New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

I've never had a hangover, but if they're like migraines, I don't wannna.

Glad you're feeling better today!

I prescribe aspirin, a dark, very cool room and a gorgeous husband to help you hold your head.

If you're not pregnant, the aspirin was actually the best thing you could take. Aspirin is a blood thinner and helps move the blood through congested vessels in the brain. Alka Seltzer Morning Relief gets the aspirin into your system quickly.

Hangovers are bad, Migraines are bad, but as Ruthy hints.... It could be worse!

[ecurbh]

Eeeeeeek!!

[HairOfTheDog]

Ack - you used that word again!

LOL....

[ecurbh]

a gorgeous husband to help you hold your head.

Hey, what about me? ;~D

[Corin Stormhands]

Nothing ~major~ on the contemplation front. Just one of those moods where I wonder if a change of direction is needed. One way or the other, my job ~will~ change in less than a year. I just need to plan for contingencies. Not really more defined than that.

I had a headache last night too. Still have a dull ache. But I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant.

Or if I am, I know it's not mine...

[RosieCotton]

But I want worse! Though I want a ring and all that first...

[JenB]

It could be worse

Aww, it can't be that bad. Not with all the women I've known who've done it more than once.

[HairOfTheDog]

Or if I am, I know it's not mine...

ROTFL!

[Overtaxed]

Or if I am, I know it's not mine...

Isn't that what TheShoes said?

[JenB]

'A' ring? I'm holding out for the pair before anything worse happens.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, the first part is fun - but it goes rapidly downhill from there..... from what I'm told ;~D

[RosieCotton]

Not everyone does the engagement ring thing...

But you know what I mean.

[JenB]

Engagement ring is important, it's for you to flash around so everyone asks you about it.

Doesn't have to be diamond at all. Diamonds are not my favorite anyway.

[JenB]

The result is pretty decent, though...

[Corin Stormhands]

The shoooes are evil...

[ecurbh]

[HairOfTheDog]

Hey, what about me? ;~D

You would be the gorgeous husband.

Thanks for holding my brains in honey ;~D

[ecurbh]

As you wish! ;~D

And on that note, time to go get ready for w*rk.
