The Weather Outside is Frightful
And frankly I find it delightful...
Some randomness...
It's about 45 degrees and raining. Yes, in Southern California.
Yes Virginia, it also snows here. I looooooooooooooooooove it! (Sorry, V)
I have a head cold. As opposed to those nasty foot colds.
I am about to go to therapy. (C'mon people, it's CALIFORNIA!)
I'm leaving for Atlanta next Tuesday; I dread the flight. I'm hoarding Xanax.
The last flight home from Atlanta SUCKED. I cried during it. Can you tell I hate
flying? I'm just never going to get used to it.
My niece Ella has a cold. She's too tiny to have a cold! I honestly think my cat
Zoe has a cold. Ah, it's that time of year.
I stupidly subscribed to the Sunday L.A. Times and they have been calling me
nonstop ever since. Today I was sleeping, picked up the phone and yelled "Quit
calling me!" I hope they got the message.
I have discovered The Office. The American version. Now don't go and start telling
me how much better the original British version is. I've seen a few episodes of the
original. I think Ricky Gervais is a genius. It's funny. But I'm sorry, I am in deep,
profound LOVE with the American version. I've bought all the DVD's. I have an
extremely unhealthy obsession with John Krasinksi now (he plays Jim). He's too
cute for words. Yes, I know, I'm about three years late on this bandwagon. I have
never laughed so hard at any TV show, except maybe the genius "Arrested Development"
show, which was cancelled because most of America is too stupid to realize great
comedy. I'm surprised The Office even made it. Man, if you have EVER worked in an
office (and I'm so glad I don't anymore - this show reminds me WHY I don't) -
you will just relate to the tedium of office work. Office games? Totally remember them.
Wasting time? I was an expert at it. Sadly the Internet did not exist the last time
I worked in an office which was....drumroll...1991!
Teaching is so much better. When I actually do it. Haven't been working at ALL for the
last couple of weeks. Teachers are amazing going to work. They just want to collect
all the gifts they can before the break. Ha! I should know.
I finished almost all my Christmas cards and will be mailing them today. I am done
with shopping too, praise Jesus.
It's 3:23 p.m. and I still have to get dressed. Is this TMI? Man, I sound pathetic.
I am not going to wear any make-up today. I hope the screaming and fainting will
not be too bad, since I have to go the grocery store. I am so fucking sick of putting on
make-up.
I have lowered my Lyrica dose and am losing weight - hmmm, coincidence? I think
not. I am soooooo tired of fucking around with this medicine, which has started to
cause me all sorts of grief...besides helping me pack on the pounds.
I would desperately like to shave my head, but alas, I am getting my hair dyed and
hightlights done on Monday and I think my stylist might be a bit peeved if I did
that.
My life is so boring now - but after the year I've had, I guess that's a good thing.
Photo: Me, holding my niece Ella last August. This is the reason I fly.

That photo doesn't look anything like you.
Sorry you're ill, especially in cold weather. Is it snowing there? That would be amazing. Raining like hell still here. We got your storm from yesterday, maybe we'll get your today storm tomorrow?
I never wear makeup, so there. Blech. You have a natural beauty anyway, with great skin. You don't need any.
As for flying, well, take something to knock you out, like nighttime Nyquil tabs or Benedryl. Better than tranqs, trust me. Or take both, they won't interact and you'll get that great one-two punch of guaranteed sleep. Test it at home, first, just to make sure.
I'm so slow on xmas cards but my energy level is crap. Gotta get my ass in gear.
Get better now!
Oh, and when i stopped one of my meds, the weight just fell off. So i get it.
yeah, catz is right~~ you don't look like you in this photo. but what a great picture of you and your niece regardless!! she is so pretty and has a great smile. (and so are you. ;) )
i have a head cold right now, too. bleh. second one in a month. well, actually i had a mild flu last month. but to have this crap again~~ARRGGHH!!
i haven't seen the office. i think catz asked me about it. i'm a johnny-come-lately when it comes to tv shows, i'm afraid. i just only recently jumped on the "house" bandwagon!!
you'll have a good flight, don't worry. :) just remember the reward that's waiting for you at the other end~~your niece~~and you'll be fine.
Ahhhh you're all so kind...I guess that picture doesn't really show me as I look most of the time. My head is at a really weird angle, WTF?
I don't think I have a natural kind of beauty - no. Good skin, yes, pretty much. You should see me lately now that I'm not working. "I" look like the bride of Frankenstein!"
Ella is SO MUCH BIGGER NOW! I'll assault you w/more photos when I get back from Atlanta.
Hmmm...cold medicine and tranqs! They may have to carry me off the plane, haha. I love getting drugging advice from friends! :)
Oh, it's not snowing where I live, but very, very near where I live. How's that for vague.
Lyrica?
Apologies for not following your blog closely enough to know why you're being prescribed it - but I take it for MS-related pain and I hope the reason you take it is a lot more benign and treatable.
Good luck with the head cold, by the way. Also, I agree that the US version of The Office is funnier (the British one was too close to the reality of my life for comfort: I was, albeit briefly, David Brent).
Happy New Year!
