So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

I got out early from work because it was our holiday party, but I haven't used the time. Instead I took a nice long nap.

Work anxiety is leading me to need more down time in the evening to zone out, which is leading to worse sleep deprivation than usual, more work anxiety, and not going to the gym because I'm working late.

I need a week where the most stressful thing I do is play Angry Birds and watch Mythbusters.

There's a fair amount of Hannukah decorations available here in B'more. I snatch up the wrapping paper, because SILVER! BLUES! NO SANTAS.

I can get stamps at the ATM. Why this is a revelation to me, I don't know.

I have a test pattern with a clock instead of Bones.

Insulin prices have really increased in 7 years. I was paying $30-35 when this all started, now it's $65 a vial. And it's just standard Humilin N, which isn't fancypants or anything.

Have Bones now.

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

I have moved from Nutella to some chestnut paste in a tube that I got when Nicole and DH were in town. OMNOMNOMNOM. I've been putting it on digestives, but honestly, I kinda want to just squirt it directly into my mouth.

I opened the tube I bought on the drive home. And, um, squirted it directly into my mouth. Nom. Now I keep hiding it from myself. It works for a few days. Then I find it and eat more.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I do not like nutella. The smell of it makes me feel like vomiting. Weirdly, I used to think it was good.

Because books.

I've never had Nutella, but my guess is I wouldn't like it much.

We just caught the original Grinch on Cartoon Network. Christmas can now begin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Nutella is very tasty. Listen not to the haters. And I'm not a big nut person--I think hazelnut flavoured coffee creamer is the work of the anti-Christ.

Ended up reserving a room at the Courtyard Mariott. My sister did actually consider the hostel, but the one near the wedding was both pretty expensive and sold out anyway.

Haven't booked my airplane ticket yet. It's not that I don't have faith in the happy couple...just, it's a bit fucked up with the secret keeping. But! It will happen. I should just buy my ticket.
