Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Even though they give "driveway" as a choice? It's like they don't want your stuff.

I know, right? Granted, I had left it way back in the driveway, but that's because people have to drive there! Anyway, the reschedule date isn't for a couple of weeks, so I'm thinking I'll just trash some of the stuff and bring the rest to Goodwill next weekend. But for now it has to go back into the garage.

Also, my vote is not pancakes but instead Trader Joe's pumpkin waffles. That was my breakfast.

Mmmm, that was my breakfast yesterday. DELISH.

sj, I hope you heal up quickly.

It's annoying when you try to do something charitable and the recipients make it difficult. Sounds like they should change the wording on their website.

It's lovely here right now. I love fall in NC.

ETA: I had pancakes yesterday. Not the best I've ever made, but enough butter and maple syrup covers a lot of mediocre carbs.

I came across this Taiwanese half-pancake/half-omelet thingy this morning which I'm also going to need to try soon.

That looks amazing. And you can just make it with egg roll wrappers???

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yes, please, I would like to eat this now.

Of course a coworker came up behind me while I was in the middle of investigating further.

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

I got a flu vaccine last Thursday, and my arm still hurts. There's still a big red spot around the injection site. My whole body aches and I've got a fever, or it feels like it. Is this normal, to still be hurting after five days? This has never happened before. To me, I mean.

I called the doctor's office but they haven't gotten back to me. So I guess I'm not dying. Trying not to be a big whiner but I expected it to be okay by now.

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

That's not normal, Zen. ETA: that is a reaction that someone should be telling you how to treat.

Ooh, that breakfast thing sounds great! As do TJ's pumpkin waffles. I just finished my mango waffles from the summer, so maybe it is time to reup with the new seasonal ones, although I was figuring on actually making waffles at home next time I was going to eat them. Well, gonna be a little while before that decision needs to be made.

Thanks, -t. This doesn't seem normal to me, either. I got a flu vaccine and a pneumonia vaccine and I don't remember which one this was. Hopefully the nurse wrote down which one went in which arm! I left a voice message for the nurse. Maybe they'll respond to that more quickly than they do to email.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Zen, last year I got the pneumonia vaccine and the nurse missed the muscle, and I had a very bad reaction if the area is red and/ or warm to the touch, you need to be seen.
