I have the greatest friends, chapter 319...

**EDITED TO ADD: IMPORTANT INFORMATION AT THE END OF THE POST**

I was having an awfully "bleh" day yesterday. Really tired -- I was awakened a few hours after going to bed by the most excruciating inner-thigh cramp EVER (hula + walking + not enough sleep/muscle resting time = OWWWWWfuck). I was feeling out of sorts... and just didn't feel like doing much of anything (and I seem to have unwittingly gotten back on the caffeine roller coaster... dammit...and since I don't usually do any caffeine on weekends...well... bleh.). I got a couple of things done that I needed to do, but I didn't even want to go shopping for a new raincoat. You KNOW I'm off my game when I don't want to go clothes shopping. Or shoe shopping.

After dragging my ass downtown to retrieve my car (I'd left it at work the night before, while I went out to dinner and cocktails with a friend) and dragging my ass through Trader Joe's (nice and uncrowded on a Saturday evening) I came home to find a small package on my doorstep from my dear pal Kim:

Oh. My. GOD. How awesome are those? The "free toy inside!" is that little pig you see in front of the box. And on top, the package proclaims that these are "accoutrements for first aid."

I laughed, I clapped my hands with glee, I snorted... and immediately felt worlds better.

As I told her, I kinda want to give myself a paper cut, just so I can use one.

Thanks, Kimmy!!

You can have your own bacon strips!
