Couches are for flipping over, obviously.

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

Dog is using kid as pillow, that is a smart dog.
So I have already had two phone calls and answered five questions this morning. Knocking them down!
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.

Actually, the recommendation is less starchy carbs and more exercise, which I already knew I should be doing (but currently am not).
Also, I just looked it up, and the AHA uses 240 as a cutoff for "high" cholesterol, while my doctor uses 200, which is some kind of bullshit. Mine is 210, and after looking up the AHA's cutoffs, I feel just fine about my numbers.
But I need to get back to exercising and fewer cookies, damn it.

But my doctor didn't message me about wanting to put me on Lipitor, so I'm taking the win.
I will, however, NOT tell my Dad what my cholesterol is, because he -- for real -- thinks that if you are able to get your total cholesterol down to only 2 digits, you should. So he'll interpret the high end of normal as OMG YOU WILL DIE IN TWO SECONDS IN FACT YOU MIGHT BE DEAD NOW HAVE YOU CHECKED.

Cash flow can bite me. Today is just a circus of trying to get enough clients to pay so that I can keep on top of my payables. Why must business suck so hard at paying things on time.

This woman on The People's Court is wearing a plush two-foot-long fish around her neck.

Oh, dear god, they just showed a picture of her in a village in Africa, and she's wearing the same fish.
I mean, I guess it would be worse if it was a different fish.
