Being carpool again tomorrow. Maybe I can prep my brain?
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
sarameg, let me say that your passion for your city and especially your neighborhood and your openness and interest in others make your posts a delight to read. I am so glad I know you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I was late to work this morning because my eggs took forever to cook (they probably actually weren't really cooked through when I gave up and ate some so I could get out the door, but I think my risk of salmonella is pretty low). Sometimes my life is particularly stupid and doesn't make a good story.

We have a scarecrow decorating contest at work this Halloween. I'm gonna have to give that some thought.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ugh. My anxiety issues are worse than they have been recently. Today I had to drop my cat off at the vet for a tooth extraction. It's a short drive to the vet but traffic was bumper-to-bumper for part of the way, which stressed me out. Then it took longer to drop off the cat than I expected, resulting in me worrying I didn't put enough time on the parking meter. Then driving to Highland Park I forgot about the road construction on Sheridan, so that took a lot longer. By the time I got to work, I did a shitty parking job and just said "fuck it" and went in to work.
All in all, just a typical day for a car-owner in Chicago, but it's left me wanting to hide under my desk for a while. I've got to start exercising more, I guess.

Hope the doc can help, Tep!
I'm sorry, tommyrot. I'm glad you have something that helps, although I know going from "I should do this I know it will make me feel better" to actually doing it can be hard and anxiety doesn't make it easier.

Yay, my company put out an update! Yay, most major antivirus programs think our executable file is a virus and is deleting it!

So, going to the doctor was a good idea. I have 4 prescriptions! My oxygen level is low, which means inflamed airways, so I get steroids and an inhaler. Also antibiotics and cough medicine. And Diflucan because of the antibiotics, which I guess is 5 prescriptions. CVS gets ALL my money.
