Ugh Steph, I hope all those meds do the trick, and quick! Glad you went to see the doctor

Weirdness. Was trying to watch Jane the Virgin before I leave on my trip today and when I started it, it was playing in both English and Spanish simultaneously. Hard to hear! I fiddled with settings and it seems to be fixed now. But I do think it's kind of awesome if they simulcast it in Spanish!

Meanwhile: should really be packing (I packed most of it last night but need to rearrange, and make sure I didn't forget anything). I'm so over work right now, but have a bunch I need to do...

ETA: Yay drugs, Teppy!

I was surprised it was that bad, but gratified that I didn't go to the doctor for a minor issue.

Yeah I know what you mean. It's weird to find out you were sicker than you realized.

Which reminds me, I need to make an appointment for my yearly physical.

I've got the furnace guy coming in tomorrow. I have a weird old furnace that lives in the crawlspace under the house. MOst of the furnace techs get a look of horror when they see what they have to crawl into. I'd like to tip the poor guy, but I'm not sure if that's done.

"I told you I was sick"

You could offer him cookies, Connie? If tipping isn't done. Cookies are always okay, right?

On a whim, I looked to see what the employee discount would be on our super fancy copper cookware from Italy. I should not have done that. I think I have talked myself into not buying some right now...maybe later, if I get this scrambled egg cooking figured out and work out the pot rack situation.

I swear I'm going to go full out Mommie Dearest on my roommate one of these days, but instead of wire hangers, it will be cutlery and dishes from the dishwasher, once again put into in in every wrong way you can think of, and some which you'd swear were physically impossible.

Why is gravity so hard for her to understand?

Me to my mom: "I'm kind of sad about my maternity leave ending. It's going to be hard to be away from Jane all day."

My mom: "Yeah, I'm glad I didn't have to do that when you and your brother were young. It would have been too hard."

Um, thanks?

Why is gravity so hard for her to understand?

How close are you to deciding it would be easier to just take over loading the dishwasher since she's so bad at it? t /conspiracy-theorizing

So, I'm wearing my new animal print shirt (I think it's a sort of pastiche of several big cat patterns - classier than it probably sounds, I hope (but I am not attempting to wear it with the new pleather skirt, went with my favorite black dress pants today)) and one of my coworkers told me it looks good with my complexion. That's always so nice, especially since it isn't something I would have thought (not that I think it looks bad, but I never considered Tawny Lion a flattering color on me)

Timelies all!

Watching last week's Doctor Who, then baseball.
