Then I had to go through security again and the agent took my sealed in a duty free bag bottle of whiskey, opened it up, opened the tube it was in and swabbed the bottle.
For a minute I thought you meant they opened the whiskey, and was shocked.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy birthday, Lee!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, this week is killing my semi-introvert self. Staying with my mother, and even though she's been out of town the past couple of nights, last night I had dinner with the people staying in my apartment and then drinks with a friend in town for work, then tonight was my support group. All good things! But I just had one hour to sit alone and watch a TV show I picked, for the first time since Sunday. Thank goodness she won't be home until 8 or something tomorrow and I can come straight home from work.

Happy birthday, Lee. I hope your day was spent with some joy.
I spent the last 30 minutes looking up hot flashes. It's been a 100+ degrees for many days. Yesterday and today, I have felt feverish around 2:00 ish. I could be getting sick, but then I thought it might be hot flashes. But, the temperature rise while significant is too small to be detected by a regular thermometer and the fact that I was 101 when I got home seems to indicate fever rather than hotflash.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I encourage more people to take boxing classes. It's good for getting the anger up and out.
Also in no news to anyone, I get angry too quickly and really really big. I would have been a horrible abuser in a different situation.
Allergies are bad and my throat is raw from drainage and whine whine whine. Dinner I had been anticipating for 3 days (nothing special, just lasagna at church) was gross and completely unsatisfying.

I do this. It's not good. I didn't used to. I can trace it to my divorce. Not in a "not my fault way" but in a "that's where I got fucked up" way.

Ugh Kat, definitely sounds like a fever, not hot flashes. Rest up and take care of yourself.

Leaving early didn't have much benefit. Ah well.
I do long slow burn angry. Possibly even cold. I don't let go, but I'm not really explosive either. My officemate remarked today that if my eyes shot bullets, there'd be a lot of dead after this summer. ' it takes a lot, but don't piss her off. I had no idea she could be so scary.' Mine is strategic, totally comes from my background. Inwardly, I might go kick a brick wall, but my face to the world is an attempt at biting systemic deconstruction.

Hoy, I'm wiped out. Spent 2 days down in SoCal visiting a Navy base and asking people questions and answering a lot of questions with, "I don't know, I'll have to ask." Which is kind of embarrassing.
Also, I'm a totally spoiled Bay Area resident, because the hotel's free breakfast had little omelets with American cheese in it and I was grossed out. Also also, turns out my dizziness gets worse if I'm doing a lot of traveling and stuff. I get dizzy and a bit carsick and tired. Argh. Healing takes too fucking long.

Tomorrow's Dad's birthday and I don't want to go over, I just want to come home and do some of the piles of laundry on my bedroom floor. Argh.
