Maybe "kelp pills" will replace "pinecone extract" in my google searches, because I still don't know what pinecone extract is: Random Tuesday Thoughts

Whee! Here I am. It's Tuesday!
And, I'm sorry to be a lame-o* but I've never felt less like writing a Random Tuesday post. I woke up with kind of a sore throat, and it just went downhill from there. My usual strategy of attacking the illness with naps did nothing. Nothing, I tell you!
*I know, who says that anymore? Clearly I'm not in my right mind.
My boss, who bitches constantly that I don't work Mondays, just sent me an email bitching at me to stop answering email on my "day off". Oh, so THAT'S what a Catch-22 looks like.
In the ongoing campaign to restore my body to some semblance of the one I know &
So, kelp pills. Except they were out of the pill form, they just had the powder. Did I want the powder? Sure, I'd take the powder. The label read, "can be used as a salt substitute due to its salty flavor".
Uh, no. It doesn't have a "salty flavor". It tastes like fucking KELP. Kelp that's been lying in the sun for three days. And then been pooped on by seagulls.
At least I'm not burping it up. Nothing says, "Come give me a kiss, honey," like breath that smells like rancid seaweed.
*I would just go back to my doctor and get her to re-do the bloodwork except, well, I don't have a doctor anymore. Shortly before Christmas she just closed up her practice and went home to raise her babies (who are 5 and 7). No letter, no phone call, just a vague message on the clinic's answering machine and a tiny announcement in the local paper. Thanks a lot, lady.
Needs no explanation:
Epic duel by *IsisMasshiro on deviantART
Did I mention I feel like shit? Yes? Well, it bears repeating. Since that seems to be the only thing in my brain right now. Other than mucus.
I'm not going to submit a logo to 99designs today. I re-worked one and re-submitted it, so I'm counting that.
(Apparently I even fail at 2-week Resolutions. Oh, don't act like you're shocked.)
And, yeah. That's all I got. Tune in next week when I promise to take psychotropic drugs or something to provide you with a more interesting post. You see the things I do for you guys?
Random up, link up, yadda yadda, blah blah. Where's my Neo Citran at?

The kelp thing was hysterical! Rancid seaweed! hahaha!
Wow, my post today is short on positive as well. Also feeling like shit. But thanks for the reminder - I have to call my endocrinologist. Kelp, eh?
Feel better soon. Thanks for hosting as always. xo
Learned something new today. Kelp is good for you, and it tastes crappy. That's how most things are that are good for you. Hope you feel better soon.
I cannot believe you were fooled by kelp. Fucking kelp, man.
And that dinosaur picture? Peed my pants.
I think you should get to call in sick to RTT if you're under the weather. It is sort of like a job, right? An unpaid, sucky job where people treat you like crap by linking up and not even leaving a comment or any money on the nightstand.
Sorry. Feel better. Kelp, eh? I might have to check into that. Bleh.
Great picture! Feel better soon!
I'm sorry you're feeling so crappy! I hope you're feeling better today. Even when you're sick, you manage to not be lame-o!
Awwww! Sorry you're not feeling well - hope you feel better soon!
My doctor closed up shop a few years ago, too - what is it with not being notified that it's going to happen? I got a letter in the mail announcing his retirement...4 months after he retired.
Princess Nagger is going to LOVE the picture of the 'Epic duel'! :)
Good luck with your kelp breath...hope you don't have any cats that might want to attack your face! ;)
Otie was so sweet adding my link for me while I was sleeping - I think that's the first time ever I've been in the first spot! :)
Kelp powder in place of salt? I'm going to pass. Thanks for the heads up. Sorry you're not feeling well.
My favorite doctor left the state. I am still angry with her over that...
I hope you feel better soon!!
My favorite day to call off sick was Monday too. Mostly sanity days rather than sick days.
Kelp - ewwww! I hope you feel better soon!
I'm sure the kids would appreciate me dusting their popcorn with a smattering of seaweed dust. Mmmm.
My OB stopped delivering babies right before I got pregnant with my last because she wanted to dedicate more time to her family and the middle of the night I'm-in-labor phone calls were putting a damper on that. I took it personally.
Feel better.
Kelp? No thank you. After that I wouldn't take it even if my doctor told me to. Oh wait. I don't have a doctor.
Hope you get to feeling better and can refrain from checking e-mails on your day off.
It must be an epidemic - my post today, to quote onlyamovie, is also "short on positive."
I hope you feel better soon. I will feel better as soon as it's April. *sigh*
Hope you feel better soon :)
Kelp powder? Suddenly, I'm not so hungry for the snickerdoodles I've been saving for breakfast.
Life is a Catch 22!
I hope you feel better!
Leaving money on the night stand? No wonder you'all are so into this blogging shit.
I am sure that I am not totally getting the epic battle picture but it most hilarious to me because I see something else entirely.
Kelp for thyroid? Very interesting. I will be sure to get the capsules without the seagull poop.
rancid kelp breath...thanks for the visual, ah not visual but uh virtual scent!
I say it's the kelp that's making you feel krappy. It's your body saying "I don't want no salad, not even sea salad. Take that."
Zyrtec. Get on it and stay on it through the winter. I swear it has saved my life.
Wow I'd have to be feeling like one foot's in the grave to even consider taking Kelp. Blech. Feel better soon.
Sorry you feel so rotten!! But Kelp? Yuck!! That has got to make you feel worse! LOL!
Love the rancid kelp breath..LOL!! I think I can smell it from here.
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Aww, feel better Keely!!
Feel better soon, get on a list for a dr fast, because it's hard to get a Dr. we only got ours here because he was doing clinic time, and then opened a practice with 4 others.
