We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh, Scola. Your mom is wrong. That is all.

I would happily climb into a pillow fort. My right hip has been hurting badly for a few days, except for a brief respite after yoga Friday. I tried just about everything last night - Alexander Technique, acutepressure, a full dose of muscle relaxant (I usually take half), and sleeping on a heating pad - to no avail. I'm putting most of my weight on my other leg. I made a PT appt tomorrow, which will eat a good chunk of my day; it'll be worth it if I can get some relief.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sympathetic ughs to Tom, Sue, and Dana. I hope things smooth out, esp with the asshat making the false insurance claim.

So my son is at camp today, where they will keep him busy so we will both be happier. Daughter we kept home. She was supposed to go to sailing camp, which will be awesome, but not for a child who is still coughing like whoa. So her sailing camp has been switched to mid July instead, when her brother will be in Minecraft camp. Frances and I are now awaiting a call from the doctor about whether or not they want to bring her in for a chest x-ray. I am hoping that a day without fever means a Get Out Of X-Ray Free pass.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have a massage appointment tonight, but I'm thinking of canceling because the sunburn on my neck still hurts.

The blisters on my big toes are feeling much better at least.

Massage on sunburn does not sound pleasant.

My unopened tin of TJ's Dark Chocolate Wedges that I accidentally left in my desk drawer over the weekend has melted and resolidified so that it basically looks the same (ie, two layers of 8 wedges separated by paper) but is somehow a form that I cannot extract from the tin. There has got to be a gremlin or malevolent deity to blame for this.

Trepanning for everyone!

Yes, please. PLEASE.

My massage therapist said she can work around the sunburn on my neck, so I kept the appointment I had for tonight. So at least today will end better than it started.

This is the therapist who charges me for two hours but often goes for three hours.

I think people ought to be able to opt out of trepanning. ETA, nice tommyrot!

She actually gives me a discount. After I told her about the shitty year I've had, she decided I need a massage on a regular basis so she lowered her price for me.

That sounds like a nice massage!!

I'm glad Franny is able to go to sailing camp another week, that sounded like the worst prt of being sick, to me, having to miss it!

I was supposed to be on a plane right now and get to Tucson at 4pm. Time to work out, get dinner, and maybe do some work. Instead my flight was delayed, so I'll miss my connection and the next flight isn't until 8pm, getting in at 9pm. Grrrr. Also not thrilled with work, as they keep being all "well, we are working on it but in the meantime, please justify why things are behind, even though you've been complaining of being 150% allocated for several months". Ugh. Sorry I can't be two places at once?!?

It's really nice when people are kind.

My crankiness level is going down, but now I'm overwhelmingly sleepy and I'm noticing how much my head hurts. I guess it's time for more caffeine and different drugs, because I will be in the soup of humanity tonight watching the game.
