I'm hosting this Thanksgivings Day dinner tomorrow evening, and sort of stressing out about cooking the turkey.  A bunch of people suggested I brine the turkey before baking it, so I read through 10 million websites about it, come up with a recipe and a plan, and despite not having a big pot to put the turkey plus brine in, I figured I'd improvise.

By using an oven bag.  You know, the kind used to actually cook the turkey in? 
Not a good idea. Not a good idea at all. )
*headdesk*

So this bites.  The nausea and ickiness from last night didn't really go away.  Well, that's not true.  I took some meds before meeting an old friend I haven't seen in years for lunch today, and I was mostly fine the afternoon.  But it came back, and hit me hard when I got home.  And now here I am with a cup of tea, a glass of water, and a clear path to the bathroom, and decidedly not at the roller derby competition I was supposed to go watch with a bunch of friends.  

BITES.  :(

There's a concert and party I want to go to tomorrow.  I'd better be feeling alright by then!



In other, better news, I got things cleared up with the university finances today.  After meeting my friend for lunch, I went over to see the admin people and apologized and was contrite about not paying summer tuition or the early payment for fall, and the lady who had to deal with me was super nice and waved the $250 late fees for me!  So that made my day, maybe not healthier, but at least less broke.  Well, other than the fact that I need to dish out over $4000 in the next few months...

Stupid Kingston and it's stupid relentless rain and it's stupid lack of a drainage system.

I TOTALLY WANTED TO SPEND THE DAY DRENCHED FROM HIP TO TOES!  THANK YOU ASSHOLE WHO SWERVED INTO THE FRICKEN PUDDLE TO SPLASH THE 4 OR 5 OF US WALKING ALONG THE SIDEWALK!  IF I WANTED TO BE WET, I WOULD'VE STAYED IN MY SHOWER THIS MORNING!  ASSHAT!

*sigh*  One of the things I miss about Winnipeg is that if drivers tried that there and the pedestrian gets the licence plate number, Manitoba Public Insurance sends the asshole the drycleaning bill. 

Today is totally going to be awesome, I can tell.
