Migraine today. Migraine yesterday. Also, 'tis the season for fibro flares. Bleh. On the positive side, not depressed, just physically crappy. Still on an introverted swing, though.

I forgot to mention that I got my Portapuzzle 1500 last week, and I love and adore it. I really enjoy doing jigsaws, and haven't in probably five years, at least ( Read more... )

At one point during the hospital battle, passions ran so hot that local antiabortion activists organized a boisterous picket line outside Dr. Lemagie's office, in an unassuming professional building across from Palmer's Little League field. According to Bess and another community activist, among the protesters trying to disrupt the physician's ( Read more... )

Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones Passes Away. There've been various stories coming around, but it's looking pretty definite now that she's gone.

I had a sex dream about Rachel Maddow last night. Yum.

I did end up falling asleep on serpentseye quite early last night, but we had a good time hanging out today, and I'm gradually feeling better physically. Still have the general bodyaches going on, but nothing worse than that. And I just got word that my scheduling problems for the clinic escorts over the holiday weekend are solved; the clinics will be ( Read more... )

I'm kind of bored and braindead; out of energy, debating whether I can nap at the moment, or want to wait 'til after Mark finishes making dinner. The folks I'd particularly like to catch on IM aren't on, I just finished my book, and I don't have the focus for plot on TV. Bec's at dance, Grafton's at his sister's.
