Had to do a glucose monitoring test involving fasting until 8:30am blood draw, drinking some nastily-sweet stuff called Glucola, then three more blood draws, once every hour. I wasn't able to get real food or drink until nearly 1PM. Who knew that messing with your blood sugar for half the day could make you feel like crap the rest of the day?
Results come back tomorrow - fingers crossed that this turns out to just be a warning to stay on top of things (diet, blood sugar, exercise) a little better, and that the wee one is still doing fine.
Vibes to you, DA!

One of my coworkers I work alongside with just got the flu. Bummer. I hope you don't have it but here is a sure-fire way to find out (from Web site:
doihavethefuckingflu.com).
1. Stand in front of a mirror with your eyes closed.
2. Stick out your tongue.
3. Open your eyes.
4. If you can see your tongue in the mirror, you have the flu.
Good luck man.

I thought all they needed were wigs and big red shoes and they'd be Ronald McDonald's lookalikes.

Did you see last night...
Steve Blake has his jersey hanging in the Terp Arena.
They need a Johnny Rocket's banner to hang next to it.

But would that banner bring the people happiness?

I thought they looked like the end result of a really bad case of salmonella food poisoning.

If you send just a general letter or note to someone you haven't seen in many years, and then you call them up to ask if they got your random note, never slip up and say "ransom note" instead. It tends to freak them out/piss them off, especially if they have kids.

That's a great deal! Are the windows double pane energy efficient windows or just regular single pane windows?
