A mish-mash of stuff in Skryker's world

No coherent post this morning. Just a bunch of stuff from the last few days that perplex or annoy me. :D

I think that freezing rain has to be the worst of the worst weather. Icy little pellets sting when they hit you in the face! And I hate having to scrape a coating of ice off of the car, especially after a 10 minute stop somewhere.

I'm always nagging my own kid and the ones upstairs about proper cold weather gear-wear a coat, where's your hat, why aren't you wearing gloves? So, today when I have to scrape ice and the wind is really, really cold, where are my gloves? Somewhere at home.

I normally feel a bit guilty about using the business window at the bank because it feels like line jumping. Today, I left in plenty of time to stop at the bank and get some change for the cash register, intending to stand in the regular line for such a small thing. I took one look at the line and went over to the business window anyhow. Big mistake! The slowest teller in the place was there. Bless her heart, she's very, very throughout at her job; it shouldn't have taken me longer in the business line than the normal line when there were only 3 people ahead of me!

Why on earth would a cashier put the bananas at the bottom of the bag, under the box of yogurt?

Meniere's disease might have unknown causes in general but I'm pretty certain that I get the Meniere's symptoms from severe sinus congestion. I've felt my sinuses clogging up for the past few weeks especially after being sick a little bit ago, and suddenly I've got the ringing in my left ear again, my eyes did that weird jumping around thing on the weekend and my hearing is cutting out intermittently again. I don't think that it's a co-incidence. So I'm battling the sinuses and I'm certain that the ear things will go away when the congestion is less.

Something else weird is going on with my body, too. I've started to be sensitive to things that shouldn't bother me-like weepy and easily upset over nothing. Yesterday, I was wired in a way that I haven't been for a long time, like anxiety is coming back, although I don't think that I'm in bad shape or anything.

The weirdest thing? Last night Bear had a steak for dinner (steak and eggs) but I wasn't particularly hungry. I thought! I sat with him while he ate and I was initially repulsed by the steak juices mixing with the eggs on the plate. But the longer I sat there, the more I got mesmerized by the hunk of fat on the edge of the steak and I finally had to eat it. And it was good! So good. He left a big piece of steak for the dogs-but they didn't get it. :) I had a bit of the meat with my fat and then craved the rest of the steak.

Now, I don't mind my beef a bit pink, but Bear is a rare steak man. Like, show the steak a picture of fire to scare it and put it on a plate rare. A good vet could have it on its feet in 20 minutes rare. No way do I normally eat a steak cooked to Bear's liking. Last night, I couldn't eat it fast enough. Bear said to me "You know, you could use a knife and fork...." to which I replied "Not fast enough!" in a mumble around the steak, with a paper towel held under my chin to catch the juices. And it was ecstasy! Heaven! Nirvana, even! What gives?

Prin's theory-I'm pregnant with a wolf-baby. :D Or I'm seriously deficient in iron.

It's better than Bear's suggestion-if I'm that deficient in iron, he'd be happy to cook me up some liver.

Blech! I'd rather have a werewolf baby!
