get away from the bar, tell your boyfriend hold your jar
Damn it, Once Upon A Time, why must you continue to toy with my emotions so? I CAN'T KEEP TAKING THIS EMOTIONAL ABUSE. I just can't. waaaah
Also, Sandy's rearing her ugly head over here. Not too worried just yet, but I might be. Am mostly amused by the fact that I went to the grocery store this weekend to buy some things and noticed that there was no bread, milk and eggs. Do people not realize that these are probably some of the worst things you can buy in preparation for a storm with expected power outages? I figure I should be worried about this particular fact, but I'm not. I'm actually kind of okay with living in fake candlelight. Probably because I'm still kind of loopy since my body decided to go on some sort of hate parade this weekend with a combination tension headache/migraine that extended into Saturday afternoon, followed by a brief window of wellness until late evening when a sinus headache came on, and then everything came to a lovely crescendo Sunday with a dose of late onset food poisoning, in which my body decided to forcefully expel any and all internal contents by whatever means it could. Good times.
Today was recuperation day, and now I'm better, thankfully... Except that I didn't know you can't just jump right into eating plain ole food right after a food poisoning bout; you have to ease yourself into it first by eating bananas, (white!) rice, applesauce, and unbuttered toast as soon as you're able to keep fluids down without any trouble. Otherwise, your stomach basically is like, "WHAT. WHAT IS THIS. I AM NOT READY. I MUST CONCLAVE FIRST." and then proceeds to freak out and give you indigestion. Fun times! (I am sorry, tummy! I did not know!)
So...that's been fun. How have you all been?
post-Sandy update
Sandy barely hit here. I actually feel guilty calling this a post-Sandy update because I feel that actually insults the people whom Sandy actually did a number on. We just got frigid rain and a little bit of gusty wind, but it was nothing we haven't seen here before. They're are, however, asking for State Fire Emergency Units from the departments in this area. I would sign up, but sadly, I am not qualified as I have not reached interior status yet. Hopefully there will be something else I may be able to help out with.
Those kids that died in the city, though. I can't even imagine.
As for the rest of the flist that's out on the East Coast like me, I hope y'all are okay.
