>Co-workers are discussing the Green Arrow drinking game. "Mention the island, take a drink. Slade shows up, a drink. Oliver's shirtless, take a drink." "Dude, you'd die."

You have to add, "Anytime someone asks everyone else to leave the room so they can talk."

I am sorry for all the cold weather people who do not enjoy the cold weather. warm layers and beverages to you all.

I slept in for the second day in a row and I figured out why I feel like death warmed over (but not flu-y, flu is going around and I decidedly DO NOT have the flu). My body which is supposed to be in full blown menopause, we took hormone levels and everything, decided that we are not done yet. 5 months of nothing and now a full blown period?!?! Jesusita body, that is not nice. So everything hurts and I am exhausted.

Today is the day I make mac drive again. He is an adamant no, but he needs to see that I believe in him and that he can drive and survive. so, we will run an errand and he WILL drive.

Not much more on the agenda for the day, maybe listing things on ebay. I did a second run of books to the half-price books yesterday, but did not get nearly the amount I did the day before, only $5.25. Several of the books were things from college that I am finally accepting that I will never read or reference again, oh hello philosophy books. Despite them being of no value, it did feel good to let go and create some space on the book shelves. They are still hopelessly overstacked, but it's a start. Reading has to happen in 2018.

ugh, msbelle, I get it. Every time my body decides to have an actual period, I regret it.

good mom

I realized what I can do/need to get done today: holiday cards - getting them out around New Years still counts, right?

Absolutely! That is a good one, I might do those also.

Ever the optimist, I already bought mine for next year.

hippocampus - Aristocratic Extraterrestrial Time-traveling Thieves?

My body did that to me after over a year. I was pissed.

Way to go getting mac back on the horse, as it were.

I have come to the realization that designing a robot to do my job would be way more interesting than doing my job. I wonder if I can do something with that idea...

Mac is super not happy and stressed about driving. Understandable but annoying. He is being super cautious and hesitant.

He is being super cautious and hesitant.

Not a bad thing in a teenaged boy in a car.

I can see that experience being hard to put behind him. Hang in there, the both of you.

Timelies all!

Not as cold here as some Buffista locations, but still too cold for me. Luckily I don't have to go out again tonight.
