She's already proved it's more than lip-service -- there are already quite a few people who'd like to see her DIAF.

Mostly, the national union has stepped in the middle of the negotiations, and while they are enthusiastic about the pay increases her plan represents, they are reluctant to sacrifice that union sacred cow -- tenure.

I get to pick my vacation week this year. A hard decision. Hard, but happy.

OMFG y'all. Coconut milk yogurt. Gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free. Full of probiotics, plus coconut is one of those superfoods he's supposed to eat at all possible opportunities, as it has potent antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties.

And he likes it.

I've got a hedgehog in my garden!

This morning I had a few spare minutes between breakfast and catching the bus to work. So I was standing by the window and saw something move in the sage bush. First thought it was a (female) blackbird, but the way it moved was all wrong for that. It kept going to and fro' so I could see it more clearly. - I now hope it is making its home in my garden, not just passing through.

I stopped puking. Yey.

I can eat again. Yey.

I feel bright and awake. Yey.

(don't know if I updated after the abscesed tooth business. Reacted badly to the combination of two anti-biotics. Cue two days of vomiting and feeling out of it. God bless Ma. I've slept at her house the last two nights.)

A good friend pointed that out to me.

My 80 year plan for retiring by the time I'm 93 is falling into place. Bwaaahaaaahaaaaa...

Husband and I both have a job interview next week. (With different companies.)

They are both local (as in, in the town we live in!)
