That sounds like a very bad birthday, Dana. I'm sorry.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Hope the antibiotics help, Dana. And have a great rescheduled birthday.

Grr. My surgeon just cancelled my appointment for Friday. ltc has camp next week, and I was really hoping to start an exercise program at her school, but now I won't have the all clear to exercise in time.

(If you didn't see on FB, I have rescheduled this year's birthday to some future date.)
Let us know when that is so we can fête you properly.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I turned 42, so I'm tempted by the 24th. That makes it on a Sunday, which is nice for not-working purposes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh Dana, ugh, sj.
My neighbor kid who has watched my cat before is going to be out of town the same time I am, so I have to find another option. I bet my other (adult) neighbors would look in on him for free, but I feel bad asking them to do the litter box. So I guess I need to find an actual cat sitter, which just feels like a pain! And probably more expensive than the neighbor kid? Hmph.

Punishingly Intricate
Oh man I almost got in a screaming match with two separate old white people in line to board my flight who were complaining about pre-boarders.
The man said "I'm sorry to say it but it's like the Starbucks in Philadelphia"
And I repeated, incredulous, and he looked at me like I was agreeing and I was like WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??!!
I was inarticulate with rage so all I could come up wth was "you're what's wrong wth America."
Then another lady next to me complained about the same thing and when I shut her down said I was nasty. Uggggggghhhh
Now I have to somehow concentrate and get a shut ton of work done on this flight.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Whaaaaat? Man, people find ways to be hateful that I just can't even comprehend. I'm sorry, lisah.
