Morning, all. I’m actually feeling semi-human this morning, for a very welcome change. Which means, of course, that I need to glue myself to the grindstone and work, work, work. Sometimes it sucks being a grownup. When you’re a kid and you’re sick, you lie in bed and people wait on you and bring you tasty treats and spoil you. When you grow up, you not only have to take care of yourself but the second you start feeling human it’s back to the treadmill. :rolleyes: (Not the one with the plane on it.) But I’m happy to report that the new mattress is VERY comfortable. 
Speaking of treadmills, Spaz, Discovery reruns shows endlessly; if you keep your eyes peeled, you should have no problem catching last night’s episode in a rerun. About sixty million times.
LiLi, Gnat just gets more adorable every day! And wait till he smiles and coos at you – the first couple months of just staring at your baby in adoration are amazing, but it just gets better after that, especially when they start interacting with you. You just feel like the most important human on the face of the earth. There’s really no feeling like it. Which is a good thing, because it’s the memory of those wonderful moments that keeps you from smiting your darling offspring at other, less adorable moments.
I took the Jeopardy! test back when it was an in-studio test, Rebo. I was living in Lalaland at the time, so I could drive across town and take it. You were only allowed to take it once every six months, and I failed miserably my first time, too. But it was a pencil-and-paper test – they just had a monitor playing a tape which would show the category on the top and the answer on the bottom of the screen and Alex in a voiceover reading it, and you had 15 seconds but the time didn’t start till Alex finished reading the answer. So in a big difference between the test then and the online test now, when I went back to take the test a second time, I could write my answers down as quickly as possible, and if it was something I didn’t know but might remember before the testing time was completely over, I could make a quick note in the margin – “steel plow” – and I had a chance to go back and fill in the answer. I think that ability to go back allowed me to fill in the couple of answers I needed to pass. I gather you can’t go back on the online test. 
Anyway, so much for Jeopardy! reminiscences from the Dark Ages, back before mikes were clip-ons and when female contestants still weren’t allowed to wear pants on the show (yes, skirts were mandatory – why, since we were standing behind a podium, I have NO idea). Yes, I’m old. But hey, I was on during the show’s big Tenth! Anniversary! Season!, so what do you want?
I should get to work. I much preferred having an excuse to lie around and do nothing for days on end! I am SUCH a lazy person by default. Sigh.
I’ll be eating fajita leftovers for 3 more days! And it was only $9.50. :eek: (My treat for being smoke free for a whole month! Yay me!)
