I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait, Steph -- how will anyone know it's SRS SCIENCE??

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

We put in little doodles of people in lab coats who are scowling and waving Erlenmeyer flasks menacingly.

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

msbelle, lots of health~ma for your uncle.

Jesse, thinking good thoughts for your and your family today.

At least Dana is not going through DISC assessment training today. *shudder*

Perfect! But you're 100% sure you don't mean, "Little doodles are put in"???

Aw, thanks.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Been thinking of DJ and Sarah and Nora and Jesse this week.

Peace traveling to Kat.

Amazing exactly no one, as soon as I started tracking calories I have managed to stay on target. Giant piles of greens are in my foreseeable future.

I am having a day where I think, "I need to stop eating so poorly. I am starting to develop my mother's middle-aged belly," and then eat more mint M&Ms. Sigh.

Man, I hope I got enough done this week -- my boss has been on vacation, and I'm pretty sure she's going to want to know the status on some shit I didn't get to. OH WELL.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So it wasn't Suzi's marathon, but two hours of getting my tooth poked out has exhausted me. I did go to the grocery store (that was across the parking lot) to stock up on soft foods and ibuprofen, that probably contributed. Consultation with the periodontist next Friday to see if we can save enough tooth for a crown or just extract (Dr. Joyce showed me the piece that had broken off, it looked like a canine without the root), and do I need a root canal (current thinking is no, but that could change).

Not the best way to get three-day weekends...

On the plus side, I like this practice and it's so long since I've been to the dentist that I am super impressed by probably standard modernizations like digital x-rays and TVs at the chairs to distract you. They were real good about talking me through all the payment options and care options, which goes a long way.
