I've been working from home this morning while I waited for someone to come by and survey my crap for a move assessment. Now that she's been and gone and I had to chase one of the cats up and down the stairs, I am going to the office because it's falafel day.

Now I'm thinking about being full of Gronk, and it is surprisingly (not at all surprisingly) dirty!

Ha! Oh yeah, isn't there a cult fan fic about him? A Gronk to Rememner? I heard about it on NPR, of all places.

Sorry about getting trapped, y'all. I was all irritated by the roto rooter trucks a block up from me directing traffic at my corner, but I never was trapped by them, just annoyed (especially when they would make me wait when I was at the 4-way stop first and waved someone making a left turn in front of me. Bastards)

Falafel Day sounds delightful. We have an Ice Cream Social on Thursday, I guess that will have to do.

I'm jealous of Falafel Day. No special days here yet, but it's only an office of 9 in company of about 250,000. We do have an unlocked vending machine though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just had a near-disaster with the vending machine here -- it's sold out of Diet Coke, and the remaining Diet Pepsi was blocked by another bottle that didn't fall down properly. OK, so I guess I'll have iced tea. Put in my money, hit the buttons -- and the bottle does fall down! I hit and shook the machine, and it came out! Proud of myself.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Finally, my doctor called in the preauth to Cigna and my pharmacy is filling my prescription. After several days of me calling them both every day. Still don't know why Cigna suddenly needed a preauth for a med they've filled with no problem several times before.

Side effect of the med in question: vivid, oddly coherent dreams. They're little stories that make pretty good sense, unlike normal dreams. They're often violent, but not terribly scary. I'm living some interesting lives, these nights lately.

I hit and shook the machine, and it came out!

VICTORY!

Sounds like that machine deserved it!

Because I am sure you are all fascinated by the status of my gums - today more sore than itchy or achy, AND I remembered the orajel, so yay.

Funny how toothache and headache and stomachache and "aches and pains" describe such different types of pain.

You tell that machine, Jesse!!

I have also only heard of Gronk due to NPR, but I can see why that would be dirty. ;)

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

Yesterday I was all productive. Today I am having a hard time motivating. Funny how it goes that way.

Day 4 of gray, muggy, and occasionally wet, but I haven't quite adjusted to this being summer. Not that I mind it, it's just so different from the usual desert conditions.
