FUCK this shit. I rallied my guts enough to manage not to ask someone else to pick up my Girlface from school today, thinking if I could just hold my own long enough for the 30-minute round trip it would save someone else in my life a world of hassle. Especially since Pedro had a big meeting this afternoon to prep for, and my mom would have been willing but my Dad came home from work at 9 AM apparently suffering from the same thing the rest of us have had. (Blurgh, more guilt.)

So I stopped off for gas on the way, and since Pedro had his panties in a wad about my electrolytes I popped in the c-store for some Gatorade. When I came back out, my engine turned over just fine, but when I put it in gear, it shut off. Nine times. I called Pedro in a panic, and he *still* had to leave work, race to Girlface's school (he was late), bring her home, and race back to work in time for his 1 PM meeting. But since I had attempted to do things myself, it ALSO meant he had to drive 5 minutes out of his way to get MY stranded ass.

It would have been easier for everyone if I'd just stayed in bed this morning. And now we've got yet another car repair that we can't afford.

fuck*ng fuck.

On the brighter side, I thought the punch line to your story was going to be "and then I shat myself," so there's a silver lining in there somewhere.

I did manage half a bowl of macaroni and cheese without severe gastric consequences, actually. First time in 5 days I've been able to eat or drink anything without becoming violently ill within 20 minutes.

And the mechanic thinks the car thing is a fluke and a relatively minor, inexpensive fix, so it might not completely ruin us financially...this time.

Maybe things are looking up? I'm not getting off the couch the rest of the day, though, just in case.

This is a sensible universal policy.
On this policy all can agree.

Recovered enough today to get off the couch. Got stabbed in the eye with the tip of the spoke of an umbrella. Surprisingly, it doesn't hurt and I can see fine, but my GP insists I need to have it checked out anyway. Off to the opthamologist! Because I have so much free time to sit in a waiting room today!

I think our Doc made it clear that you shouldn't have gotten off the couch - and now see what's happened.

Or rather, don't see, as the case may be.

Today I am going to find a jury summons for me in a pile of papers. Um, sweetie? Can you let me know about stuff like this?

[greenkoolayd]

I don't know, JL, not too many ladies are the eyepatch type, y'know?

theyre usually villains.

I've learned my lesson. Ophthalmologist says I'll be fine -- a few drops to ward off infection (the evil eye?) and twenty four hours will do a world of good. Nothing permanently damaged.

This is what you use for the evil eye:

Today I'm gonna get between my dog and a charging, attacking Rottweiler.  Apparently I am pretty good at "being the alpha" as using just my voice and stance, as well as holding out my walking stick caused her to stop, size me up, turn around and head back to her house.  Shit that was scary as hell.  Thanks Caesar Milan!

[theinevitable]

today, my roommate is going to ask "can you keep a secret?" and be surprised when I say "no. I can't."

Now I really want to know what is going on. I think it is some kind of sex thing. Man/man/woman three-way.

Tell him "I promise only to tell the people on the internet that I talk to about teddy bears and housecats."

And then wink at him.
