Day 5
Back in bed after picking up some Mucinex D. Here’s to me being lightheaded and loopy on NYE sans alcohol (assuming I get out of bed)!
Day 4
I missed dinner with thekeevster tonight because I am so congested I can’t hear out of my left ear and my throat is sore and swollen. Any doctors out there want to call in a prescription for me? I’m going back to bed.

Took Blue to the vet’s office for boarding tonight. Cried like I do every time. Miss my little bear, but Orlando awaits (and she is far too skittish and neurotic for planes, I would be a horrible person to do that, even though I’ll cry and pout to BG for the next 6 days, and I’ve also drowned my sadness in wine).

If the car in front of you puts on his brakes, but the car in front of him doesn’t, and the car in front of you is doing 5 miles per hour slower than the speed of traffic, then WHY THE HELL IS THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU IN THE LEFT LANE IN THE FIRST PLACE?
stardust
walksinbeauty:
last night we watched this Stephen Hawking program recorded from Discovery and god, i always feel better about things when i’m reminded that we are basically made of stardust. and that a series of mistakes and imperfections is the only reason our solar system, our universe, our planet came to exist. if only we could be reminded of this daily, i think we’d feel better about a lot...

I would throw myself at his feet, meatballs or no meatballs.

Good news vs. bad news
The good news? My moles are all normal.
The bad news? I got totally busted for picking at my skin.
therealjmar asked: What are your thoughts of dating a woman in your profession? If you were to generalize, are there certain traits that you and your associates mostly share that make you good or bad partners?
All of these posts about Tim Tebow not having a thing to do with the Broncos actually winning and doesn’t deserve the attention he gets?
Bless you all. I have never been more proud to follow all of you.
Just woke up to a cold, wet nose an inch from my face.
Guess that’s better than waking up to a cold, wet nose in the ear (Wednesday morning).
I just made cookies that I always associate with my grandma.
Oddly enough, she died 17 years ago today and my dad just reminded me.

Bad 4-letter words
Just got done walking Blue (yes, its raining, no, she doesn’t care), and BG ran out of his office like it was on fire to ask me excitedly if it looked like snow.
Fucking snow.
Unpopular opinion
caracaracara:
Seinfeld wasn’t funny. At all.
Seconded.
therealjmar asked: Is there ever a good reason to "use a song" to express your feelings? Use your own goddamn words like a grown up. The only exception is for you're holding a boombox playing Peter Gabriel outside someone's window.
hatstamp asked: why did you have to bring my mother into this?
mynameisabi asked: My ex, the dickhead one that I occasionally post text screenshots from, used 'The Reason' as his song to say how he felt about me, after I received a text from him on Christmas day to say that he actually had a girlfriend.
hatstamp asked: If you could have two first names, what would the second one be? What is scarier - mad snakes or angry mountain lions? Do you believe in ghosts? What is your least favorite song? Are you a good dancer? Do you think candy canes are overrated? Do men holding umbrellas remind you of Mary Poppins?

While I lay here in pain from an unpleasant procedure I had today.
Anonymous asked: I think you need to listen to Mariah's "All I Want for Christmas is You" on repeat. That will cure your funk, fo sho. :)

Feeling a little low. Beating myself up over things I shouldn’t.
I should be happy. I am happy. But something keeps nagging me.
Am I a good friend? A good person? Do I let people down a lot?
Why do I feel so tired? So panicky? So…uninspired?
