Can I come with you? I’m good company for Netflix watching, honest.
That drives me a little crazy - here in Canada (and I assume the US as well), it’s walk on the right, pass on the left, just like driving. I’m on the right, where I’m supposed to be - you are on the left, therefore you are in the wrong, therefore I am not moving for you. I suggest next time you (Chimera you, that is) get into the athletic stance, slightly bent at the waist, and put one shoulder forward for them to hit. 
I have the woodstove cranking with some chicken stew bubbling away, a loaf of bread just about finished rising and ready to bake, and am working on Doc Martin on Netflix. I don’t know what the weather system rolling in has in mind for eastern COnnecticut, perhaps it is just a malicious sprite here to trash out my knees and make it practically impossible for me to find a comfortable position. 
I swear, I have barely watched anything on cable since getting the tablet - it is so damned convenient to watch netflix on it. I can prop it up and lie on either side to watch or use it to play the music I popped onto its SD chip. I am thinking of getting one of those articulated arm tablet holders and attaching it to the headboard!
I could see the ubiquitous crappy TV/radio setups in hospitals being replaced by tablets.
It’s supposed to be that way, yeah. I hate it when people are walking 2+ abreast down a hallway/sidewalk and chatting obliviously while they’re taking up the whole space. If I’m coming the other direction and facing one of these groups, I usually just stop dead and watch them approach, eyebrow raised ( :dubious: ) if they’re nearly at me before they figure out the issues with physics that are raising complications with their plan.
Ferret Herder, I like your use of the :dubious: smiley in the above post. 
Two minutes toddler. A lousy one hundred and twenty seconds to make you breakfast. How the hell did you find the time to decorate the cat with blue marker and lime green nail polish? And why the hell is that idiot cat still purring at you and licking your hands?
Went to the doctor yesterday…I have a sinus/ear infection, along with a cough so severe that I’ve pulled muscles. Went to pick up my prescriptions, and found that I had been prescribed cough pills instead of cough syrup. Huh. I looked them up online – benzonatate, which is apparently some pretty strong stuff.
Damn things don’t do jack shit for me. :mad: They ease the coughing for about 4 hours, and make me sleepy enough to doze for 2 hours…that’s it. I got no sleep last night, and I’ve pulled a neck muscle so severely that I can’t turn my head. I also made the mistake of checking my work email…one of my projects has had a potentially serious problem crop up, so now I feel like I have to go in Monday whether I’m feeling better or not.
I am so cracking up here.
Lucky is still feeling wrong to my hands, so he went to the vet for more blood work. I’m guessing he’s in kidney failure now. I’ve done the sub-q thing for kidney cats before and what I’ve learned is that when they go into kidney failure, they will never get better and that they don’t like to get stuck with needles.
Its palliative care for Lucky now. I’ll treat his hyperthyroid problems, I’ll stuff as much food in him as I can, but I’m not going to force him to live when he’s having more bad days than good ones.
And I will cry when we have the visiting vet come out to put him down.
Hugs to {{{{{Flatlined}}}}
I think I will have to give up the bunny. I cannot even look after myself at the moment. She is still not litter trained and her tail is always wet. I cannot afford any more vet bills and I am in a state where I just cannot look after her. I had a really bad fall last night and am covered in bruises I just want ton cry but my sinuses are so just so full of tears my face hurts and I think I may be getting a sinus infection.
That reminds me of a cartoon (For Better or For Worse? I think so) my mom had on the refrigerator. A chocolate-smeared toddler was playing in the middle of a chocolate-smeared living room while the mom stared forlornly thinking “One cookie. I only gave her one cookie.”
The C and the L ran together in my eye and I thought, “that dog must have been REALLY small to get sucked into a vacuum cleaner.”
So will we.
Make sure you come around here for the support.
Every time I have to use LAX, I’m angry and irritable for the following 24 hours. Because that airport just sucks that much. Today, the security line for Terminal 7 was in the breezeway to the parking garage. You know, outside, on top of the street, with all the belching shuttle buses and taxis roaring by right underneath us. Accessible only by one elevator, with only one ID checker and two open lanes, for everybody flying United out of that terminal. Brilliant!
Oh, and then it turned out my boarding pass was wrong and my gate was actually in Terminal 6.
Last time I learned that apparently they just never bothered to put up any screens in American’s baggage claim telling you what carousel your luggage is coming to. They just mumble flight numbers rapid-fire over the PA system every 5-10 minutes. I don’t understand how the hell an airport of this size doesn’t have that, but then again, it’s LAX.
Damn teacup Chihuahuas.
Nobody gives you ketchup anymore! In the past three months we’ve been to McDonalds and Wendy’s drive-throughs and gotten home to find ZERO ketchups in the bag. We’ve usually got ketchup at home, so it’s not a huge problem, but come on, people - if we’re ordering fries, we probably want ketchup. I shouldn’t have to ask for it. The default should be ketchup.
No, it shouldn’t.
It should be catsup. 
I dunno. When I eat fries in a restaurant or at home, I use plenty of the red stuff. But when I get drive-through, unless I’m taking it home, I tend to eat them plain. I hate the little packets of catsup because there’s almost nothing in them, and a lot of the time unless you squeeze it back and forth to mix it up, you squeeze out separated stuff which is nasty. Then for my usual amount of ketchup, I would need 7-8 packets! Also, if I’m eating them in the car while I’m driving, it is rather difficult to use the packets.
So don’t give me any packets at all. If I need it, I have it at home. It I want it, I’ll be eating inside, not going through the drive-through.
Hugs you back. I’m so sorry about the bunny, I know you love her. Life just keeps dumping on you Please try to take care of yourself. You are a good and kind person who deserves good things to happen.
Thanks kaylasdad99. Lucky’s a young kitteh, I think he’s only 8 or so. I might have him for many more years to come.
The last time I ordered pizza from Domino’s, I asked for extra packets of cheese and peppers and was told that they didn’t have them anymore.
Why won’t it fucking stop snowing already?? I just barely got home with the kids this morning before we got about 10 inches of snow dumped on us. So glad I left early, but shit - stop already!!
From your [del]lips[/del] keyboard to God’s [del]ears[/del] monitor.
Whatever and whenever, though, we’ll still be here. Hell, I’ve been here for over thirteen years…
I can’t fucking sleep.
