in a day or so, and it's not going well, so I'm going to revisit in five or six hours.

Argh, my back is killing me. I really thought it wasn't my bed but now I'm thinking it is. Which means a new mattress.

To be fair, my mattress is 14 years old, so.

Off to European Sleepworks this morning, I think...

Go away, pain. Leave us alone.

I do have a Dr Google cure to report. My nose was so painful with its incipient boil/pimple that I was driven to google home remedies. A number of people recommended toothpaste. I felt ridiculous smearing toothpaste on my nose, but I figured it could do no harm and hey, I live alone. My nose immediately stopped hurting. I thought, "Okay, the mint in the toothpaste is acting as a counter-irritant." I washed it off after an hour, as recommended, and the pain hasn't returned. I have no explanation.

It did cause me to dream that Steph had linked to a Gilbert Gottfried Mr. Potato Head for sale. Where did that come from, brain?

To be fair, I still don't know the full contents of the attic. There might be one up there.

I need to go out and finish shoveling. I don't want to. It's sunny and warm and needs to be done sooner, but I don't want to.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I was *just* coming here to post that exact same thing, sara. I don't wanna shovel either.

I actually don't have too much left to do thanks to last night's foray, but still don't want to. But as soon as I finish this coffee....

Hey, how's the plowing in your new jurisdiction?

Could be better, could be worse. When we went to bed last night around 12:30-1, the streets were untouched. This morning they're plowed to bare pavement. I need to see how badly I'm plowed in though. My back parking area can hold 4-5 cars, but it's in an alley that gets plowed. I may have more shoveling to do that I don't yet know about.

For everyone's amusement, I am at work today. I was actually later today than I was in the snow yesterday, because while the streets are fine, the bus driver decided to park in front of Wendy's and get some lunch, taking 10 minutes.
