May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Sophia, sometimes you have to squeeze a little, too. Just don't go overboard.

There is literally no needle coming out. No matter what I turn it up to-- My cat barfed on the directions and I threw them out, and I thought I could figure it out, but alas, I am doing something very wrong.

Because books.

Oh, I meant squeeze your finger. If the needle isn't coming out of the sticker, then I don't know what the deal is. Get a new one?

I would like a do-over on today, please.

The glucose test is really insult enough. You definitely deserve a do-over, or at least a big piece of chocolate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Kate, I'm pretty sure your Delicate Condition means you can't stay in a no-heat office. You'd better go home and wrap yourself in a blanket, maybe have some nice soup.

And chocolate. Chocolate helps keep you warm (if you can stomach anything sweet after the gross glucose).

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Heh, thanks, y'all. The office has warmed up considerably since I got here at 9:30, thank god. It's actually a beautiful day in Nashville -- 62 degrees at the moment -- so it's not bad right now, but the first hour or so I was here was pretty unpleasant.

And chocolate. Chocolate helps keep you warm (if you can stomach anything sweet after the gross glucose).

Normally I would be all over this, but I really don't feel like eating anything else sweet today! I thought I'd get some tea after the appointment, to wake myself up, but I'm not a fan of unsweetened black tea, and I really didn't want anything even the least bit sweet, so no tea for me.

I had as a federal employee, sigh. I had like 3 weeks of accrued sick leave when I left the government, and since I won't be re-hired within a year, it's just gone. Damn it.

Oh how I feel your pain. I had 600 hours plus of sick leave. Would that I had gotten a payout for that!

Argh! Really. 600 hours! My heart bleeds.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Teppy should give you her Godiva!

...No?

If only I were closer (and she wanted it), I would give up at least a couple of pieces.

I am back, surprised at how much chocolate I got for $20 (the large chocolate bars were 4/$10, so that helped). I also found one bra (not at Godiva; at Dillard's) that I bought so I can test it out. Er, not really to wear all day or anything, because I would feel guilty returning a bra that I sweated all over. But I just want to take it home and try it under different shirts and get Tim's opinion, since I just squint at the fat beneath my armpits and then readjust my boobs and wonder how it's all really supposed to look (fat included).

It seems like a good bra -- super comfortable, so that right there means it's most likely a keeper -- but I need the opinion of someone who's seen me in many bras before.

Oh ouch. That's where you try to negotiate (well, NSM in Consuela's case) a bonus from the new company to make up for your pain! :)
