8:54; library opens at 9

This morning, at 8:54, it was 31 degrees.

There was a line 15 people deep waiting to get into the library to use the computers.

Part of me was all “ugh. here come the printer questions.”

The other part was moved at how important the library is to these people.

Uh, so after mentioning this morning that I don’t have healthcare until December 1st, this came in the mail today. 

Its not the packet so much as the card thats freaking me out. Does this mean my coverage started early?

Or do I have to sit here for a month and look longingly at a $15 office visit?

Also, being sick makes me grumpy. Bring on the houseguests that I’ve never met!

The New England Aquarium is nice, but smaller and more crowded than I had expected.   Some of their tanks are set up nicely for photography if you know what you’re doing and can avoid the people trying to take pictures in the dark with their cell phones.  Oh and the kids, always trying to  see the animals or whatever.

Look, I know I reblog him a lot, but whatevvvver. He takes pretty pictures. It makes up for the fact that he calls me fat all the time. Or that I take whatever he says as calling me fat.
AAAaaanyhow….jellyfish! Pretty! Terrifying!

The Frustration: It Pains Me.

I have checked the flu shot availability (seasonal…H1N1 is still unheard of in these parts) every day since I’ve gotten better from the last time I was sick.

For the past two weeks, the closest place carrying it was 2 hours away.

This morning I woke up with a terrible cold.

Checked again.

Its back in stock everywhere.

I cried.

I work with the public and they deliver their germs to me like its their job.

Question:

How dangerous is it to get the shot if you’re already sick?

The most important reason I am concentrating on Winthrop….is that the country I live in is haunted by the Puritans’ vision of themselves as God’s chosen people, as a beacon of righteousness that all others are to admire.

Sarah Vowell - The Wordy Shipmates

I want to make sweet, dirty, sticky love to Sarah Vowell right now. If you have not read this book, please do. In addition to being a smarty-pants, she’s also a humor-leggings.

Writing cheesy freelance articles about Christmas should only be done while looking like a snowman.
I’m a method writer. (too obscure?)
