I could make that, yeah. (It's a bouillon cube of mystery, the mystery being How Does It Taste Like Chicken When It Is Vegan? So I can throw it in boiling water and make broth.)

I think there's ginger beer (not alcoholic; Reed's ginger beer, way more bitey than ginger ale) in the fridge, too. And plain old fizzy water from the SodaStream machine.

Stupid stomach.

That's hilarious, Steph.

I just have coffee with breakfast first thing, and then (on weekdays) drink a ton of water right away at work.

OMG, I thought I had refreshed when I had not! Steph, your interactions with your neighbors was hilarious, NOT feeling pukey.

Heh. I figured. (Or else your mean streak is finally manifesting, which I thought was improbable.)

Muah-HA-HA-HA-HA ::twirls mustache::

Oh no! I am sorry you barfed peanut butter!

Ooof, poor Teppy!

I jut talked to my dad, and he's feeling a lot better. Did I mention he went to the ER on Thursday morning? Couldn't take a deep breath, felt like there was an elephant on his chest? It turns out he had fluid on his lungs, and Things Have Been Prescribed to take care of it.

And Pete comes home from the UK today!

Yay for Pete's return, Jilli! And I'm glad your father is feeling better.

I just ate SO MANY DUMPLINGS.

Good lord, Tom. That's dumpling heaven!
