Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I was just thinking the same thing -t.

First part of root canal was fine. I actually went to school with my endodontist. He was part of the popular crowd. I was the class freak. So we did not speak of high school. (Though I remember him a bit from Jr. High and he wasn't so bad.)

I have to go back in 10 days to finish it up. The important part was that I didn't freak out or forget how to breathe during the drilling. And he has A++ freezing skills.

I am grading. Well, writing comments. The students do not get grades. I have 2 more to do before I can go to bed (and then 4 more to do in the morning.)

I hate grading.

I did some work today but not as much as hoped. And have to write reports in my hotel room in a few. But I did manage to go get a pedicure, so that's good.

Suzi, taper off is not "stop abruptly"! Silly.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Yeah. I'm discovering that. I should send an email to my doc to see how long it should take to quit feeling like shit.

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

Good job getting through the drilling, Sue! Sparkly tooth sticker.

We have reached flan tempaerature! Finally! It's been a learning experience. Everything will be better once I drill a hole through the top of the cooler.

I still have no popsicles, but I am full of yummy roast pork so I'm okay with that. I should look out for future -t and make popsicles happen, though.

So they started demolishing my kitchen today: [link]

Yikes! I have to admit, the floor does not look promising under all that. I may have to get a new floor put in after all...

I have successfully made baba ghanoush! It was super delicious. I could eat it all summer. I feel like I deserve some sort of sticker, like Adventurous Cook! or maybe It's About Time You Learned, Sweetheart!

Yipes, Consuela! I hope you have hefty libations on hand.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

It is my Lyrica. My doc has said, in the past, that I can try tapering off to see if the nerve pain comes back or not. Last time I tapered, the pain came back so I went back to my standard dose. Thus time I just screwed up, but no nerve pain so far.

Oh, yeah, you'll have withdrawal symptoms with Lyrica.

Yeah. I'm discovering that. I should send an email to my doc to see how long it should take to quit feeling like shit.

Depending on the dosage you were taking, it could be longer than a week.
