Day three of RAIN.

So I put in my contact lenses and noticed vision in my left eye didn't seem 100% clear.

Separately, I noticed that I was feeling sort of headachy today.

Took me until JUSTNOW to realize "duh, it's a migraine."

mj the obtuse

It's so windy and rainy here that it sounds like the house might blow over. And I have to go out in this crap tomorrow because I have to work a health fair

maybe tomorrow will be better

I bought a cool lamp from this gal today at a craft show. Most of the stuff at the craft show was meh, granny-crafts, but there were one or two who really had some neat stuff!!

I want to see a photo of your lamp!

I've got water coming in one of the walls of the condo, but it's manageable. The top floor's got it much worse - it's raining in a hallway up there.

It's not forecasted to. Poor MJ. Hope you manage to stay as dry as possible!

Don't forget to Spring Forward!

yummy salmon for dinner.
Who would have thought that I would ever use the words "yummy" and "salmon" in the same sentence!?

Used one of my birthday present gift certificates to go out to eat tonight after mass. Rainy outside but not snowy so it was all enjoyable.

You eat fish, Worm? I'm surprised.

I was going to make Isreali couscous tonight with squash and spinach, but I didn't feel well enough. I had a chicken finger on a brioche with some pineapple on the side, lol. It worked, and I didn't have to cook

I didn't eat fish for many years, but have eaten some fishes since 1986.

Good for you, Wormie. Fish is good for you (At least that what Grandpa keeps trying to convince me of.).

Sara made the EA Forums logo? Cool!

DH's netbook died today. Power went out while we were gone, and even though it was "sleeping", the hard drive (solid state hard drive) went kaput. Poor guy isn't having much luck - it's his car that died, now his computer.

I try to eat salmon occasionally, just a bite is all I can usually get down. I wish I could like fish, but the thought of them is ooky to me, I guess cause we didn't eat them in my house growing up. Except tuna... but I ordered a tuna sandwich in a diner once and it came with celery in it then I could never stomach tuna again.

Fish is something I wish I could get over the psychological ookyness of it... unlike lamb or deer where the thought is just so revolting that I wouldn't ever want to get over it and try it.

The fish in the mess hall is always so dry that I haven't eaten much this year, though they do have tuna on the salad bar and tuna salad on the sandwich bar every day.

I just want to stay in my CHU and watch Ally McBeal on DVD. But I have too much work to do.

Some jerk just tried to hoax my kid on chat by pretending to be a MS employee and scaring him half to death. He handled it well, though, and got me when he thought he was getting in trouble.

Why do some people have to just sit around making trouble?

Your wish is my command.
   

Oooh! I like the lamp!

That's gorgeous! Does she use real items to press in, or create the design by hand?

Migraine back for an encore performance. sigh.

So sorry!

Cold's all gone, but this bruise has run all down my leg. Ew. I'm going to take a nap with my leg propped up today.

NAP!

Not looking forward to the coming week:

Mon:
0900 brief
sneaking out at 0915 for 0930 teleconference (sexual assault review board)
1500 meeting with subordinate personnel officers
1700 sexual assault review board for the installation

Tues:
1130 brief


Wed:
2-hour brief for commanders' course
leave for Basrah and the sustainment conference

Saturday (maybe late Friday):
return from Basrah

The "good" thing about being in Basrah is that I'll miss at least three meetings.

Am I actually supposed to get work done? Ever?

Lynn - love the lamp!!!

Thanks on the lamp...Dan thinks it would be better suited to the man cave, it's too "cabinish" for the living room. What.Ever. Not happening.

She uses natural materials, presses them into the slab of clay before forming them into vases, plates, lamps, etc., Sometimes the organic matter stays in the clay (she said she tries to pull it out before firing) but then it just burns off.

Might be having a Cheilectomy.

bruising running up or down the leg can sometimes indicate a blood clot.

ow

it's very quiet

I'm bummed because I lost my patience and my temper at school today. One of the kids was so disrespectful and he pushed all of my buttons at once.

We're all human and sometimes we get pushed to our limits. Sorry that you had a bad day, Sandy.

Thank you, Delia. Sometimes my job can be very frustrating. I'm just so depressed and frustrated about the student placements (a get even move from the principal that left in hopes the new one fails...at my team's expense and the expense of education for the kids) and the kids themselves and their parents. It's a grueling year...so bad that I'm too tired to even give details. Maybe later when I'm feeling less hopeless.

i burned the palm of my hand making dinner. made jeremy wash dishes but i'm hoping it is very temporary. no jewelry making for me for a while.

Dan Gookin, the guy who wrote the first "For Dummies" books, made Sean's day today. He ran for city council last year where he lives (didn't win) and had a bunch of his yard signs left over. Sean reads his site/blog, and asked if he could have one of the signs. Mr. Gookin autographed it and mailed it to Sean, and it came today. Wasn't that just the nicest thing?

That was nice.

Kevin is a good man.

Free corned beef and cabbage at the local pub. It was very good, and we had some beer and excellent conversation as well.

I met my husband 24 years ago on a pub crawl on St. Patrick's Day. We spent some time reminiscing about funny things that have happened over the years.

I *need* to do some "spring cleaning". I'm tired of looking at it, DH is beyond tired of looking at it. Haven't done any school this week, so what's my excuse?

end-of-winter blahs.
