• no I did not lose my mind and get a collagen injection, nor did I get punched in the mouth. I'm not sure what I'm having a reaction to but my upper lip is puffier than it should be and my entire mouth is inflamed and tingly. Thing is I can't for the life of me think of what the hell I could have run into to cause such a thing.
  
  
• seems like quite a few people around me are going through the proverbial December Rough Shit™ Hugs and love to all of you and here's hoping that shit cuts the fuck out soon.
  
  
• I don't care how much it looks like pasta, eating dry rubber cement is generally a bad idea. (I'll just let y'all wonder about that for a bit, but no, I did not actually eat the cement.)
  
  
• I am occasionally boggled and saddened by how deep my own issues with trust run. Need to work on overcoming this.
  
  
• Every time I think I've got a handle on this whole car and driver thing something else pops up and is all like "HA HA HA YEAH RIGHT N00B." Like now that we're finally getting overnight lows below freezing I have to be up and at 'em ten minutes earlier for things like car scraping and warm-up. Le sigh.
  
  
• Also if I want to go to the gym after work, it helps, now that I've switched to the Timberlands, if I put my sneakers in the car with my gym bag. Guess what I forgot to do this morning.
  
  
• Today - need to pick up plastic for the windows. Boobyhaven is draaaaaaaaaaaaaaafty. Which makes no sense, those are ostensibly new windows. Also today - need to sort through the Christmas crap in the closet. I think somehow one of Them ended up with the tree but somehow I ended up with most of the rest of the holiday stuff. May have to see about getting my yuletide on. Also hankering for gingerbread something fierce. Baking may have to happen.
  
  
• Thinky thinky as always... I've decided that I am officially Done with certain subjects as of the new year. I'm coming to the point where I've pretty much crunched through whatever needs to be crunched through pertaining directly to them, and even if I haven't finished quite to my own satisfaction... eh. Done is beautiful. Plus I know what I'm like... and it's gotta stop sometime. So yeah, I'm giving myself a deadline. I know I probably shouldn't treat my mental well being like a term paper, but not much else works. Also need to make room in the brainmeat for other stuff. While I don't exactly have new years resolutions, I do have a nebulous list of things I want to do/accomplish next year. I'm actually pretty excited about it for a change. It's generally a good sign when I regard positive life changes as challenges, not chores. Plus a year ending in 0 always seems like a good time to leave the bad shit behind. ♫Gotta feeling twenty-ten is going to be a good year...♫

ca caw ca caw ca caw *

Spent my evening having an absurd amount of fun shrink-wrapping Boobyhaven's windows. Still haven't done the big one in front (may leave that for tomorrow), but the three little ones are all sealed up. There may or may not have been Lady Gaga and mad cackling involved. I will confirm nor deny neither.

It's supposed to be all wintery and fucked up and gross tomorrow, and I'm strongly considering putting off the inevitable and working remotely. Quite honestly I'm completely freaked at the prospect of driving on snow/ice, lol. Every time nounsandverbs notes in his livejournal that "the only real piece of equipment a car needs in the winter is a good driver," I immediately think "shit, I'm fucked." Argh, stupid all having to drive, way to ruin the excitement of a winter weather advisory.

Course if I stay home, I can have tea, work, and go play in it.

Gragh. Part of me wants to just put my big girl panties on and just go to work like usual tomorrow, if only to prove to myself that it won't be THAT bad. Most of me knows I'm not quite that ballsy. Well, even if I don't go in, I promised myself I'd go to the gym tomorrow... perhaps a shorter trip will mean a slightly more managable foray into the weather...?

*wonders who besides cell23 will get that reference.
