She has severe rheumatoid arthritis.
smonster beat me to it, but she does have some severe anxiety issues, too.
Speaking of arthritis, though, Ginger, the Biofreeze is really helping my finger joints. Thank you!

I don't know that I'd trade for the severity of her anxiety and arthritis issues. I think blogging is as close as she gets to a "dayjob" - her weekly round up includes a number of columns for newspapers and such.
Ah-ha. That I did not know.
She's the one who made the haunted doll house, right? Because that I am WILDLY and unashamedly covetous of.

Hmm, I might need to try Biofreeze.
If The Bloggess came to an f2f, she'd spend the whole thing in a stairwell. [link]
PS. I’m also co-hosting the 5th annual People’s Party at Blogher this year. As always, I will be hiding in the bathroom the entire time, as my anxiety disorder has never actually allowed me to attend any of the parties I’ve hosted. This is not an exaggeration.
tommyrot, fingers crossed those trends continue.
eta yes, she made the haunted doll house. Is making, I think it's a work forever in progress. Did you see the baby duck vampire slayer she made, Jilli?

There are a lot of reasons like this that some writers like to be at home, writing.

Biofreeze is great stuff.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
ION, recycling problems: what do I do with (a) mostly-unused shampoo and conditioner I used until I decided I didn't like them, and (b) the basically (but not totally) empty foundation bottle?
smonster already said, but I will add that hair conditioner is a great substitute for shaving cream.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Your not-quite-totally empty foundation bottle can go in the recycling (assuming it has an appropriate number for your local program). For the other stuff, if you don't mind the scent you could go the Flylady "soap is soap" route and use it to clean your toilet. You could also offer it up to friends who might want to try it. And really, it's not the end of the world to put it in the recycling bin if it's not empty. The rinsing thing is largely to keep away pests that would make people go "eww" and not recycle.
Awesome, thank you! The shampoo/conditioner is now-ancient drugstore stuff, so I'll just dump it. Possibly in the toilet and/or tub, for cleaning purposes.

Oh! Yes! Actually, I use shampoo for shaving now. Works way better than any shaving cream, gel, or oil I ever used before.

Also an excellent idea! I am so glad I asked.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In some good news--the forecast is for 64 degrees and sunny next tuesday.
