[QUOTE=Silver Tyger Girl;12867769  
I got my ebay package from Japan. Anybody want to guess what it was?

A bra! Specifically a bra designed for kimono. It makes your boobies flat. And it actually gives me cleavage.

You know the boys will request picture evidence right? 😛

I think I am going home…well to the hotel for the night. I will wait and see what tomorrow hands me with regards to passport delivery. And being able to get home.

Firstly, {{{{{{{{\*\* Mmmmms, Annie, & Shadow\*\*}}}}}}}}

Been a bit out of it - I fell yesterday on the way to the bus stop, greatly embarassing myself as well as scraping my leg (the left one, the one I just got the ulcer cleared up on!); still somewhat sore and stiff, but nothing broken, thankfully ::knocks on wood three times::

At least there’s a long holiday weekend coming up, and it’s nearly here. 🙂 **SpecialOne** , hope you and your wife get things straightened out.

Ga-rump. I just realized that the cable bill is due Saturday, the rent is due Tuesday, and I have no idea when I need to pay my part of the rest of the deposit\*. Computer Boy is going to give us his third of all of this soon, depending on when he gets paid. Probably Friday. But since I am prone to tizzies over when bills are due\*\*, I am trying not to go into a tizzy. This is going to sting my bank account.

Also, I have no idea when my car insurance is due because the flargleblasting webpage just locked me out.

And I just got stiffed $100 on my deposit from my last apartment because one of my ex-roommates there put a hot pot on the counter and left a big burn mark which all three of us had to pay for. That’s half my freakin’ deposit! And I got no pet deposit back!

TIZZY

I’ma gonna play more Oblivion. For exactly ninety minutes. Then I shall read and contemplate the wisdom of going to bed.

\*Culinary Boy and I have to cover the second half of the deposit due to Drunk Ex-Roommate leaving.  
\*\*Due to being broke all the time during the second half of 2007, The Year That Shall Not Be Mentioned.

Nope, see here [http://urticaria.thunderworksinc.com/index.htm](http://urticaria.thunderworksinc.com/index.htm)  
it’s on the sidebar, a polka-dot ribbon.

I felt like a zombie today on two atarax but at least I managed to accomplish stuff at work. I figured out how to fix an issue with one of our computers that’s been plaguing me for months.

Ran around afterwards looking for alternate remedies for my itching. Got a new lotion to try.

Today sucked my butt, and not even in the way I might have liked.

Tonight, there is beer.

In the morning, there will be Oreos.

On the next day, I shall rest.

Meant to come in and ask about this. How are all of you near the coast doing?

Busy work day - lots of random unexpected stuff that kept me from getting the stuff done that I wanted to do. But only one more day till an extra-long weekend. And then there’s Bacon Camp! Yay!

Hugs all…I’m tired and going to bed.

Morning, all! Hope the dizzies are feeling better, I’m certainly feeling more normal today after yesterday’s session of meh.

**Lunch** , you came all the way to the UK, stayed an extra day and still didn’t tell me? Shame on you! Hope you get back home ok and the wife manages to forgive you…was she upset at missing out on a shopping expedition?

Nothing much going on here, work is just starting to get busy again and I am moving to my new office location in 27 days. Not that I’m counting, because I don’t want to go. Bah.

It’s not like there would have been a chance of getting together… I’ve been working until 11 PM all these days anyway. And I’m in Newbury (~40? South of Oxford on the A34), so it’s not like I’m even physically anywhere really near your location…

Upon actually reading somewhat, I see there are a lot of hugs need distributin’ to a whole lot of people here… So grab a few off the heap, and y’all feel better, be well, see a successful resolution to whatever else is going on!

**Happy Birthday, Pugs!**

The doc said I have an ear infection, so I’m on antibiotics now. I’m glad it’s not my tooth! I’ll schedule an appointment with the dentist soon.

I need to get this drawing done today, so I can have a guilt free 4-day weekend.

My advice for today: REBOOT!

Dear old Sis calls up in a panic yesterday. She can’t access any websites without getting some weird “Out of memory” message. For pretty much the entire day, she’s been cut off and panicking about hardware failures or viruses.

I ask her if she’d rebooted recently. Unsure. OK, reboot now, please. A few minutes later… It’s working! 🆒

All day long, she was in a tizzy. One quick reboot nine hours ago would have prevented all the panic.

Meanwhile, there’s too much blood in my caffeine. Need to fix that.
