IS THERE A 12-STEP PROGRAM FOR BULLETPOINT ADDICTION?

3 things about myself that still need work: Swearing, eyerolling, requiring instant obedience. I had a conversation with the Help Desk at work last week in which I complained about the fact that my computer seemed slower than ever and what can they do to fix it? It wasn’t the lastest updates, they maintained. They checked the memory: fine. They checked the capacity: fine. They checked a whole pile of other things: fine, fine fine. Conclusion: I am too fast for my own computer. In other words, it’s just me. I’ve been on a high, in a good mood for...

HEY LADY, YOUR GRUMPBUCKET IS FULL

You know, it would be a lot more fun having the week off from my family if I had the week off from work as well. Working 10-hour days all week wasn’t really what I had in mind. *sigh* State of the Lizardek Updates (for those who care): Returned test results confirm birch allergy. Hyper-chronic year-round allergic reactions possibly a result of similar substances found in certain foods. List of such foods included from doctor, none of which I eat. Work 10 hours yesterday in front of a computer with no problem. Come home and start to work on PC...

EYE EYE SEE SEE YOU YOU

Today, my eyes have been acting up. Boy, have they ever. I have had double and blurry vision all day, for no discernible reason. It was so bad at work that I could actually feel that I was giving myself epicanthic folds and cheek aches because I was squinting so hard at the screen in order to be able to work. Ad deadlines, so I couldn’t shirk, you see. After lunch, when it still hadn’t improved, I called the healthcare help line and put the wheels in motion for an appointment at the clinic to investigate this (it’s happened before...

I’LL TAKE ANY RISK TO TIE BACK THE HANDS OF TIME

I got such a “good” response to the photo of me in my home-made camouflage uniform homecoming dress the other day that I just went hunting through photo albums to find a picture of the other home-made dress that I wore to Senior Prom a few years later. My mom made it, I don’t think I sewed a stitch. It had a darling little half-jacket and a gold belt. At least it started out with a gold belt, since that is what I was wearing in the pre-party photo taken at home, although it’s missing here. Unlike the homecoming dance...

ABOGGLE

OJ’s book has me completely flabbergasted. Also, grammatically speaking, shouldn’t it be If I Had Done It? If there’s humor to be found in this, it’s here: “If I Did It” by John Wilkes Booth

HOW TO TURN YOUR FROWN UPSIDE DOWN

For some reason, my mood, never the best in the early morning when I stumble blearily and resentfully from bed 10 minutes after smacking the snooze button again, ended up on a rapidly declining downward spiral that escalated as the day wore on. Don’t ask ME how that metaphor works, but it was true. My bad mood went from bad to worse and by the end of the day, as big fat raindrops began smacking the glass of my window while my back was turned, I was pretty sure that I had metamorphosed, sprouted a snout and fangs, a wiry...

LIZARD THE GROUCH

Recently travelertrish had a post where she found a whole bunch of phrases using Google to describe how busy she was. Busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest was my favorite. Today I was damn grouchy.* I was a total grumpbucket. I was crabby, cranky, cross, bad-tempered and a thorough crosspatch. But what was I grouchier THAN? *Never mind why. I’ll get over it.

UNDER THE WEATHER

I think my body is trying to hibernate. It keeps leaning toward sleep, dragging me down early, and making it hard for me to climb, sodden and groggy, from my bed each morning. It’s no help that it’s so dark out when I rise and so dark out when I come home. Each day, the longing for light gets a little harder to live with. This morning I was handed a prescription for antibiotics, a course of twice a day for 10 days to help beat the sore throat back with a big medicinal stick. It still hurts to swallow...

GRUMPY McGRUMPERSON RIDES AGAIN!

Reasons the Universe is UNFAIR: Someone my age should not have a) ear infections, b) acne I have a painful sore throat for the THIRD time in 4 weeks. What gives?? Anders is going to be gone Thursday this week and ALL of next week. sigh I took Advil when I got home, after eating chicken soup for dinner in a futile attempt to soothe my throat, and laid down on the couch to try and rest a bit. I woke myself up snoring. TWICE. Now that it’s reasonably late, late enough to retire, I doubt seriously whether I will...
