when I woke up this morning I had bubblegum in my hair

(More) advice for people more stupid than I am:

Using your teacup full of tea as a hot water bottle on your sore neck results in getting tea in your hair. For real.

Stayed home, by the way.

Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
For yet I will praise him,
My savior and my God. Psalm 42:11 NIV.

1. Tonight's Last night's Veronica Mars. Detailed reaction possibly to come later, but ( these )

2. I rewatched the end of West Wing S3 (and "Twenty Hours in America"). I have so much love for CJ/Simon. ( and then spoilers )

3. I'm feeling so much better. I really needed to take today off. (I mention this both because it's true, and because I'm trying to convince myself that it's true.)
4. If we can get a good coalition together, we could be writing BSC-mom-slash next week! (See accomplishment #1.)
5. I watched Mean Girls and read the fanfic I could find. My favorite was Kiss by fox1013. (Who else?)

Three things I did well today:
1. Posted the poll for the next round of short_takes.
2. I called in sick. Because I was sick.
3. I worked on graduate school essays somewhat.

Two things I am looking forward to doing (better) tomorrow:
1. Going back to work.
2. Remembering to eat three meals.
