holy shit. the friend whose mom died on Thursday, that then stayed with me til today. He bought me a new flatscreen tv. Holy Shit.

Damn, msbelle! Nice friend.

Admirable restraint, Dana. Do they know who Starbucks is? Any of them? Doubt it.

Found my stupid badge wedged between the driver's seat and the console where Istg I looked first, but of course I couldn't see it until I looked EVERYWHERE else and resigned myself to needing to get a new one.

What I'm actually annoyed with myself about is that I lost track of time and stayed st work nearly an hour longer than I should have and when I dashed over to the DMV it was still open (I think) but the parking lot was full to overflowing and I could not bring myself to park in the empty lot nearby and trudge over. So I still have going to the DMV to look forward to.

Ah, well. On the right side, Fairfield is having their restaurant week now so I stopped by a taqueria on the way home. They have corned beef tacos for St. Patrick's Day week so of course I got one. Delish. And excellent horchata.

Ooooh. I needs dis.

However, I feel like I'm fighting a cold (a gift from my husband), so I made gluten-free ramen tonight. I haven't had ramen in SO LONG. The noodles were perfect! (But gluten-free ramen noodles are NOT cheap like regular ramen, damn it.)

That's awesome, msbelle.

I personally met Mr. Starbucks once, and thought he was kind of a jerk, so I'm glad Mr. PJ won the ritual duel that awarded him possession of the airport coffee fountain.

Dang, that's awesome, msbelle!

I will cross my fingers that it doesn't turn into what I have. I lost my voice Friday night, Mr. Loomy phoned the on-call doc yesterday to go over my symptoms, and they said I should go to an urgent care clinic. I don't have pneumonia, yay? (That was an option.) And now I have the amazing cough suppressant pills, which are magic.

Tessalon Pearls?

Also, I still have to check on the zombie bunnies for you. I have been slacking.

I went skiing in the mountains yesterday, and had a great day with my sister, felt great (other than sore knees from too many bump runs). Today? Sore throat, coughing, headache. Bollocks.

I decided I should skip chorus in case I'm infectious. Bah.

So for the first time since I moved into this house in 2000, I rolled the tv into my bedroom and I'm drinking ginger-turmeric tea with honey and watching Seth Myers on Youtube.

May all y'all be well. ::coughs::

ginger-turmeric tea

From TJs? I have that, and it's really good.

Tessalon Pearls?

Yes. I want to start a religion around them.

Mmmmm, zombie bunnies! Whenever you get to them.

It really is.

Man, I thought it would be okay to get sick and catch up on tv, but I forgot getting sick means I have only a limited attention span.
