WEEK

Weather is about 20 degrees colder than it should be this time of year. Don't want to bore you with more medical stuff.

ST. ANDREW

Today is his feast day. Here is his novena: http://www.twoheartsdesign.com/prayers/standrew.html

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

New Year's Eve party at the Grand Hyatt. I am working there. Early Bird Rates still available: http://www.meetup.com/20sand30sgroup/events/147262672/

SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY

Today is Small Business Saturday, brought to you by American Express. How many small businesses actually take Amex? I had a sandwich at Millie & Al's. Does that count?

I DID IT

I bought three dollars' worth of gift bags at CVS. If it's not a Black Friday no one can blame me.

BLACK FRIDAY

MEH. Running the board, feeling a little feverish/sore throat, but will do my economic duty.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

THE DAY AFTER

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

A little shameless self-promotion:

WEEK

Weather lovely lovely the last couple days, beastly cold tonight. Foot hurting today, but toughing it out, feeling really thirsty the last couple days.

I GREW UP SCREWED UP

When I was about four year ago the little girl up the street told me President Lincoln was shot in a theatre. In a drive in theatre. In a convertible.  When I was older I read in CREEM Magazine that cool teenagers in NYC carried portable radios on their shoulders. So I walked around carrying a little 8” Panasonic…

O CECILIA

Today is the feast of St. Cecilia: http://catholicexchange.com/a-patron-saint-for-musicians-singers

It is also the feast of Christ the King: http://catholicexchange.com/feast-christ-king

NOVEMBER 22, 1963

John F Kennedy was assassinated 50 years ago today. Probably lots of babies born in that year are getting invitations to join the AARP.  Kids who graduated from high school in that year are eligible to collect Social Security. And Medicare. Most people who were eligible to collect Social Security/Medicare in that year are probably dead.

OH, DEER

Saw a hugeass deer in the park, not far from where the robbery took place. He was big enough to ride. 

MY NAME REALLY IS JANE

It is not an alias.

JUST SAY YES

Yes! Organic Market on Columbia Rd has some good specials.

IT IS WHAT IT IS

And nothing more.

THESE ARE THE DAYS

These are the good old days: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibSelIFBR8s

Or, as Linda Ellerbee said, where I loved my life most, where I hated my life most.

MENINGITIS

There is too much about it in the news.

COMING AND GOING

THEY DON'T PAY ME ENOUGH

And they make me do shit. But I guess you could say that about any job. 

SAD NEWS

Peppy is not doing well.

WEEK

Taiphoon Haiyan is reportedly one of the most powerful storms to hit the planet ever. It has been bitterly cold for several days but a little better this weekend. Dow hit another record high. My lungs are no worse, my coronary calcification score was perfect and there ‘s no immediate need for a pacemaker.  

ST. MARGARET OF SCOTLAND

Today is her feast day. She is my patroness. She was Hungarian: http://catholicexchange.com/st-margaret-of-scotland

EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1oM3kQpXRo

Okay, not everything, but a couple things. 

PENGUIN DREAMS

I am wearing my Penguins shirt because

1) The pens played yesterday and are playing tonight
2) It's clean

DUH

A lot of my posts are about food. 

GETTING BIGGER PORTIONS AT CHIPOTLE

See http://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-get-bigger-portions-at-chipotle-2013-10

I NEED TO EAT MORE

A Mac's salad, Starbucks scone and a plate of Millie's mozzarella  fries in the space of two days don't cut it.

NEW FOOD CONCEPT

Meow Mix Chili

CANE AND ABLE

Caught myself looking at canes at Rite Aid

NEW DRINK CONCEPT

Ritalin sidecars.

I MUST LOOK BAD

People with disabilities are giving me their seats on the bus. Homeless peeps are giving me money. 

janedoe@seductive.com 

LA MANO PODEROSA

Believe it or not I bought this at the Catholic Information Center on K St: 

NUMBER NINE, NUMBER NINE

I am now up from eight meds to nine.

IT'S TOO COLD OUTSIDE FOR ANGELS TO FLY

Angels die: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAWcs5H-qgQ

TILL THE COWS COME HOME

There is a weird old guy sitting next to me. I swear he's about to give milk. 

AMERICA'S MOST DISGUSTING

1) J insists on spraying/wiping everything down. Including me. 

2) S is terrified that I will infect her so I get sent home. 

3) People at Mellow Mushroom are saying I'm homeless. 

4) B says customers have been complaining that I smell like patchouli, which I hardly wear. I explained that a) my nose is stuffed up and I can't smell myself and b) it's hard for me to keep myself clean as I can't take this bandage off.

I feel like Typhoid Mary and neither one of them blames Frodo. 

YAY!

One year with no robberies AND no piggy deaths!

janedoe@seductive.com 

HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY!

ONE YEAR AGO

"Little" Perpetua died. She was the healthiest of all my pigs, hardly sick a day in her life. I miss my baby girl and still feel guilty--she died three weeks after the robbery.

Taiphoon Haiyan is the big story this week. And it gets darker one hour earlier here. 

I LOVE THIS GUY!

PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA:

Laundering my Princeton T even though it has only one chocolate blob on it. 

THE BIG CHILL

It's fucking cold. 

KELLY CLARKSON QUOTES

When you are on crutches you get all kinds of unsolicited advice. I have been told that if my foot heals, which I hope it does, it will get stronger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn676-fLq7I

CASH, VISA OR MUSTARD?

I do not take duck sauce as payment. Or mustard. Or soy sauce.

MATTERS OF THE HEART. AND LUNGS

On-call doctor says my heart sounds better and my O2 sats are up, but she still hears some coarse lung sounds. Seeing the cardiologist tomorrow.

THINGS TO REMEMBER

1) Today is election day. If there is an election going on, go vote. 
2) The Red Sox won the World Series. There is no Major League Baseball until next spring. 
3) Set your clocks back if you haven't already.

SLEEPING BEAUTY

Woke up at 10:18 tonight. Why am I so tired? 

A) Mono (Too old)
B) Bitten by a tsetse fly
C) Pricked my finger on a spindle

HEARD FROM A BOUNCER AT MILLIE & AL'S

"I'm old school. Pull your pants up."

HELEN KELLER'S CAT

S sent this to me. He also sent me a blank Word document.

WEEK

I keep taking the bus past the Sunoco Station on U St but forget how much gas is.  Weather is chilly but not too bad, although I don’t like the darkness as much. Got a bunch of test results today, which prove I’m not crazy or just looking for attention. 

PUBLIC SERVANTS ANNOUNCEMENT

Set your clocks back if they don't do it themselves.

ALL SOUL'S DAY

Today is All Soul's Day, not a holy day of obligation. 

ALL SAINTS DAY

Today is All Saint's Day, a holy day of obligation. 

OCTOBER 31ST

Happy Halloween!
