    The sriracha chilies you eat don't affect your stomach?

    Nope. Spicy foods are more easily tolerated. They don't know what the fuck is causing the problem... still.
    Stabbing abdominal pains and major nausea. Korean food, chili, gochujang, sriracha... and popcorn. Those are the things that make me feel less ill.
    I'm a medical mystery at the moment.

    Well I just have my maid do my laundry anymore, even she sends it out. Comes back nice, fresh and folded. My SO was insisting on doing hers but then my Maytag died and I just didn't buy a new one. But sending it out here is 7 bucks +/- a week and maybe another $20 if we have dry cleaning. SO is a vice prin. at a private middle school, very exclusive. The states governors children attend her school. So often she has to attend formal functions. And often I get the pleasure of tagging along. One night her boss, the schools owner (lady's from here but went to Portland State one year as an exchange student, ironic.) She told me "oh you look nice this evening" then leaned in and looked at my sleeves and said "you don't have cuff links, you need cuff links." Many of these people have serious old money. And lots of it. I knew I was out of my element when speaking to a 13 yr kid one day and he mentioned his family was going to Europe for Christmas. I asked if he knew what airline, just making conversation. Kid looked up at me and stated "oh, we have a family jet we always use." Ok then.

    Anyway back to the subject. Seriously I wasn't saying anything about you or your situation... Ya just tip toed onto to a raw nerve.

    Back when my Ex used to do that it was just pagers and all she could do at first was punch in her number. Later she could leave a voice message. But 15 voice mails of "can you buy milk?" do nothing but fill up my mail box. I tell you if your pager goes off ever 10 mins for 2+ hours and you end up finding it was because your SO forgot charcoal for the BBQ and wants you to pick some up... after the 20th time (and I'm not overstating) it'll wear on you. Esp. after telling her repeatedly"look I'm not ignoring you, I'll call you as soon as I can, the judge is not going to let me leave just to answer a page from home." One, two pages and I'll get the message and call you." My partner once suggested I get a new number and not give it too her. He bought her "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" on Christmas.. I never took it home. Wish I would have now.

    Tully Mars, I'd love to send my laundry out. That would make my life sooooo much easier. Laundry is a chore I hate.

    I kind of liked doing it to be honest. But when I moved into merida the house had no luandry room. Everyone here has it either done for them or goes to coin ops. But I'm used to having it done for me now. Problem is they lose socks too. But for 7 bucks a week I can replace socks.

    100 year floods are supposed to happen roughly every 100 years, not every 2-3 years.
     
  13. I got tired of waking early (no pun intended) so I decided on those mornings that I would get up and go for a walk. Yesterday I did over two miles and was sitting at me desk working at 7. Beware though you will see your bedtime come earlier. But a early morning walk has its benefits. I just finished 2.5 miles 45 mins ago, now to go work out!

    Yeah, I gave up on reading quietly at around 5:30, loaded the dishwasher, made coffee, and worked out while the coffee was brewing. I've already had my protein shake, so I'm pretty much set to take on the rest of the day. It just sucks to be operating on 5 hours of sleep when we have a busy day ahead. I have to write the rest of my research proposal and then we're going to visit Grandpa, maybe for the last time.

    I operate on 5 hours of sleep just normally. Have done that most of my adult life. I started waking at 0400-0500 while in the Navy and just can't seem to break that cycle. The only time I sleep more is when I' sick then my body just shuts down and I can sleep 20 hours a day easily. Honestly if I'm healthy sleeping more then 6 hours makes me foggy all day. I used to be able to go all night and nap a little late morning or afternoon and be fine. Now I'm old and my sleep schedule is set. If I'm n0t in bed by 0100 I'm like a cranky baby. That kind of sucks here because people often start dinners or parties at 2300. I've tried napping in the afternoon to prepare myself to stay up for parties and events and it's not the same. I still really want to rack out by 0100 usually. My dad was the same way. I remember as a kid him always watching Johnny Carson and then in the morning he'd be up at 0400 or 0500.

    I'm a 7.5-9 hours of sleep person. 6 is about the bare minimum I need to function and still be nice to other people. Today is going to be really hard because I'm sure the lack of sleep will make me overemotional and I'm having an outbreak of Angry Uterus.

    Came across the street to have a cigar city before dinner. Happy hour. Dude next to me trying really hard to strike up a conversation. I just want to sit and enjoy my beer. There is a (too) warm breeze and my armpits feel sticky. Dude on guitar there isn't bad. Saturday evening, hello.

    Can I just say, the attorneys in the trayvon martin case, both of them, look like douchebags. Just my impression.

    From what I've read so far, the lead attorney has also been acting like one.
