Garlic... kind of a bitch underneath your fingernails... but damn tasty.

I've lost 14lbs, according to the doc, which means I'm almost back to the weight I was before the health ridiculousness started, so thats good, and the meds aren't messing with my liver and kidney, which I was sure they were because how could I not have horrible side effects ( Read more... )

Summer thunderstorms are very comforting, I wish they'd happen more often. I think I'm meant to be in the pacific northwest where it rains all of the time.

Seriously, why do you even bother coming home? It's certainly not to spend time with me.

My freaking leg is killing me, so I've been in bed/the sofa a lot lately. Lame.
