that was way funnier in my head. now it’s dumb.

New list of things that I say annoy me but really don’t:

1. Calling something the flu when you don’t really mean influenza. I mean, really. I wasn’t sick with “the flu”, but it’s so much easier than saying, “Snot wouldn’t stop coming out of my nose and it felt good to make loud moany sounds when I was the only one in the house and my back hurt and my head hurt and my teeth hurt.”
2. Confusing nauseated and nauseous. It does annoy me, but I do it, too, so I can’t say anything. Out loud. Any more.
3. Um.
4. That’s about it for now.

The presents I am thinking of getting Nate for Christmas are either really expensive or sold out or both. So I have to think some more. He will probably get Really Expensive because I’m Not That Creative And It’s Easy To Throw Money At A Problem. I also Love Capitalizing Things. It’s probably better than the hyphenating-any-phrase-I-felt-like-hyphenating phase I went through not too long ago.

I like the mouth-play between phrase and phase there. I had to re-read that a few times to make sure I didn’t mix them up.

This week I’ll get to running again. Between my arm and my cold, I couldn’t hack it last week. Hopefully it will help with cramps, like my mother always told me it would. As a cranky teenager, getting on a treadmill was the last thing I wanted to do when blooding, but we’ll see. She’s always been right about everything before.

Okay, I have to go to sleep before I get too hungry to be able to go to sleep. Didn’t think about dinner until it was too late.
