If I don't leave soon, I am going to finish all the green m&ms.

Work was long today, not just because I was there forever but because I was in pain the first half of the day unable to do work or take medicine since i had been detoxing and medicine would only make it worse. In any case I scarfed down two bagels to fill my stomach so I could take advil, and now tonight I feel horrible, though earlier the advil helped quite a bit, as did Rhys's randy candy(the green m&ms ) he keep sin his office. You see, my uteris was on fire today ( i feel no shame in stating this), on fire, desiring a baby, as I told Ben earlier, but since I refuse to give it a baby, chocolate will suffice until the pain is gone.

Slowly I am becoming aware of the quirks of this city, that I was warned about, but was blind to because of all my excitement to disocover this city without holding on to any assumptions or presuppositions. The one quirk I was exposed to this week was how people in this city tend to make tiny little issues the end of the world, which consequently makes any other worse problem twice as big, so that the real world issues lose a place in the spectrum and are then forgotten about. At one point this week the fact that the coffee in the break room was not dark enough became a community issue, all while Korea is making nuclear plans with buddy countries. I love the people I work with. They always give me quirks to laugh about. Thanks to Ben, i am reminded of world issues while I am at work, so when I start thinking the fact that I didn't send an email will be the end of the world, he brings up articles that argue our f-in gov't will be instead. Thank goodness I keep a NYTimes Widget on the Mac as well, and have started listening to NPR since I haven't charged my iPod in months.

This weekend I get to see my Breaking Ice friends and I am SOOOOOOO excited to see them and spend time with them and perform with them again.

Today's my favorite number day.
