I have a happy bod.

I just shelled out a bunch of money for an pre-owned Aeron chair and it landed on my doorstep Saturday. I’ve sat in Aerons before. After a little time in one, you may start to feel that having to sit in any other desk chair is in fact a form of abuse.

This purchase was, ironically, made possible by my recent car wreck. I got the payout for the totalled car, and decided to go with ZipCar for now. I’ll admit that I’m completely neurotic about not having a car, which is very stupid considering how I haven’t driven a car for over a year due to migraines. I got tired of driving somewhere and being unable to drive back when the blurry vision and auditory hallucinations kicked in. However, I do have a spouse who drives. If we’re lucky we won’t have too many arguments due to the additional hassle of having to pick up the ZipCar.

Other purchases have included some fairly nice yarn for warmer sweaters since I’ve been so darned cold since I lost so much weight. I’m probably going to cave and buy some alpaca, even though whatever I buy will need to be hand washed (current plans do not include replacing our ancient washer/dryer with something that approximates handwashing). I picked up a little something for myself at Toys in Babeland, but you don’t get to know what. Under serious consideration is a fairly simple 8-plait bullwhip to start learning new ways to make loud bang noises in the park, though first I have to learn to get a forward crack out of the signal whip without removing my ear. And then there’s replacing the house’s water main. It’s an expensive job, but will be split with downstairs (cause it’s a condo, natch). It would be nice not to get stucked freezing and covered with soap every time someone flushes the toilet.

Happy Night of the Living UHauls!
