It’s pouring here and looks like it will keep raining for the rest of time?

Definitely a good thing I uncovered all the patio furniture and got the hose hooked up and thoroughly watered the lawn and garden yesterday. It’s been raining since at least 6 AM here.

I’m looking forward to finding time to watch the Paul Reubens doc.

Happy Birthday, Gud! My birthday wish for you is that you recieve as much love as you give.

Also it is raining here in Connecticut. I am very tired of sorting my sweaters for storage because it's 75 degrees, but then the next few days are in the 60s.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I went to a massage therapist yesterday for my pulled quad muscle, and it helped a lot! It feels like 75% better, which is excellent. I'll see her again in a couple of weeks and maybe it'll get completely un-ouchy.

Human bodies require so much maintenance, I tell you what.

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

I hate car repairs.

I adjusted some things on my car insurance and was all excited because it saved me over $100 on the 6 month premium.

Then the quote for repairs needs on my car, non-working locks, under carriage cover replacement with the braces it connects to. $3500.

Bleargh.

Yikes, msbelle. Would it be worth taking to another mechanic for a second quote?

I’ve been asked to come in for a second interview for one of the jobs I’ve applied to. Yay! I’m not sure if it’s right for me, but that’s part of what interviews are for.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So I had this (I presume) ganglion cyst on my top knuckle of my middle finger and it was getting big and uncomfortable enough that I was going to discuss it at my next doctor's appointment in a few months and then...

Had too much champagne at a work thing, closed my hand in the fire door when I went to walk the dog - problem solved.

Hurt like hell for about eight seconds when it happened, tender now but not as bad as when the cyst was pre-rupture. I just keep mushing it and hoping it won't come back. Die! Die!

Ouch! Ow! Yikes! I hurt just thinking about it. FWIW, I have good luck using coconut oil on cysts.

Punishingly Intricate

The “traditional” method for getting rid of ganglon cysts is to smack them with a bible so…

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Perhaps it was a blessed fire door.
