You haven’t had that since Tony was injured, have you? You are overdue for some rest, and I hope you find a way to get some. I’m worried you might have a breakdown from keeping all this together for so long.
Yesterday was my birthday. I “celebrated” with a new stomach bug. It continues today, although it seems to be subsiding. Now it’s transitioning into scratchy throat and stuffed nose. I hate viruses!
Dear Baby,
I understand that meeting your grandma and uncles was very exciting and made for a crazy weekend. I also understand that the weird sleeping schedule from all the driving has made you forget when bedtime is. But, darling, why are you fighting sleep so hard? You are so very tired, please give in. Please. Mommy needs sleep too.
Love, Mommy.
I’m still trying to get over some cold/sinus infection thingy I acquired in mid-October…it left me with pneumonitis. I thought that was slowly clearing up too (I do have an inhaler temporarily), but my lungs are still hypersensitive; I had a violent coughing fit in a store this weekend after exposure to some cinnamon pinecones. And I would really love to know why that nice little old lady in my company’s customer service department feels the need to double her perfume consumption when December rolls around. :smack:
True, and at least the audio commentaries were back Mad-Men season 7A Blu-ray release (another thing I hate about split seasons is the split DVD releases)>
Broken seasons are, indeed, complete and utter bullshit. I really dislike this trend.
Also: it burns my biscuits to read a famous, mass-released, long-awaited, supposedly heavily-edited novel that is full of typos, non sequiturs, and continuity errors. Seriously, people? SERIOUSLY? All of you read through this book multiple times and didn’t catch the dozens of errors that I, a bored former-fan who is skimming the thing, catch on my first read-through?
Makes me right bitter about the publishing industry, I can tell you that.
I’ll help you hide the body. I’ll even kill him for you, we will do a Strangers on the Train sort of thing.
Seriously, why didn’t he get kicked out of the meeting and then fired?
:rolleyes: Fucking hipsters.
I don’t know if I can do winter this year. It’s still three weeks off and I’m already at the point where I’m probably going to punch someone who says “let it snow-” The fact that we’ve already had a snow storm big enough to knock out power from 6am to 5:30pm on Thanksgiving day isn’t helping. It was the first Thanksgiving I’ve ever experienced a power failure during, and this terrible little voice at the back of my mind keeps saying “you haven’t had a Christmas without power yet, maybe you will.”
I so want to kick Rob Lowe square in the nutz.
What did he do this time?
You don’t watch much TV, do ya Seanette? Well bully for you, my friend.
Please let us know when projectile vomiting kicks in, ddsun. After all, Ti’s the Season.
Thank you for sharing that…got a chuckle out of it
I know eh. I coudn’t believe it. It was a Union meeting. One guy did call him out on it when the Tamagotchi started beeping and chirping while he was trying to give a speech and the man seemed embarrassed, but you still can’t mute those things and they go off whenever. He said later that he found it while cleaning his kid’s room and got it working again so he wanted to keep it “alive”. :rolleyes:
Don’t have a lot of time, between work and school.
So what did Lowe do this time? 
I’m assuming he’s referring to the stupid ads he’s been making.
Sheesh, the poor man’s still gotta make a living. 
Boy, there is a lot of illness and pestilence both in this thread and IRL. I just brought homemade chicken broth in today for a sick co-worker here, and my BFF has bronchitis, and … you know what? Orange juice and chicken soup and multivitamins and Kleenex and cough drops FOR EVERYBODY!!!
The city is messing with the sewer system - something about putting a new lining in it or something. We were informed by a hangtag placed late yesterday that we would not have sewer service from 8am - 8pm today.
They started at 715am with a WHOOSH. Literally. Water flew out of the toilet, out of the bathtub and out of the kitchen sink. Got it cleaned up, dealt with the sounds outside of machinery, random gurgles from every drain.
We just were whooshed again, but NOW with the smell of sewer in my house. We got towels down quickly to mitigate water in the bathroom, but… ugh we’ve used the toilet, without flushing, because you do what you gotta do. Now I have little bits of wet toilet papers all over the floor.
We knew we had issues with the venting here - discovered that when my dad and my BIL put in a new laundry tub, they effed with the drain system and it’s now all tied together incorrectly. We lived with it for a decade now, but I think it’s time to get it resolved.
Dear Person Who Called Me Fat and Ugly on Facebook,
You are right. I am fat and I need to lose weight.
But you’re wrong if you think I’m ugly. I am a beautiful, mature adult woman. My body may be overweight but it brought two lovely daughters into the world with minimal help.
The brain that it houses co-authored a wonderful book that made hundreds of dollars – money I donated to help fund vaccines for poor children.
My breasts may be baby chewed but they provided nourishment for two babies for over two years.
My ass may not be small but it provides ample cushioning when I read to my daughters and teach them to love the written word.
My arms may not be as toned as I want but they have spent hours rocking babies to sleep and comforting crying children.
My lips may not be large but they are large enough to let out my voice in favor of a better world.
My eyes may be small but it is the insight they provide that truly matters.
I am a mature, intelligent, adult woman. If you do not see how beautiful I am, there’s something that needs to be lost but it isn’t on my end.
Sincerely Yours,
Lavender The Beautiful
<3
My rant: fuck depression, or apathy, or whatever the hell is holding me back from making my life into something meaningful right now. It’s 3pm and I’m still in bed.
