Chilli aigs are indeed good, just not at breakfast, especially unexpectedly. It made my coffee taste all chilli-ey as well, and yā€™donā€™t mess with my morninā€™ coffee. In other news, I think I shall not be leafletting today- itā€™s awful weather, I have tmi girliness, only slept about 2 hours, and I ainā€™t sure driving round without predictable bathroom access is the best plan for today. Hopefully I can just switch for tomorrow, by which time I should be a happier little orange. Blurf. ---

Good Morninā€™ Yā€™all! Up, caffienated, and purtified for irk already. 'Tis 73 Amurrkin out and rainy/stormy with a predicted high of 78 and rain/tstorms/apocalypse all day. Looks like the weather PTB got that right this time. šŸ˜ƒ Anywho, all purtified because I decided to do that ahead of the predicted tstorms and I did good. Da bear does not like to be in the shower when itā€™s lightninā€™. :eek: **flytrap** yay for the good news there. **Nuts** hope youā€™re over the chili aigs and well, just feel better now. **Nettie** that sounds evile! Go for it! šŸ˜ƒ Ok, rumbly tummy wants sustenance so I shall give it a bowl of cereal and milk. Then, I must head off to the irkplace. Happy Tuesday Yā€™all! ---

tl;dr I had my anal probe yesterday. There were no signs of ulcers, my head, Jimmy Hoffa, or 80ā€™ satellite dishes. šŸ™‚ The biggest miracle is Iā€™m posting from irk instead of the ER/ICU. Iā€™d say my theory of blood pressure meds as the cause last time was spot on, and not the vapid bullshit of the ICU attending physician about ā€˜bodily humorsā€™ that translated to ā€˜I havenā€™t a fucking clueā€™. Oh, and 1/2 of a blurf. I slept off my sedation after I got home, and I am pretty well rested today. ---

Up and showered early here. Weā€™re promised a nice, rain-free day, so I can do some laundry ahead of packing. Yeah, I know, I could use the dryer, but I prefer to hang things out - they smell fresher, and itā€™s free!! Must-do list for today: - deliver donations to thrift store - unload dishwasher - bathe Higgs - mail custom-painted T-shirt that \*\*FCD \*\*just finished - pack clothes - pack car - write check for critter sitter - clean inside of windshield (the carwash folks did a lousy job!) Thereā€™s probably more, but those are the biggies so far. Iā€™m absolutely not looking forward to the drive tomorrow - weā€™re anticipating rain at least part of the way, and rain on the interstate is not fun. But Iā€™ve got an afghan to keep me occupied, and weā€™ve got XM radio, so weā€™ll have options for our listening pleasure. And itā€™s only 13 or 14 hours, traffic permittingā€¦ Oh, how I hate I-95!!! Worst of all, \*\*FCD \*\*doesnā€™t want to take his laptop, so I may be incommunicado for a week. Which means my YAHOO mail spam box will be overflowing - I get close to 100 crap mails a day for some weird reason. I donā€™t give out that address to many folks, but it still gets bombarded. Oh well. Onward into the day! Happy Tuesday!! ---

Happy Toosday! Hopefully no rain today. I want to be out of here no later than noon. I have to remember to take socks, my feet get cold on the hardwood floors. I have to remember to borrow a hammer too. I wonder how upset my mother would get if I backed the truck up into the yard. They arenā€™t leaving until noon and I donā€™t want to load up the truck while itā€™s sitting in the street. ---
