bah! a little sicky today. i'm coughing at night and have to pop a cough drop to get back to sleep. i'm a little concerned that its not so wise to fall asleep with a 1" x .5" piece of candy in your mouth. so far so good but if i never post again, now you will know why.

day 2 with new hair. i think i did a fair job of arranging it myself. i need some product tho. i swear, you'd think i've just become a girl. shouldn't someone have taught me this stuff before now?

water is boiling. one sec...

i use to heat my water for tea in a regular pot. after forgetting that i had put water on to boil and scorching the pots a couple times, i finally clued in that i needed a teapot. its a lovely thing to have. i recommend it highly.

i responded to lil tuffy's journal today regarding coffee drinking. i bring that up because that's when i started drinking tea, when i gave up coffee. growing up, mom drank tea, dad drank coffee. somehow i clued in that i had to pick one or the other. (incidentally, mom took baths and dad took showers. that was another choice i had to make). did i want to be like mom or dad?

honestly, i never wanted to be like either of them. dad just seemed like the lesser of 2 evils. not so much evil as uninteresting. i think also i sensed that i was more like mom but that i should fight that tooth and nail. maybe it was just our femaleness we shared but much of my life has been 'do whatever you have to do to not be like mom'

my stupid butt wont cooperate with that plan. fucker.
