I got my second shingles shot today.
Oh man, I have a huge welt from my first shingles shot (that I got Wednesday morning). It's almost comical.
The whole earth may be sucked into Hell, and you want my help 'cause your girlfriend's a big ho?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I often have the urge to get into the car and just drive to Oklahoma. It's not that far, and then I will have been to Oklahoma.

Have you not been to Oklahoma, Dana?
It's been a while since I had the urge to just drive away. I kind of could right now, pack up the cat and the laptop and go. Maybe that's why doing it is less appealing, I wouldn't be leaving anything behind.

I've had the impulse to abandon my job, my apartment, everything, and just (as they say) light out for the territories. But I am (dammit) a grown-up and too old to start over.
For ltc - try a heating pad or something warm. I had constant infections (ear, sinus, throat) and warmth would help the ears.

I have never been to Oklahoma. I wonder how long it takes to get to Arkansas from here, where I have also never been.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I never have the impulse to run away, because I already ran to the one place I want to stay.
I do, periodically, have the impulse to hunker down and not leave San Francisco though.
Just talked to our Realtor and he squeezed $15k out of the seller to deal with the undocumented HVAC issues. We're about two weeks from the close of Escrow and we've been warned the lenders will want ridiculous amounts of documentation about every little thing and there will be so many things to sign.
But we are still on glide path for landing [knock wood] so far.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Am I remembering right that you are in Houston, Dana? That doesn't seem terribly far to either OK or AR, although driving 5 miles to get lunch DOES seem pretty far right now so I am no judge of distance

Dallas now. Many hours closer to both OK and AR.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I've been through Oklahoma and Arkansas during cross country drives as a kid.
I cannot recommend them, though I do remember Arkansas as being hilly/mountainous and pretty. Which you cannot say about OK.
Emmett is going to be in Oklahoma in April for Maggie the Girl's wedding!
