my dog has fleas. I have vacuumed and I sprayed my bed this morning. dog got a fleabath last week and I did a bunch of laundry, but I saw a few fleas this morning. Of course now I itch all over which is stupid.

sarameg, you remind me of Hubby, who on the evening of spinal surgery would be doing slow laps of the hospital floor while the nurses would be telling the man in the next room, who was three days past his surgery, that he had to try to sit up, never mind stand up and walk to the en suite toilet. His doctor learned to add 5 to any pain scale reference. "Your pain can't just be a 3, one of the screws in the plates in your spine has come loose." "It's not as bad as a kidney stone, doc. And I've had a bilateral retrograde."

ION, the medieval/renaissance music concert was quite pleasant. I had minor, impersonal chatting about knitting and music, listened to very nice music, and remembered I really like crumhorns. Unfortunately, competing perfumes had me going for my inhaler at the end of it. Most of the events are at 7 PM on weeknights, though, and I don't get out of work till 6 and I work half an hour away. I'm going to have to see if there will be events where it won't matter if I show up late.

msbelle, 20 Mule Team Borax for all surfaces. Trust me.

Sorry MAC is a pill. He'll regret it eventually you but it sucks getting through. A lot.

The exciting thing is that I can go to urgent care, which won't cost me anything right now, and try to get them to give me a prescription. Which will also not cost me. So, yay? Glad the end of the world coincided with my year of high health costs?

I hit my limits on Rx and probably everything. It's a depressing yay.

Sarajevo, pillows against tummywhen you cough until you can tighten you ab core.

Go, Laura! How satisfying .

Yay Laura!

Congrats to Laura and co.

OMG- we live in western ny- why can no one drive like a normal person in snow. I have been on my bus for an hour and a half and I am not even half way through my trip. It isn't the bus driver- everyone is driving so slow it takes forever to get through stop lights!

Sophia, I've been meaning to say that I've thinking about you. NPR has a professor from Rochester on for some science thing every week now and my brain says, "Sophia (really your real name) lives in Rochester." Every. Single. Time. Good vibes to Buffistas being triggered by NPR.

Oh no! Now Jesse's Mom has no sole.

HA. Although I hope I didn't curse poor Jesse's mom.

My 9AM meeting was canceled and my boss is out sick today. Today might be okay.
