A trip to Vegas from Utah is so cheap, I'm thinking of making it a yearly indulgence.

edit: My freedom is both depressing and exhilarating. A not-uncommon feeling in my situation, I understand.

I'm doing the thing!

Hooray!

What should I have for lunch? When I decided not to try to pack a lunch this morning, I thought I would have made a decision of what to go pick up by now.

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

Not in the least. I choose to look at it as making the burden a bit lighter to carry.

Having Panera.

My freedom is both depressing and exhilarating.

Yup. And it's a weird mixture to feel on a regular basis.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh thank goodness. I sent my boss two good candidates to interview, one white, one not white. One of them said a thing to her that was a dealbreaker. Thank goodness it was the white one! (I mean, I am committed to hiring the best person, and am just glad if that person is not white. We are all full up on white people on my team.)

I need to schedule a haircut in the near future and I'm wondering if I could pull off the hair that ScarJo has been rocking lately, except for how I don't have her face or a stylist so maybe not? Decisions!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I should not need to wear a sweater in June. Granted, it's over a short-sleeved shirt, but still....

Apparently "homeopathic medicine" has changed definition when I wasn't looking. I was thinking homeopathic meant herbal medicine in general, but given the recent ban in Australia, it seems to be a specific sort of "herbs or whatever waved over water" thing. Is there a school of treatment that uses herbal preparations that's more reputable than what's being currently presented as homeopathic?

Homeopathic means that they're using small amounts of something that mimics the symptoms of your illness in the belief that it will cure you.

I think it's a lot different than taking supplements to aid with a particular issue. Some (not all) of those have data to back them up. I'm pretty sure the alleged benefits of homeopathy have been thoroughly debunked.
