Sophia, I tend to describe pain the way yo do ("I feel like someone's taken the top of my head off and a cold win is blowing through" is a fairly common thing for me to say) and DH would always respond to me saying something hurt with "A sharp pain or dull? How intense?" blah blah probably medically useful terms (his dad was a doctor, I imagine he picked it up from him). Which could be helpful but often frustrating.

Yeah, if you pack it yourself, they'll label it. They should also give you a guideline for what constitutes high value.

HI MEETING I'M NOT READY FOR!

Not actually for another 40 minutes, but the stress is hitting now.

Good luck with the meeting

I'm feeling very sleepy all of the sudden. It's a little weird.

I sense evil in this thread.

Heh. It comes creeping in on comic sans...

So this rescheduled rescheduled substitute-hosted webex meeting seems to be not happening.

I can just hang up and leave, right?

It has been 6 days and I think my body has adjusted to the reduced caloric intake. I am hungry before meals, but not horribly. I am thinking about food a good chunck of the afternoon though. Not in a bad way, but a planning way so I do not just eat what is easiest.

That's about where I am, too, msbelle. I hope to get through the constantly planning food phase before too long...

Dear Other Department

You were on the initial email requesting this information. Did you really have to wait for a second email addressing me directly and my response that I did not know and could Other Dept help before answering?

OK. Meeting that I am now somewhat prepared for. Totally unrelated to above rant, btw, which is part of why I was so annoyed, I did not really have time and attention to spare to making someone else do their job.

Back to school stuff is starting. Isn't it a little early?

Which means we're about two weeks away from THREAT LEVEL: PUMPKIN hitting all the craft stores! Deliver unto me all the glittery skulls!
