I vote you make her chicken and rice tonight and then spice up a portion for you! May a round of meds fix it right up.

Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Just want to take a minute to thank everyone for letting me use Natter to worry tonight. You’re the best. I’m going to go to sleep and hope for good news tomorrow.
Thinking best-possible-care, loving and healing thoughts for Kaylee and the pup, and for you and ND, Pix.
Oh, too much doggy trouble! Fingers crossed for you all!
There are definitely casinos in PA -- my Mom used to go to one because there were organized trips every week to the one near Philly, which was built around a pre-existing racetrack. I'm not much on gambling (I hate to lose money more than I like to win it) but I was happy to take her and let her enjoy herself.
My folks like to go to the little riverboat casino in their town, have the buffet, and spend $20 each on slots. And their only real vacation ever was a road trip to Vegas. I ain't hating -- some people really enjoy it.
There's a Chana Joffe-Walt and a Jude Joffe-Block now working for NPR and that's very confusing in the morning. Sisters, maybe?
JFC. I'm supposed to have a call at 10 along with one of our senior people, and got an email this morning that may or may not indicate that she is bailing and I NEED TO KNOW ASAP. So I can cancel on the outside person! SO SO BAD.
Oy, good luck with that, Jesse.
When my alarm went off this morning I was really angry at it, sure it was Saturday today and I did not actually have to wake up. Guess it's been a long week.

Oh, there's a term for that! Losing a thing we have seems worse than gaining a thing we don't have seems good, in general.
OK, I can stand down for the minute -- the call is apparently happening. Assuming we can actually reach the internal person who is actually in Sudan right now. Fuck everything.
So this morning's new symptom? A rash. Fortunately, it's mild and not itchy. But this can stop any time now.
I called the nurse hotline and I was told that I am highly contagious for two days after the blisters appear. So I guess I am staying home for the rest of the week. I don't feel that bad, but...
Currently trying to get my TiVo to talk to my computer so I can watch The Americans from the comfort of my couch.
