I’m feeling better. Eddie brought me chicken tenders on Friday night because I was able to eat half a can of soup without tossing my cookies, but made me agree that I would not drown them in hot sauce as is my normal procedure for such food, so I ate the most bland tenders ever. Yesterday I ate some popcorn chicken for lunch and then had actual meat for dinner, neither of which gave me much trouble aside from sitting in my stomach like a lump of concrete. I’m still a little low-feeling, probably a bit of leftover dehydration and all the fun that goes with that sort of thing.

Eddie took the truck to get inspected on Friday and it didn’t pass. According to the garage it will be about $1500 worth of work, which is bullshit because I priced out the parts and it’s about $250 worth of parts at most from what I can see. So I’m going to call Dad today and see if he can fix the broken bits if we buy the parts, or if he knows some unscrupulous garage that would be willing to pass the truck for us, because we’re good people and all, and good people drive safe vehicles. Right?

We’ve pretty much finished the living room at the new place, and it looks fantastic in blue and white. The trim needs to get done again because when we did the white walls yesterday it became apparent that “Brilliant White” is not the same as “White”, or as Eddie calls it “not white”. The kitchen is nearly finished as well, with just the cabinet doors to be put up. They all would have been put up last week, except that I underestimated how many screws it takes to put up 21 cabinet doors and had missed about a dozen hinges in my original painting of them (they were hiding under some newspaper on the counter), so they needed to get painted yesterday as well. And I’m going to paint the kitchen bricks white, because they look terrible and it will drive me crazy until I make them match because I’m just that OCD about that sort of thing. Unfortunately we forgot to take the camera over there again this week so there are no updated pictures, but I promise some next week.

In geekier news, our WoW guild is coming back together as strong as ever after the original founding GM left. We’ve got 3 healers (druid, a paladin, and a priestly level 70 bank-alt), so we did a bunch of instance runs over the past few weeks to see how well everyone works together and we’ve got a decent flow with each other which is fantastic. It also helps that during these runs everyone who doesn’t have much experience with the eleventy-billion Outland instances (*cough*me*Eddie*cough*) has gotten some fairly decent new gear out of them.
