Yeah, parts of the floor are buckling, but I'm not going to cry about it. If it stays as it is now, it won't be so terribly expensive to fix, I hope, and we have some extra planks left from the install. I'm so determined not to whine about it. Happy stuff--I got a haircut and that made me feel better, took some money out of the bank I probably (definitely) shouldn't have, but heck. I'm getting new rugs for the kitchen because that will make me happy too. Tomorrow, I have to go to work, and I will carry on something horrible and suck up lots of pity hugs. And maybe even burst into tears for a free cup of coffee. What? Coffee's gone up by 30 cents--don't look at me like that. We do what we have to.

I'm reading MTS, I'm writing slow motion on my various fics and working on the ideas I got the other day, thanks ladies!

Oh, I was so upset I forgot to mention, if you've seen Iron Man, you know how lovely Jim Rhodes was, you saw the fondness they have for each other? Well, so did [livejournal.com profile] dancinbutterfly she wrote an *incredibly* lovely story about the two in younger days, Extraordinary, pre-slash, does that make it gen? Oh, it's so very good! You should read it!

Speaking of gen fic, I've gotten a terrible bug for reading gen SpN lately! I know--I put it down to my recent trauma...*tears fill eyes, lip be all wibbly---one single tear runs over plump, barely wrinkled cheek...* Gosh...gosh I...think I'd feel better with a smidge of caffeine in me. *sniff*

Ah? Ah?

oh, i'm so sorry about the buckling. that's a real shame. hope the fixing is easy and not too pricey.

coffee at the diner is $1.99, but they keep refilling it as long as i want them to. still, that's a lot of money for coffee. i remember sitting in a steakhouse near campus, buying no steak, just coffee, and refilling from their pot till i got tachycardia, for 25 cents. (this is one of the perqs of being old, telling stories like this. *g*)

LMAO!!!!

Right! I'm really steamed because for the last year at work, I've been paying 52 cents (senior discount) now the bastards raised it to 80 cents! It's the only benefit I had at Tarjay! And no, *shifty-eye* we won't ask how I get the senior discount five years early....
