Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It's often almost fun to clean someone else's house. And it can be fun to have somebody come help you clean yours.

It's when locked away in the dank dark dungeon of my own house that it sucks to clean. Bored, bored, bored.

Also: Yay you, Zen, for helping out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What a great friend you are, Zen!

Why Folic Acid only comes in 400mg tablets (I'm supposed to take 1000/day) while there are 15 variations of fish oil right next to it I don't understand.

I'd guess it's because Women Who Might Be Pregnant are supposed to take 400mg/day, but that's without looking it up.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

You can get a prescription for the 1000 mg folic acid. I have to take 4 of the 1000s a day because of the SB.

I do not need light showers on the day the roofer is coming.

Our wings are not tired.

Nice, Zen! It is wonderful that you were able to help her make some progress.

Hoping I can actually depart tomorrow and get back to Florida. Sitting here in sweats, and a jacket, with a blanket over me. Dang newfangled computer monitor doesn't even give off heat. The space heaters will do their thing soon enough, but mornings are chilly. DH has gone to town and is bringing me back warm breakfast treats.

The construction dudes are outside working finishing up assembling and painting new screens for my windows. It is still in the 30s! Mountain men with thicker blood than me. (I expect them to point and laugh at me when they see me bundled up inside through said windows)

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

GNC actually carries it, sj, it just means I have yo make a special trip just for that instead of remembering I am low when I'm at Target. Or take two pills on even numbered days and three on odd, which I assume works out the same over time....

Sigh, my Joss Whedon is My Master shirt floated to the top of the laundry pile. Forgot all about that; it's pretty disturbing now.

You are a delicate tropical flower, Laura. No shame in that.

Roofers are here. Thumping & banging has commenced. I hate watching people on ladders.

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

Yesterday was high 70's. This morning is gorgeous, but we are expecting snow this afternoon. I'll be shocked if anything sticks. But this means I'm expecting an air pressure change headache...wish there was a good way to proactively stop it from happening.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Guess I'm angling for some earworms because my brain did this:

For the first year in forever
There'll be music, there'll be light...

some brands of vitamins supposed to be better than others
Some girls' mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers...

dig herself out
Dig me out, dig me in, out of this mess, baby out of my head
