Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Yeah, allergic. If my googling is anything to go by there should have been less than 3 oz of almonds in there, probably way less, which should be manageable. The "E3 Live Cocktail" is actually making me feel better (I read the ingredients of this one first) and I have more benadryl. As long as I stay awake for the drive home I think I'll be okay. It's just, you know, stupid. I have been reading ingredient lists all my life, why skip this one?

We get sent to a local lab for drug tests, Quest Diagnostics. I think I probably paid for it but I don't remember.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The ballot consisted of six judicial positions, five of which were uncontested.

My all-time favorite ballot was judges in NYC -- it was all the same names listed under each party.

Turns out I was trying to pass it over the top of the stall because I was standing up, and she was expecting me to pass it under the stall because she was sitting.

Ha!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

-t, I'm so glad you're OK.

Where are you staying?

I have no idea yet. This literally just came up today. The meeting is with Harris County, and it could be at their facility or the Flood Control facility. Trying to decide if I should just stay close to the airport.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Which airport? I forget if you're a Southwest person or not.

Regardless, I usually work from home on Wednesdays, so Thursday would probably be better for me. But if you're flying out Thursday evening, I can swap my schedule around.

Delta, so IAH. Unless Hobby is cheaper; I haven't even checked.

Flying in on Wednesday, meeting is at 2 pm on Thursday, then heading directly to the airport after. Such is my life for these meetings.

Okay, I can do Wednesday dinner or Thursday lunch, in that case. Just let me know.

Edit: Or Wednesday lunch, depending when you get in.

I do not like this coconut water. I'm pretty sure I've had coconut water that tasted fine, but this does not fit that bill. This cleanse is not doing to well for me taste-wise, one out of four I would drink again (two yet to try).

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So yesterday we had a public holiday here. It was for the Melbourne Cup. I believe Melbourne is the only place in the world that gets a day off for a horse race. Starting this year too, we got a public holiday on the Friday before the footy grand final.

There are occasions when I love this city. (Of course, I got to spend my Melbourne Cup Day doing an exam, because apparently Melbourne Uni doesn't recognise such frivolity; but the point still stands.)

I guess Derby Day is already on a weekend.

Made it to the end of the day! Popping another benadryl and going home to probably sleep.
