Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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

Holy shit, flea. That's way too close. Glad you're all okay. Hope everyone else is too.

I vote Librarians and then Elementary.

Oh, I weighed myself at the hospital yesterday and I've lost about 5 pounds. That's not awful. I've been forced to modify my bad eating habits while living with my skinny little sister and her diabetic BF. I'm hoping I can carry on with the new plan after I go back home.

I'd pay a large sum of cash for some good potato chips though.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Yikes, flea! Glad you took that pause!

I just saw a production of Great Expectations set in India under the British Raj. Indian Pip was delightful!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds amazing, in a period of forced inactivity!

My job is hilarious. Everything is super down to the wire today, some because the fiscal year ends, some because apparently everyone is going on vacation today. So I have already had two phone calls and answered five questions this morning. Knocking them down!

Oh, cool!

Interesting take on "chilling". Most people would do that on a couch.

They'll learn.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Couches are for flipping over, obviously.

Dog is using kid as pillow, that is a smart dog.

They better not get the fuck back up again!

I've also been unfucking shit this morning, and I'm only now eating breakfast.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My cholesterol is not Velveeta! It went down, but is still a hair over the upper limit of normal, which honestly doesn't concern me. My LDL (the "bad" cholesterol) went down as well, from borderline high to normal. My HDL (the "good" cholesterol) went down, which is not awesome, but it's okay. But my triglycerides went from normal to "congratulations, you are a Lang." (They're 197; anything over 199 is considered high, so I'm still barely borderline.)

My glucose is a hair over the upper limit of normal, but that doesn't concern me overmuch.

I have to google how to lower triglycerides, but I'm pretty sure the answer is "less sugar," which seems to be the answer to everything, damn it.

Cheese doesn't have much sugar, surely.
