Another dismal, rainy day here in Chicago. One of those blah days in which you, and everything around you, just feels sleepy. Oh, add in that we had a pipe break in our basement, and you can see our joy is unending. Oh well-- tonight starts Chanuka (yay!) and we have a dinner tomoorrow with the family, then Eagles of Death Metal at the Bottle....

My bling is frozen (you peep all dat ice?), Li is lookin' tight, and she is lovin' her boo.

You are the best!!! Maybe I will come for a visit....
It is incredible the devolution our society has taken in just four scant years. Initially, I thought the rhetoric surrounding politcs and our media was just an echo of the last time the United States went through a turn-of-the-century; then there was an explosion in "yellow" journalism, overheated rhetoric in Washington and corruption at a scale we are growing familiar with.
Today, however, the confluence...

Ugh. Refinancing our mortgage is a giant pain in the ass. My ex is delightfully helpful, the epitome of class and discretion. I have a headache now, BUT:
I do have a new Doctor Who tape.
JOY!

So....fucking....tired....

Well, Li and I are gettig over the flu. Oddly enough, I feel better after having slept for two days straight while Li is going on day five of feeling like ass. And not even nice AL-like ass; just plain old dirty bus stop ass.

I got blidsided by the flu a year ago, like the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Shit you not, I could feel it coming on mid-morning of that Sunday, spent 8 hours curled up in the fetal position, simultaneously too hot and too cold, then it broke by that night. I was totally okay to go to work the next day and flew out to Arizona another day after that.
Random thoughts:
Edea's new set got me wondering who would possibly be cool enough to do a Doctor Who themed set. Somehow, my money is on Siv or Nic. I would offer a prize to someone who did this but I still owe SweetAvenue a prize and I have no idea what said prize should be.
King Arthur Flour makes really nice bread....

And he is back in bed this week, dear readers with a bout of the very flu we tried to get vaccinated against (stupid French homeopathic remedies). Send the boy some love... 
Hope y'all had a nice turkey day. We did at Li's sister's house; her niece, Livi is awful cute and just beginning to speak, which is a fun thing. So, we also told Li's parents and family, which was a big deal but all went well so all is well.
Now, back to work! I guess I shouldn't be amazed at the eruption of racist...

Where's here? I believe you're back from CT, ao that must mean Chicago. I hope it doesn't snow in New England this weekend. 
Give me a little advanced warning when you two are coming out to B-more. We'll do it up right...and of course Brewer's Art will be in the fray.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Li and all.

So, the week:
Spent most of it flat on my back. Recovery is long and slow. More blood tests tomorrow. I hate blood tests.
Li got a ring. From me, mind you.
Our kitchen is this close (makes pinchy sign with fingers) from being done.
The new Simpsons pinball game is fun.

Dear readers, the ring is lovely. Looking at it is like looking into my beloved eyes, um, if there were made of amethyst and diamonds.

We'll figure something out. Tara & I do have a car, but we don't use it to hit watering holes. Just the essentials: road trips, IKEA, and Trader Joe's. Anywhere we go socially, we do it by CTA or cab.

Oh, and we're both in rural CT now.
EDITED to add: Go look at my pal Manko's set now. Now. And I also love that I was able to put Siv inbetween two girls chewing their fingers on my favourites list. I mean, who WOULDN'T chew...
