Kev came home at 9:20 pm and we went to an urgent care clinic. It was about to close but they took me. They said they'd bill me later too. I told the doctor about my asthma and my cold from Hell and he likes looked me over. Otitis, an ear infection that usually only kids or people with cardio pulmonary problems get. They gave me a proscription for heavy antibiotics. Kev and drove to a pharmacy, but they don't take my insurance and the pharmacist directed me to a twenty four hour pharmacy that would. We went there instead. They filled it. Now it is 11:14 pm, my head is killing me, I can't hear out of one ear and I just took a bunch of pain reliever and my antibiotics. I'm gonna pass out now. Hopefully I won't be late. But I'm posting just in case.

The smell of coffee and burnt sugar,
the cool air,
your feet tread on squeaky floor boards.
I can still hear them, your feet.
Nestled up under blankets,
feet together, tangled, toes in all directions.
My nails, lavender, yours, nude.
I can still see them, our feet.
The air is warm, our feet cloistered.
We're walking: up a hill, around a zoo.
Walking together, I try to keep in tempo.
I miss that tempo, my feet.
Right now, we are separate.
It's difficult at best, at worst,
it is torture.
They are alone, our feet.
We will make it work.
I will find my way to you.
And I can listen again...
To the soft tread of your feet on squeaky floor boards.
I can see our feet tangled, painted or nude.
And the tempo will resume.
We will not be alone.
We will be together.
Today I got a present from my lady love! It was a feat to get it (i got half way to the post office, realized I didn't have the pick up slip, and to go back home, go back to the post office, and then go home with only half an hour to spare before getting on the bus to work). The box was really, really beat up, and I clung to it like the precious thing it was until I got home.
But in my beat up box? SO MUCH LOVE!
First, a book. I love this book. It's a bit beat up, but look at it!
A chameleon, looking for a friend and finding it. M and I? We are those end ones. C:
M also sent me a million different chocolate type things! Some new, some variations and some good old favorites! <3
I haven't tried the dark hazlenut Choceurs, but I love that brand, so I know they're good. And I love Tim Tams, so I am extra sure the mint ones will be delicious. But the Haigh's? ANISE JELLY RINGS! I ate one of those right away and I was not disappointed by how chewy and sweet and anise-y it was. C:
Then, mini Cadbury Creme Eggs. I love these things. These are more chocolately and less fondanty than the originals, but still very good.
I ate one- but the pictures would have been messy. So I didn't take any. XDX
Then, some Wagon Wheels. And a bunch of delicious soup. I've had it before and she sent me more. I wish they made all these state side. I especially love the roast chicken and pumpkin. P:
I ended up having a Wagon Wheel, some Lemon Gelato and Riesling as a pre-nap snack.
M always makes a point to send lip balm and other mostuerizers after she visited in September and it is very appreciated (since we all know it's the most humid in the summer and in the winter is just gets worse).
I haven't tried the hand cream yet, but I love Neutrogena as a general rule. And Chop Savers! Eeeee! I'll have to start playing my boner again.
And the pin up lip balm is HIL-AR-I-OUS! It's a lady riding a goddamned polar bear! Also, I used it at work today- pretty good too. CB
Now, bear with me here (hahaha! Get it? XD) but the next thing, a bar of soap, had some really fucking clever packaging!
Look at that. Black sesame and coconut! Two of my favorite things!
And look, little hearts, to help you smell it without having to open it. Also for teasing you!
This is on the other side. Also a tease.
Sorry for the flash here- but see what it is doing here?
And then BAM the soap. I'm gonna try to use this soonish (I have so much other soap- but this just smells too good not to use.)
My lady is the best lady! She sent me these beautiful Harmony Simphonia Hooks! These are so hard to get and so expensive and so beautiful and hand crafted and *gurgles and falls over*
I love her so much.
Black Pheonix Bath Oil and Perfume!
I haven't managed to get the packaging on the oil off, but I am sure it smells amazing and woodsy. And the Golden Crab Sipder? I wore it to work and it was to die for. So yummy and sweet and soft.
Look! It's a puzzle! And star propaganda! They don't want you to know that they are actually perfect glittering assholes, so they're trying to look like a cutesy gender bent Nathan right now. Or maybe it is gender bent Nathan. I dunno. but I do know it is cute and I am going to play with this puzzle.
Star paper clips! Now I have ten! I intend to make a mobile with these some day...
M packed the box full of peanuts. But also full of these beautifully made stars! I was going to fit them all in this jar, but as you see, that doesn't quite work! So for now they are all in a wine glass and I will buy them a bigger jar one day.
I wonder what some of the ones with writing say? But I don't dare unfold them. o.o
Also, themes? 8D
And! Then scarfs!
This is an unfortunately very shitty selfy of me wearing a very beautiful ruffle scarf that must have been a bitch to knit (that mesh is so fine- I've crocheted with it before and I know how hard it is so... I am sorta wowed that you can knit with it)
Tomorrow I plan to wear it to work, so there will be more pictures then. >>
And then and then andthen andjrhe
LOOK AT THIS!
How is this not absolutely the most perfect knit ever?! I love this so much!
I wore this scarf to work and I never took it off. It is so soft and warm and stitched with a billion stitches of love.
Look at me, trying to be cool. I am not nearly as cool as this scarf.
Thank you, M. Thank you forever. I love this package so much. And I love you so much more. You are the bestest best girlfriend ever.

Because Kev and I still have somethings to do at the old house. I thought we'd go do them. We've been supposed to do them for days. We haven't. Its nearly 6pm and we haven't done them. He wants to go over soon and I just want to throttle him. I don't know when or how long we'll be over. Hopefully not long. I just want to curl up and cry. Everything for today's been ruined.
