I am so sorry S.Rock. That is just terrible. Sending lots of good thoughts and hopes for her healing.

Ripping up the upstairs carpeting has revealed a history of bad floor-related decisions that occurred in this house:
1.) Let's just use really cheap, splintery wood for the upstairs hallway. No one cares about upstairs hallways.
2.) Wait, I can make it even better. We'll paint it red! A shade of red that will never go with anything, ever!
3.) The stairs should be yellow though.
4.) fork, that looks bad. Let's cover part of it with a carpet.
5.) Still bad. I know, let's repaint the hallway floor grey! Remove the carpet? Nah, we can just paint around it.
6.) fork it. We'll just cover the whole thing with wall-to-wall carpeting. It's not like someone will decide to tear it up in a few decades and uncover the disaster that is this floor.

Haha! That sucks, but you're funny.

I do not (DO NOT!!) want to get ready and go to work today. I worked 12 hours yesterday, this is my...10th day of work in a row, on what would have been my first day off in 14 days, I found out I have to go to a store meeting that morning, which will make it 21 days total before a day off has occurred. I mean, I know a meeting only lasts a couple hours, but I still have to, you know, wake up for it. Bah. Employment is awesome, but having too many jobs is kind of annoying sometimes.

I've been on a liquid/liquified diet long enough (and stiiiiill can't eat) that my cravings are all unfocused and funny. Like, I almost literally can't think of anything but broth and smoothies and pâté because there's not a lot else I can eat, and smashed potatoes (or stamppot, fellow Dutchies) just doesn't do it for me. Before this started, I thought it would be hilarious to make a really decadent curry - or whatever - and then liquify it, but my stomach's too "delicate" right now and can't handle the spice, or even more than 2 ingredients at a time. It could be worse. I still forking love smoothies. It's just weird because my body's usually super specific about its cravings, and right now everything's just "meh".

Why is it that I only make stupid mistakes on fussy projects for fussy clients and not shitty ones where they don’t care. GARR. I shouldn’t try and do 3 things at once.

The other day I was giving my insurance company some updated information and they asked for my email addy. I didn't ask if they were going to give it out or sell it, I didn't think an insurance company would do that, private info and all, and the very next day I had 351 spam emails in my spam folder. I'm thankful someone invented a spam folder.

So, learn from my mistake. Never give out your email addy or at least ask if they're going to sell it. Unless you like spam.

My neighbours sure do seem to like laughing. I wish I could be as happy/slightly deranged sounding as them. Although more I wish my house was detached.

I am trying to take all the closet doors off the closets. They are horrid metal bi-fold doors and they need to go. They however, are not going quietly.

What the hell. I haven't gotten sick in YEARS, but this is now the third time this school year I've gotten sick.

I'm congested, my head hurts, my eyes hurt, my stomach hurts... Why is this happening again? What am I doing wrong?

I think I'm just overworking and stressing myself into sickness. Blech.

^^that is the one part of teaching i do not miss. especially that laryngitis-in-november, bronchitis-in-december, pneumonia-in-january part.

Probably this. I've been fine all winter but now that school is back in session I'm magically coming down with something. Probably due to the not-sleeping and the two jobs/sixteen credits combination.

A DJ in a local radio show is going to announce me as their No.1 fan on Monday morning. I love how my insane ramblings have gotten me this attention. He is going to rob a crown from Burger King for me.

I can't remember how long you've been teaching. My first two years I lurched from one illness to another - I got everything the kids got and then some. After that it gradually got better, and now I get sick more or less as often as non-teacher people.

The solution is to teach in a school with crepe attendance. If nobody comes to school when they just don't feel like it, nobody comes to school sick. Even the responsible students figure this one out and stay home instead of spreading illness.

My first school, everybody got swine flu because parents refused to allow their kids to stay home and the school sent home letters about attendance and failing if kids missed more than 10 days a year, while also saying to stay home if sick because SWINE FLU.

The weird thing is that last year I didn't get sick once, and that was my first year. But this year... Sick like mad. It's a weird mystery. I think it's the stress and overworking... Last year I was new to SF so I didn't have much of a social life, so I still managed to eat fairly decently and get sleep and exercise because I had nothing else to do but work and engage in self care. This year, I am eating like crepe and not sleeping enough and never exercising, because work and trying to have a social life. It's silly. I need to be smarter about things.

Sickness is dumb.

Argh, my once-upon-a-time bff with whom I share fewer and fewer points of view as time goes on, is driving me batshit on facebook. I have already filtered my feed so that I don't see any photos she shares (that way I don't get a bunch of pro-gun, anti-Democrat crepe that she shares from a bunch of Tea Party-esque facebook pages she likes.) But even with just her status messages, she makes me very, very sadmadfrustrated. I don't want to unfriend her because we've been friends for 15 years and I love her to pieces even when I don't like her very much. But... ugh.

Ugh so much sickness! I hope I don't get it.

Freetahtah · **Posted:** Thu Jan 31, 2013 7:41 pm

My insides are so unhappy! One minute I was walking around shopping for wine, the next it's like "DANGER! DANGER! EMERGENCY!" Not cool, salad bar lunch. Not cool.

I have a thing about not destroying public bathrooms, so we drove home very quickly trying to make it, but ultimately I had to use the bathroom that's on the bottom floor of my apartment building 'cause I wasn't entirely sure I could wait for the elevator and whatnot. At least it's super nice and clean! They had cool vessel sinks.

This was a pointless (gross) post. Sorry.

If the standard cocktail is 4oz and I'm making mine in a 12oz tumbler (no ice), then if I'm almost done with my second one does it still only count as two drinks? Can I just tell myself it does?

I want to watch Mama tonight but I'm afraid I'm going to creep myself out so much that I won't sleep.

I've been watching a lot of Reno 911! lately and I've developed quite the crush on Junior.

Yeah I guess that was pretty obvious I'd be into him. I don't know, for some reason when I started thinking it, it came as a bit of a surprise.

I was cutting butternut squash last night. I placed the knife on the counter (not well, I guess) and watched it fall to the floor in slow motion and hit my toe. I really didn't think much of it at first but then I saw blood. And then there was a drop of blood on my newish rug, which was unacceptable. I couldn't decide if I should stop the bleeding or try to get the blood out. Then I couldn't decide if I should stop the bleeding or finish the squash because I was really excited about squash.
Got the blood out of the rug, went to urgent care, got 3 stitches, no cooked squash.
Other than the germy sick folks in the waiting room, the urgent care was super fast and nice. I was ordered to not play with knives. ha.
