Our wings are not tired.

even though the reforms are badly needed, these specific reforms are a mess and could lead to an Italian version of BREXIT

I've been following that a bit. It is indeed a mess but really unclear which direction the frustrated masses will go on it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We have not made any of those kinds of trips but did buy things we probably didn't really need to get points to push us over the edge for companion status on Southwest. Worth it, though. I'll fly free for a year every time we fly together on Southwest. (Like to Costa Rica in January)

Oh wow, that's worth a lot!

If you can't find your guest pass, spring for a day pass. Yes, you're spending money, but it will be worth it.

Yeah, that's basically my plan.

Ooh, totally worth it!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I am a crazy person and just booked a day trip to the airport in order to keep my airline status for another year (not the highest status, but still a status with bennies...if I fly...). $125 to leave hella early, fly to LAX, spend all day at the airport working (at least, that's my plan--hoping I can find my guest pass to the lounge) and then fly home. But the only time it was cheap was on Tuesday or Wednesdays, otherwise I might've tried weekend in LA!

I went to St. Louis for lunch. This year I'm not close enough (sob).

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

I should probably change the rewards cards I have that give me airline miles since I hardly every fly. Or maybe fly more. I've never had any status that needed maintaining, though.

I didn't know about all that, Maria, good luck to Italy.

Dictionary.com announced their Word of the Year for 2016: Xenophobia. Wonder who what could have brought that on?

easy to do really unwise things on that drug because it makes you feel so good.

Like go swimming? Because if I feel this normal tomorrow after I take it when I get home, I just might. Because honestly, this is the most like myself I've felt in 3 days. (But also, flighty enough that no way can I work or drive on this shit. )

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Surgery~ma, sara.

Woke up yesterday with itchiness on my right pinky. Scratched it a bit, until I realized there were three raised bumpson the back of it. I have not been scratching it, but every time that finger brushes something, the bumps get redder and larger. One of the bumps has started oozing. I have no idea what has caused this, nor do I know what to do. Cortizone creams do not work on me. Meh.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

That weird feeling you might have just started experiencing is me, giving you the STINKEYE all the way from Ohio. Don't go swimming when you're on opiates for acute pain. If you can't work or drive while taking it, swimming is right out. Seriously, please avoid bodies of water.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

lisah, totally worth it! You and Bob should be just taking weekend trips anywhere Southwest flies!

Sara, what La Tep said. Please don't. The pool will be there after you're off the hydrocodone.
