Today was the first day of what have been my 2 bad weeks a month and the new meds seem to only be slightly better. Am administering wine. I tried cleaning up the house a bit, but only managed to get really frustrated.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Cold. Fraking cold. It has been about two months at the library in which we have not had a boiler. The last two days have been miserable. Not sure how I am going to make it until 9 tonight
I hope your week improves msbelle
I'm sorry, sarameg.
I hope Grace's surgery goes/has gone well.
I've been narrating how-to videos for some eLearning projects at work. Apparently I sound like an alto Alan Rickman with a midwest US accent. Why did no one tell me I've been Snape-ing it up all my life?
I went shopping with my mom and sister. My sister works at Old Navy, and they have massive sales and she gets a discount.
She got me 2 pairs of SIZE 12!!!! jeans. For 11.25 each.
They fit. They fit well, and are a little loose in the waist and thighs. WTFF!?!?!?!?!
Also, between the 3 of us, we have ALL THE HANUKKAH GIFTS FOR M! So MUCH angry birds, robost, Phineas and Ferb, ninjas, spaceships and dinosaurs. Mom wouldn't let me give her more than $15.
And they had made a Sam's Club run, and brought GIANT bags of dog and cat food, and 2 giant bags of cat litter. My family is the BEST! She also took us out to lunch and bought me a prime rib sandwich, which is basically an excellent prime rib on a bun. I threw out the bun and snarfed the steak and fries. NOMNOMNOM. I hadn't eaten at all yesterday -- got too busy.
My mom referred to M to a clerk as her "grandson" twice today. For the first time. OMG, so CUTE!
Jesse! Don't go to that place on the internet!
Shit.
Too late, probably.
Too late, probably.
I felt inappropriately touched on the internet and had to close the window. And I will hug many people happily.
sarameg, I'm so sorry. It's so hard.
Frank, what a wonderful thing that your mom is happy and getting the care she needs when she needs it. I hope you are all able to enjoy the lessening of stress with her move.

I thought the hug site was cute! Virtual hugs!
Jesse! Don't go to that place on the internet!
Shit.

It was too late! That place was terrifying!!
Erin, let me recommend never buying jeans that are at all loose, unless you really want them that way, because they always loosen up as you wear them. Just saying.
