Blargh. Had a touch of food poisoning last night, thought it was over and done with, and discovered I was wrong ten minutes ago, before I left for my last physical therapy session.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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

Medical ~ma to Matt's dad and lisah's uncle! And meara and Dana, too.
I'm putting this here so I can be accountable (but I don't want to do it quite as publicly as Facebook) -- I made noises about quitting smoking previously, and I ordered the Alan Carr book about how to do it, but I am going to seriously undertake this in the next few months, including a prescription for Chantix, if needed. I think I'm developing chronic bronchitis, and guess where that comes from unless you're a fragile 19th century fictional heroine?
So. Wish me strength?

Good luck, Amy! Avoiding chronic bronchitis is a worthy goal.
ION, I just ordered a fun looking bag from Betabrand, but am chagrined to realize I won't get it until March, and that only if sufficient other people order it... [link]
Well, in March I may get a nice surprise, of either a new bag, or cash back.

Hurricane Jose, which had been trundling up to New England, is making another loop and appears to be planning to come ashore as a tropical storm or depression in New Jersey. Unless it loops around again.

You can do it, Amy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, Amy!
I hate this edge-of-Jose weather we're having, although I know it's nothing bad. But cloudy for two days, a little windy, SUPER humid, and raining on and off with temps in the 60s is not my favorite.
Why did my meeting at the end of the day turn into discussing Hamilton? Work-related reasons, actually, but here was the funny story: Someone's 10-year-old daughter was very tentative about asking what one of the words meant, because she thought it must be a Bad Word. Which one? Scotsman. Ha!!!

Strength~ma. I used Chantix when I decided to quit smoking about 5 years ago now, and I haven't relapsed yet. You can email me if you want to chat about it.
I'm exhausted and I'm super behind on my inbox because I'm mostly having a lot of meetings while I'm in NYC. The meetings have been productive, but now I am catastrophically behind on everything else.

That's hilarious!
Data point of one, Amy, my friend found Chantix so effective he didn't even take the whole course, because he didn't need it anymore. You can do it!

I want Matt to know that description presented most vividly. That was really something.

Thanks, people! I am definitely going to need some cheerleading, I think. And shrift, I may take you up on that -- Chantix is one of those drugs where the possible side effects make me a little wary.
But cloudy for two days, a little windy, SUPER humid, and raining on and off with temps in the 60s is not my favorite.
Same, except here the temp is near 80 every day, and I hate it. I want fall.
