You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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.

That which does not kill you should RUN

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! :)

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

I just got back from paying my rent, where I found out that another tenant has lodged a complaint against Princess across the hall from me. (Apparently there was a disturbance at 5 a.m. one of the last few days, which I mercifully slept through.) When you're getting noise complaints from college boys, you know you're being inconsiderate of your neighbors!

That's two of her three strikes in two weeks, so I suspect we'll have a new neighbor by this time next month.
