Tumblr, I’m using Missing E. Get over it. Asking me to confirm four times that I’m using it and that it means revoking all support for my account isn’t going to change my mind.

My braaaaaaaaaaaain. hurts. My brain hurts and I took a nap and woke up and my brain still hurt and I don’t want to get out of bed but there’s nothing to drink up here an d I don’t want to walk to the store to buy drinks because my brain hurts.
So I guess the point is. I lied. there is no point.

But then that could be my excuse to finally buy an EZ Pass, and then I would never have to get money from an ATM to go on a toll road ever again.

Especially when it means — what, now? — $5 to come back across the bridge? Ugh.
I think the Tacony-Palmyra is only $2. It’s much cheaper than the CC bridges. Why? I dunno.

Awwwww, disappointment. My insurance company announced a while back that one of the new benefits for 2012 would be a $25 fitness club membership which gives access to any of 8000 clubs across the country. There are a couple of places in my neighborhood that I was really hoping would be on it, particularly places with pools.
The list is finally up, and guys, it’s a letdown. There are only...

Stop delaying. If they want you to make a migraine calendar they’ll ask you to. In the meantime you can get shiny meds to take.
If I had remembered that the deductible would reset at the beginning of the year, I would have already gone. But my head mysteriously didn’t hurt for more than a day and a...

May or may not have spent much of my therapy appointment today curled into a tight fetal ball on the sofa, with my head hiding under my hood.

When are you going to go to my doctor?
I wanted to keep a migraine calendar for a couple of months, then go in, but wait! It is now (soon) an entirely new deductible year, fuck.
My brain is verra verra unhappy.
Last month’s round of migraines was incredibly mild, so this month’s is, so far, nausea blurred vision slurring and forgetting words falling over have you been drinking bad.
No drinking. Just my brain, doing its thing.

I’m upstairs and I left my Kindle downstairs and if I want it I have to stand up and go get it myself.

But… it often is treated with nitrates that trigger migraines. This is to my great distress as I love the SHIT out of it.
Well… hmm. I’d see if it would trigger a migraine in me today but I already have a migraine, so… I guess I won’t know until whatever holiday rolls around again.

I have run out of steam in my migraine-fighting ability and both the ginger snaps and the corned beef are done, so this is the point where I pretty much give up and hide in my bedroom and leave the making of side dishes in someone else’s hands and hope for the best.

May or may not be eating all the ginger snaps, one by one by one.

Unf, these ginger snaps are so good.
We might just forgo dinner and eat ginger snaps until we get sick, actually.
Have been battling a baby migraine all day. I know I’m going to lose this fight, but I would like to at least hold it off until the end of the work day so that I can be nauseated and stabby-headed in bed instead of while chasing small child around house.

We are making ginger snaps
Mostly this involves my adorable child in an adorable apron, spilling sugar on everything we own.
I was about to be all mad* at my husband for using up all the mozzarella cheese** on the very same day when I’d frozen up nine pizza doughs for lunch or dinnertime purposes, but then I came downstairs and discovered that he’d taken a pound each of skim and whole milk varieties out of the freezer.
Paddington Husband FTW! All the cheeses for lunch!
Now I don’t have anything to be...

Kiddo had to get a bath tonight, but did not want to get a bath. We sent him upstairs to get ready for his bath while we finished cleaning up the kitchen. I guess he decided to take matters into his own hands and figured that if he washed his own hair, using shampoo, in the bathroom sink, he wouldn’t have to get in the tub.
So he, fully dressed, put a bunch of shampoo into his dry hair,...

This dude on the radio just said that PJ Harvey’s Rid of Me and Alanis Morrisette’s Jagged Little Pill came out at the same time in the 90s.
Untrue! Incorrect! Factually inaccurate, and particularly offensive coming out of the mouth of a self-proclaimed music snob!

Clearly your feet don’t match. ;)
Clearly I have bizarro mismatched freakyfeet, yes.
What that means for boot shopping, I do not know.
I’ve been test-wearing these boots around the house to see if they need returning, and this is really weird.
The left boot feels like it was made for my foot. It’s perfect. The tongue of the right boot, on the other hand, was rubbing against the front of my ankle, causing a weird pressure spot. I loosened the laces, and now the cup that makes up the heel is rubbing against my achilles...
This episode is priceless. They fled to Austria. It involved driving their funny cars across the border, unopposed, while the KGB agents stood on the other side and shouted, “MacGyyyyyyyyyver!”
Brilliant.
Hey, it’s an Italian Job homage. And they’re thwarting the KGB with bad pop music.
I think MacGyver just agreed to smuggle some gypsy children into the US. Human trafficking, NBD.

Ever since that time I had a baby, it’s as though my body’s thermostat has reset itself. I never used to be cold. I am now cold all the time, especially my hands and feet. All the time, even in the summer, but winter is awful. I wear wool socks through the summer, and that’s okay, but nothing helps in winter.
I am wearing two pairs of thick wool socks right now, and my feet are...

Lush Soft Coeur massage bar: really great, until you get to the point where the heart-shaped bar breaks in half because of the chunk of chocolate in the middle, and then find that you are rubbing big blobs of sticky half-melted chocolate into your freshly washed skin.
My knees. Covered in blobs of chocolate. Not a great look.

Jeeze creezy, there is a certain internet-naive brand of Facebooker that is really obsessed with hackers.
Doing some dumb shit “LIMITS HACKERS from invading our profiles!” Uh, if you put things out there in public, the public can see them, including that segment of the public that are hackers, which, incidentally, I do not think that word means what you think it means. If it bothers...

Every time I open my closet, I find that it is completely stuffed with clothing, and yet there is nothing in there that I want to wear. If I do manage to find something to wear, I put it on and discover small holes in the knit fabric.
I decided that it would be a good idea to clean out my closet. I went through, pulled out the stuff that doesn’t fit or that I don’t want or that I can...

I need to get a shower, but it’s cold out there in rooms that are not my bedroom, and I don’t like being wet, and I don’t like taking showers at night because then my hair looks really stupid in the morning, but I can’t take showers in the morning because then that involves leaving a four year old who gets Ideas In His Head like let’s have Mike & Ikes for...

My dog (Finley, of course) just scratched himself until he jiggled himself right off the edge of the bed and onto the floor, where he stood up, looked around, and then went right back to scratching himself.

Oooh, I have enough money in my Kiva account that I can relend it again.
To whom shall I lend this time? Hmm…
I stole the husband’s pizza that he made himself for dinner, then I ate the pizza while standing over him and dropped big chunks of food on him. Repeatedly.
I think this annoyed him. Too bad! It happened! You can’t do nothing about it!
Am now kind of obsessed with Groupon Getaways, to be honest.
No, Self, we cannot go to a b&b in Cape May this spring. Really. No.

Because of!
Apparently they came and interviewed my mom and dad for the news today, but since I don’t have tv and I can’t find a live stream of the news show anywhere, I guess I won’t see it. :(
