Kiddo made herself a gym/swim bag. She's pretty stoked. It has some iron on thingies and a bunch of fabric marker. She's pretty proud. I ironed the stuff on but she ironed the one side to set the fabric marker. :) I don't think she's ironed anything before.

1. Over the last few months I've been trying to get myself used to not taking my Many ibuprofen + 2 tylenol + icy hot and I can't say it has gone all that well. The 2 tylenol or 2 ibuprofen just take the edge off. I got one hour of icy hot and benadryl induced sleep last night before I was up again. Tonight I took a benadryl, but no sleep.

2. a huge part of my problem is the "least painful" position is me taking up the whole queen bed. I have real trouble sleeping on half of it and our sofa that is in the Manyrd bedroom is not long enough. If we ever get our ceiling fixed, maybe I can sleep on the blow up bed in the spare room. When we lived in Denmark, sometimes I'd sleep on the floor in times like these, but alas our bedroom still has carpet and I still have allergies.

1. What's the exact problem again (besides your Polish Math), huh ma'am? Have you investigated acupuncture, huh ma'am? If not, send a PM with your location; my confidential contacts can probably recommend someone, si ma'am.

2. How about shoving a twin bed next to the queen for extra room, huh ma'am?

Plan B is in motion for today, as Plan A needed SUMMER WEATHER and we haven't had any in August.

Trade you, hot man. Where are you that it isn't summer, huh man: southern hemisphere?

Don't ever buy a Dodge.

Addendum to above, see man:

SM #Many said that fixing the ductwork wouldn't truly fix our airflow or temperature-mismatch woes, no man.

All Many SMs noted that condenser unit (just turned Many years old) is single-stage and not efficient, no man.

Mrs. T-B. insists that condenser was bought by me for $Many,000 after we moved into the casa, she man; however, I have zero memory of same and Mrs. T-B. produced no back-up paperwork on it, no man. However, unit's date overlaps with our occupancy of the casa, mystery man.

Sigh, and cat prep zzz man.

Mornin', Commie-babe(s)!

Tbone, becareful buying dented tins. They can contain botulism.

i remember when we were young, my dad would buy exactly 6 cans of evaporated milk at one go every time we went to the grocery store. we use it in our hot drinks (tea, milo, etc) and also in cooking so i guess we ran through each can pretty quickly. he had this 'routine' of picking up one can, swiveling it around in his hands to check for dents, then setting it down in the cart. pick up another can, swivel/check for dents, set in cart. i just had such a vivid memory of this when you said be careful about dented tins :(
