And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

So the recent rain left a stain on my ceiling in the bedroom. Strange given I live on the fist floor and all.

I suspect it's a small water intrusion from my upstairs neighbor coming from his sliding glass door. So I call the management company. They are sending the roofers. Who are arriving at 7am. Lucky I'm that morning person now.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Silver linings, yay?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

But is the upstairs neighbor a morning person?

This was quick. [link] Life comes at you fast, Jim Schneider.

Wow, aurelia. That's kind of awesome but sucky it went on so long!

The joys of Amazon is you can order 24 hr a day. The pitfall is sometimes you misread descriptions.

Purchased a wedge pillow. Was wanting smallish (12"x12" or so) to wedge between back and bed railings. Keep me on my side, and help prevent tail bone from getting too much pressure all night.

Yeah, it's 24x24" Lets see, it might be better, if it fits between me and the handrail. Hospital beds are not queen sized.

And hey I can always use it to elevate my feet. Thankfully it wasn't expensive.

And yes, up early again. Also fell asleep before 10am, so the cough that woke me up didn't inhibit sleep too much. Nurses suggested of sitting as straight up as possible stopped the cough. Not so great on the go back to sleep. Meh.

Lets see if I do the laptop nap again before Mom wakes up.

Our wings are not tired.

Amazon Prime changed my life, still not sure if it was for the good or bad.

I love Amazon Prime, but I feel bad using it all the time. I just don't like going to the store and I can usually wait a few days for whatever I need to get.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

You morning people are not to be trusted.

I took the day off for a day of dr appts.

1st appt (smooshing) is done. En route to appt 2 I have about an hour, so I returned library movie, sold books ($37!), and mailed 3 eBay items. Now it's 30 min to appt, so I should head there.

I spent a lot of my vacation last week bemoaning my lack of human interaction. This week I'm having interaction opportunities popping up (sure, online, but it's still conversation). And there's a panicked weasel flailing around in the back of my mind. Is this an introvert thing? I will grab onto communication like a drowning person, but after a few minutes I start panicking and wanting to run away.

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

I love Amazon Prime, but I feel bad using it all the time.

I hear you. I'm not completely sure I should feel bad, though, so I'm way ambivalent, I guess. Just paid my annual fee for it, though, and that's gone up (probably I agreed to try additional services and am paying extra for those now, I should review that) but boy that instant 2-day shipping that sometimes turns out to be even faster sure does come in handy.

Man, I want to talk about the train of propane tank cars I was waiting for this morning but I need to do actual work. I hope I remember what I wanted to say when I have time to say it...
