absolutely pregnant with meaning.

Still up with headache! I found some "liniment" in the cabinet downstairs called something like Arthritis Relief Rub. It looks like a patent medicine and claims to have no bad smell.

Um, LIES! Its primary ingredients are things like camphor, wintergreen, and rosemary extract, so you can imagine how totally Ben Gay it is. Icy Hot! I rubbed it all over my neck and shoulders and it made my eyes tingle. I wore a hot-wrap around my neck.

I also put liniment on my gardening injury.

Also, I did a New York Times Friday crossword puzzle (which I believe are supposed to be very hard... they ARE hard; I cheat a lot by checking my answers).

When I was doing a lot of Office training last week, which I have to get back to tomorrow, I was having eye problems, and my head started to hurt. That was actually the genesis of this headache, which I have been fighting off for days. I will have to wear my oft-ignored glasses if I want to do more training.

All I really want to listen to is classical music.

So it is official! I have become elderly. *sigh*

(What other old-people things could I be up to?)

Are italics 'elderly'?

[verbminx.livejournal.com]

No, but evidence should be italicized.

It's nice how I'm treating this headache that I believe I got from sittin' in a chair and starin' at a computer screen for too many hours in a row. Sittin' on my bed and starin' at a computer screen. BOOYAH!

I see.

Also, is 'putting liniment on your gardening injury' anything like digging a hole for your rosebush?

Inquiring minds...

ha ha you said "bush" ha ha

[verbminx.livejournal.com]

Well, i got the "gardening injury" while "digging" said "hole" for said "rosebush." although it's not really an "injury", just the fact that i am creaky and out of shape. LIKE AN OLD PERSON. Three days later and my achy muscles are still achy.

So, in other words, YES. EXACTLY LIKE THAT.

Of course, if you USE ALL CAPS at RANDOM, you're a VORTICIST.

is that like sucking? because i've heard that i suck.

[verbminx.livejournal.com]

I'm never random, except when I say I am.

(What does that make me? Pretentious? ;)

PS taketh the icon not personally; it's just part of my new elderly persona.

[uhlume.livejournal.com]

That's okay, you shouldn't take this one personally, either; it's just part of my new cantankerous bastard persona.

Oh wait, that's not new.

[verbminx.livejournal.com]

"persona"?
