in which giant piles of snow continue to be an inconvenience

January was a stress bomb. February is looking to be the same (back off my grandpa, universe), so retail therapy has its place. I ordered shoes (flats and heels) from Zappos, and both times they've sent me a can of Red Bull with my shoes

Also? *hugs* I hope February is better for you, and your Grandpa.

WOO HOO! (I... could fly Swiss International Air and connect in Zurich! Kind of tempting, actually.)

And thanks. He has broken ribs AUGH.

Huh. I'd be really interested to hear what you think of that fitness tracker. I'm highly susceptible to guilt, so just the fact that my activity (or lack thereof) and sleep (or lack thereof) are being watched by Big Brother might be a motivator??

Well. That was weird. The above comment was mine.

I got a discount on it through work, so I figured that it wouldn't hurt to at least try this thing. To see if it helps having the hard numbers in front of me re: how much exercise I didn't do and how much sleep I'm not getting.

I'm also highly susceptible to guilt, and it's harder to lie to myself when I have DATA.

Oh man, Restrepo is excellent, but very difficult at parts. I loved the thread about the cow, and all the little moments of humor throughout.

Good luck with London!

Reading the book first prepared me a little, but when they started out with the IED, I said, "HOLY SHIT, okay, so that's how this is gonna be."
