Please remind me this does not mean I can skive off the remaining week before my vacation...
I don't think I can do that.

I need food, but I live in some kind of delivery desert. Places that say they deliver, including one service that I swear I signed up for with my address, suddenly become coy when they see my zip code.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I now remember why I don't make plans with thus friend that often - she's going to be a half-hour late! That is ridiculous. Ah well.

Bummer, Ginger. That sucks.
I am home, prescriptions are filled, I do not actually have to be anywhere until Sunday brunch. Whew. This felt like a very long day.

In addition to the new BBQ truck with the bone-in sandwiches and the never-open grill truck, my street just had a Latin fusion restaurant open. Looks pretty neat, something different for downtown and they have Salsa dancing classes on Thursdays.

YAAAAAY SUELA! Job!
I was in the accelerated track in a computer/math/science magnet program in middle school, and it was, hands down, the best academic years of my life. I fucking loved that school. But I got terrible grades anyway, because I was constantly losing homework assignments and I have always been a terrible test-taker. (And then at the high school I wound up at, there was no way to test out of the math classes I'd already taken, so the geometry textbook I had in tenth grade was the same one I'd used in eighth. And then I became a film major and now I can't math at all.)

I'm going to start making tuna salad to take to lunch, because I want something more filling than the pasta I've been having (or, heck, cold tuna and pasta salad). But I've heard that you shouldn't eat tuna more than twice a week or something. What's the consensus on how often you can eat tuna?

Congratulations, Consuela!
Connie, I think the main concern with tuna is mercury. It's more of an issue for pregnant women, but it's probably still not great to eat daily for anyone ( much as I like it). Could you switch it out with chicken salad or egg salad?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Mummy was electrocuted today and now her heart rhythm is A Okay. Gonna see her in a couple of weeks when oldest brother isn't there. Supposedly. The him being there, not me going to visit.
Also, I stabbed myself in the foot with a kitchen knife. So today at work was fun. (On top of coworkers telling me that if I don't go up and see my mom NOW and something awful happens I'll regret it for the rest of my life). Way to make me feel awesome when there's nothing I can do about it since she was in the middle of her procedure at the time. I think where my mum was a nurse she's a little more practical and blunt, and if she didn't have faith in the procedure, she'd be "you nee to come home beforehand". No, she's making plans for Costa Rica with my fat ass. (Note: however I misspelled that, the autocorrect was "carcass" which also seemed apt.

because I was constantly losing homework assignments and I have always been a terrible test-taker.
Sounds like a certain girl I know. For some reason, my son is an ace test taker and my daughter is an abysmal one.
Connie, the worry with canned tuna is the mercury. I think the rec is once a week. You could always alternate with chicken salad swapping in canned chicken for the tuna in your usual recipe.
