You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Why am I watching Man of Steel on TV tonight when I own the DVD and have a borrowed Australian indie thriller to watch?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

You remind me, I should Neti pot tonight and drink more water.

Ugh, I need to go use the neti pot again. Usually it's super satisfying, but now I'm just tired of doing it. STOP IT SINUSES.

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

Can you massage your face over the sinuses? That has helped me get even more to drain when I do it before or after neti-ing.

I've been kind of poking my face in agony, but not actually massaging. I'll try that!

Compassionately intolerant

Oh, how awful, Steph!

I hate the running tap and pounding sinuses. Ugh.

I usually get a little relief from putting peroxide in my ears also with the neti bottle.

Quick healing to you.

My kitchen is jam PACKED with awesome food. Such a bounty makes me humble.

The mushroom gravy from Plant Pure Nation is even yummier today.

I went to the earthy crunchy store today for a couple of additions to the pantry and was CRUSHED to see that they don't carry Sriracha Sauce because it contains something unhealthy. I love that stuff. Hmph. Maybe putting it in hummus healths it up.

Well, bonny, it definitely makes the hummus yummy. I wonder if the TJs sriracha is better or worse?

I'm trying to write every day, but I'm using a composition book to do it and I refuse to pressure myself to write more than a sentence or two. I'm also trying to write one letter a week. This week it was to my dad.

I roasted some garlic & sausage along with the veg, and caramelized some onions. It was delicious and I jammed that in my face so quickly.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

There is quite a bit of unhealthy food still in my fridge from the holidays. I am going to try and limit what I consume while still trying to use stuff up.

I am doing the same. I decided to see how long I can go without buying any new alcohol or sweets, but I am letting myself finish off the stuff I already had.

Thrive to spite them

I'm going to try Buzzfeed's 28 day workout challenge instead of focusing on food. I need to get more active and I'm still trying to adjust to Mom's weird eating habits but I'm trying to make better choices eating.

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

I hadn't really formalized it to myself, but I'm doing the same things Lee, I guess.

OK, have given up on the kitchen for the day. Even though I know, intellectually, it's a many day project, seeing how much is left undone each night is disheartening. But I have picked out clothes for tomorrow and I'm freshly showered so tomorrow morning should be easy. With a little luck, work-work will not be too tiring tomorrow and I can put in a few more hours of kitchen wrangling in the evening.

Your dinner sounds delicious, shrift!
