I'm having a worlds collide moment. An old HS friend on FB just posted about capybaras! This moment is only made collidier by the fact that said acquaintance happens to also be FB friends with another buffista, but no it's not our capybara-loving Aussie. Capybaras are the new black. Who knew?
"Switched At Birth" has had an ongoing joke about capybaras recently -- three of the teenage characters have a band, and they want to make a video, but one of them insists that they need to do some kind of video that will be noticed, not just shots of them playing, and his idea is something that involves a capybara (we never see details of what, exactly, the capybara will be doing in the video.) So they try various jobs and not-really-legal ventures to try to make enough money to be able to rent the capybara.
I am hands down in enough pain today to take a sick day, except no sick days in January. Well, not before the 29th. Deployment Sunday, which I have talked my way out of being present for, and deployments next Friday and next Sunday. I really have to work out how to pace myself.
Also, I should have filled my new prescription for anti-emetics and picked them up from the pharmacy. Because I can't find my older pills. But that's nothing like the panic I had when I couldn't find the painkillers this morning. Oyveh.

Oof, ita !. I hope the day improves somehow.
Oh, ita ! I am so sorry.
Separately, have I said thank you enough to all of you and especially msbelle and Amy and -t and JZ and Juliana for all the help and encouragement and bossiness. I quite literally din't think I could have done this without you, but with you all, I am pretty much ready for the movers, who won't be here for another two hours.
Lee, tons of moving~ma for today!
I thought many helpful thoughts at you, Lee. Really.
Good luck with the move.
You can do it, Lee!
I am so the anti-motivator. I'd be all "Sit down! Drink some more! Where are your Community DVDs again? Enh, moving, whatever".
I was on the phone with the tester, and she suddenly screamed and said that I needed to be in the office stat. The source of her discomfiture? The project manager's shoes. He's wearing them today because his boss is out--he's already been called into her office and told to tone it down for other shoes.
It took them five minutes of futzing and two iPhones, but they sent me the picture, and my response was "That was on purpose?? You weren't mugged by a graffiti artist on acid?"
He took it pretty well, considering how hideously rude that was.
I considered uploading the pic to share with you, but I thought that would be overly invasive. So I googled "really colourful Asics", and they were result #6.
My eyes are dilating right now, but whoa shoes and yay Lee!
Those shoes look like they escaped from
Yellow Submarine.
