I’ve been feeling overwhelmed a bit lately between my health issues, money stuff, getting book review work done, and then LG’s cellulitis. (I’ve been careful not to Google it, other than finding out it isn’t very contagious, my mom did, and that was unsettling enough) Between the blips in my mind due to my Chronic Lyme and my overwhelmed feelings, plus my natural “ooh, look, something shiny!” easily-distracted tendencies, I’ve had a number of random things bounce up in my head…

I finally accepted that a Roomba isn’t in our future. Besides the clutter, it wouldn’t be a great idea because Jack would try to herd it. Yes, he’s a dog who really can herd a cat… Maybe I’m best off with an Oreck XL like what Crazy Hip Blog Mamas is giving away

I feel this mix of pride and sadness that the entire pharmacy team at Rite Aid told the new pharmacy cashier where my 2nd prescription was, and that he didn’t need to ask for ID on me. I’m going to ignore the part where the pharmacist asked if I had ever gone longer than a week between visits…

I know that you should write a thank-you note that talks about the person’s generosity and what you did with the money when you are given cash. But should children who are planning to get a lizard and/or a hermit crab write that to a great-aunt? er, I guess great-great-aunt…

How is it I managed to be married to the guy who not only doesn’t have a 3-day weekend this weekend, he has a 1-day weekend, because he has an IT workday on Saturday. (Getting news of a raise and a bonus make it easier to take, though…)

I love fingerless gloves. I love great packages that come in the mail. I love the wonderful people who make me fingerless gloves!

I love that my job currently involves reading books and products I’ve usually received for free and writing about them. Then getting praise for what I’ve done! What more could I ever want? (yes, money, but other than that I’m happy)
