I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

My children are driving me nuts. They still haven't made it to my place. I'm glad I didn't wait for them. I've dropped cookies off at the dojo, picked up my prescriptions, and am mid-pedicure. I may treat myself to a movie after this as I kinda want to avoid confronting them when they do show up.

I've been working hard this last week to get rid of stuff that doesn't need to move. I'm trying to get as much done before Thursday as possible. CJ hasn't done a thing and I haven't pushed cause I'm going to be dependent on his help post surgery. K-Bug is moving next weekend and between school, work, and moving, she won't be able to help me at all post surgery. I just asked for help today moving a couch. And that is now a struggle and I don't have the spoons.

Sorry for the rant. I hate asking for help as it is. But when I do and you agree.... Grrrrr.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I woke this morning from a dream that Phillip Seymour Hoffman needed dimmable fluorescent fixtures from me and I was out of them because of the two shows I have going on.

Experimental data!

Good to know, Consuela. That just reaffirms my approach to cold medicine. I only take it at night so I can get uninterrupted sleep and let my sinuses/lungs/whatever do what they will during the day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had a dream this morning where apparently Lee, Allyson, and I were roommates, because all we were talking about was grocery shopping. Exciting!

I almost didn't go to the liquor store on my way home, because I thought my (semi) friend's husband would be working, but I realized that was ridiculous and went anyway, and he wasn't there! So that's good. And now I have wine.

My roommate said she'd pick up some stuff for me when she went to the store in the "morning". I think I'm going to go out, mucus and all, and pick up the stuff I actually really do need. Harumph.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Pulled myself together enough to make a salad for lunch, watched the Colbert Book Club, and went for my run. And the song I wanted came up on shuffle and played no problem, so yay for inelegant fixes.

That's week 3 of my zombie training complete! Feels good. I might even look for a 5K to sign up for.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I woke this morning from a dream that Phillip Seymour Hoffman needed dimmable fluorescent fixtures from me and I was out of them because of the two shows I have going on.

I had a dream last night that John Barrowman was doing my laundry. No, seriously. I can't even get my subconscious to get on that.

Heh. Except for Phil (it's been a couple of years since he was around), my dream was very reflective of my work week.

I find myself completely out of milk, eggs and bread. I can't figure out if that makes me a winter storm failure or cliche.

Back from a quick grocery run to Target, which while it didn't have all the stuff that I regularly get, has enough to keep me fixed up, and is much less crowded on a Saturday afternoon for this sort of thing.

The roommate, she typed darkly, has yet to leave the house.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I got up and ordered a case for my new phone, then met a bunch of people for brunch. I went with jalapeno biscuits & sausage gravy, which was an excellent choice. Then I picked up a new micro SIM at the Tmobile store, and also went to Target. I dropped off all the stuff I bought there and went to Walgreens. Now I've got laundry in the dryer and I'm going to watch stuff on Hulu while playing Candy Crush for a bit, because I'm tired.

I've now been to a sample sale (running clothes, mostly for my ex-roommate but a few things for me), the doctor (yes, I have pinkeye), the pharmacy, and then a different doctor's office (yes, he agrees I should have a sleep study done). Now I don't even want to finish doing the laundry that is in the washer and dryer. Bleh. Also feel like I can't go out or hang out with anyone, while I've got pinkeye.
