I forgot for a while: I have to leave work in 20 minutes for a job interview. (For a part time, not conflicting w/current job job that I'm likely not taking) Nervous!!

Good luck on your job interview, lillianp.

We have been using Molly Maid and they didn't show up at the scheduled time. We received a letter the next day from the corporate office telling us that franchise is "no longer an approved location." Anyway, it turns out they went bankrupt and all their assets have been seized, including the house keys. My keys aren't really their assets, so hopefully I can get them back. Those poor ladies lost their jobs though. So sad.

I wonder if anyone ever sees me in a dress and wonders why a fat chick has such tiny ankles and bangin' calves.

It's not a new bike until you've fallen off slow motion at a traffic light because you unclipped one foot and tried to put the other down.

You know what else sucks? When women's bodies are all wrong! Right, everyone?


*This consciousness-raising sarcasm brought to you by FootFace.

Ergh, thank you Footface, again, I'm a dolt.

Additionally, awkward moment of the week: I just caught my boss looking at me when I had a handful of pita chips I was about to put in my mouth. He smiled, I probably went scarlet.

So my doctor prescribed me mucinex with sudafed in it... I was a little apprehensive, I have never had sudafed before, but she said since I've been congested so long it runs the risk of a sinus infection. Anyhow. I took it yesterday, it felt super weird, dizzy etc. I'm sort of resistant to taking it again today, though I am still congested. What would ya'll do?

At overnight camp when I was 12, I was voted "Most likely to overdose on Sudafed", so what I would do is obvious. :)

take it, and avoid operating heavy things. weee!

Honestly, Mars, I'd probably resist taking it just as much as you-but then again, it's probably not the smart thing. Take it and get better!

I had very short hair for a long time (20 years?) so there are some things I forgot or never knew:
* don't go to the dentist when your hair is still wet
* don't sit on the top of the ferry when your hair is still wet and it's windy out

That's all the beauty tips I've got.

Take it and enjoy the high.

Also, you'll be expecting it this time so it won't catch you off guard.

I was just outside, trying to weed the little garden area. I grabbed a handful of long grass blades and yanked. Instead of coming out of the ground, they sliced my hand open. So the garden is now fertilized with my blood (is that vegan?).

I've decided I am going to open a home for accident-prone people. The entire building will be made out of cushions. We will have daily entertainment, such as the "Let's try to sit absolutely still and not move any of our limbs" game, and the "Let's look longingly at the outdoors through this safety glass window only don't get too close because you could bump your nose" game.

I have a sore purple bruise on the end of my middle right hand digit. I have no idea how this happened.

^^And we can wear helmets all the time! And face guards! And body armour! (I belong in the same home).

I need a break. Skipping work tomorrow.

Ginny just got super cute and excited when I was eating a pickle. She kept trying to lick my fingers and give me little dive bomb face kisses. Pickle-Ginny!

Yes, I definitely would need protective gear, especially if I left the Home for the Accident Prone to go to work. There's this one shelf at work that I have hit my head on approximately eleventy gazillion times. The shelf has always been there, I know it's there, and yet I manage to walk into it at least once a week.

This is so sad. My mom and I are enjoying chickpea couscous spinach wraps with avocado, red onion, carrots, cucumber, and white balsamic dressing.

My dad is eating some sort of Hungry Man dinner he claims is the best thing ever.

I had a suuuper weird experience today! i was walking across the street to get a salad for lunch and see these people huddled around some sort of animal lying on the ground and taking pictures. So I walked over and it was ginormous bug of some sort with wings! definitely not a bird. I've never seen anything like it, but it appeared to be writhing on the ground and a dude was taking pics while two women were standing around.

So I said "you should kill it!" and this girl got right in my face and yelled at me and was like "WHAT?! KILL IT?!" so i said "yeah, if it's suffering, you should put it out of it's misery" and she was like "get out of here! you don't know it's suffering! are you some sort of expert?!!!" I said "no, but it's writhing on the ground!" she was like "there are two of them and they are not suffering!"

so, apparently two large insects were mating in the middle of the sidewalk? and i said "oh ok." and walked away.

It was super weird! This woman, whoever she was, thinks I'm some sort of person who goes around killing any bug i see, i guess? I felt really bad about it for a while because obviously i was just concerned about seeing an animal suffering and maybe she was, too? I have no idea what her motivation was. I hope they at least moved them out of the way so they wouldn't get stepped on. I walked the other way when I came out of the store.

I guess if I see her again and she yells at me again, which seems likely cause she was really quick to start screaming at me, I'll just tell her it was misunderstanding. But wow, it was so super weird.

then later I had to clean up a mouse that was decomposing in a trap next to the office i was working in.

INTERESTING DAY!

You sure you didn't dream that? I want to know what kind of bug that was!

omg, thinking back on it, i think it was a dragonfly. what was a dragonfly or two doing on the sidewalk on the upperwest side?

although, I gotta say, it didn't look like this to me

WHOA! NSFW tag, please!

Hahahahahaha.

I think I need to learn not to ask where people are from. There is a guy in my class who has a pretty thick accent and he is a nice, young guy. While we were waiting for something, I asked him where he was from and he said Sierra Leone... at that point I was like oh crepe, not a good subject. This is the second time I've asked someone in my classes where they were from and they said a country with a shitty, violent recent past.
