Much better, Tep!
My internet/phone/cable is down -- really it's the whole neighborhood. It's forcing me to do stuff like clean the house. feh.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Steph, I'm glad to hear he's doing better. Eating real food (as opposed to alcohol and junk food) should be a help. There's a reason alcohol is referred to as "empty calories" (says the daughter of an alcoholic father and pill poppin' mama).

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I wonder if your SIL knows my friend here in Seattle who is a coffee buyer (and who travels to places like Indonesia and South America and Ethiopia, for the coffee).
She's a buyer for Allegro coffee, which is a Whole Foods brand. She's traveled pretty much everywhere for coffee, between this job and her former job at Green Mountain Coffee. She's in Myanmar now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That all sounds good, Tep. Now I want tacos, guacamole and coffee.
Headaches and internet/phone/cable outages I give the stinkeye.
I pretty much squandered the morning by sleeping in and finishing my book and general dilly-dallying, but I've got a load of laundry in the washer now, so that's a step in the right direction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm sad I'm about to use up my Rwandan coffee, but I bet I can get more... We were just pondering if our folks in Mexico could get any there, or if it all goes straight to GMCR, I mean Kuerig.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The little guy keeps going back and forth across the fever line. His temp was borderline, so we brought him to daycare. He was fussy and his fever went up while there, so they called Gary to get him. Gary called me, but I didn't hear the phone ring(its usually in my purse, in a desk drawer) so I didn't know about it until I was about to leave for the day. Now I feel guilty.

Dag, I was hoping when Theo said "the neighborhood," it didn't also mean me, but alas! No cable, no internet.

Went out to lunch with one of my co-workers today to a new bakery/deli that opened up down the street from my apt. Extremely nice, has the feel of a cafe in an antique store or book shop. The food was really good, enough so that I didn't mind the kind of high price but instead regard it as a flipped mealtime with dinner for lunch and a lighter salad/quinoa dinner tonight. I had the herb-roasted trout with saffron rice and green beans: [link]
