I accidentally took a stretch limo to work today.
Wow. So... some karmic balance for yesterday?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy birthday, Nutty!!!!
Perkins, that is the way to go to work.

If I only had a brain...
when she'd baked Banana Bread, it was taken away from the kids, and they weren't allowed to eat it.
My Mom, who used to be Assistant Superintendent, says nowadays they aren't supposed to allow home-cooked food of any kind, because they can't certify the cleanliness of Mom's kitchen or which ingredients she used. Only pre-packaged food is allowed, because it comes from an inspected and Health-Board-certified kitchen AND has an ingredient list.

Wow. I guess it makes sense. But seems weird at the same time.

Herding cats for fun
In meandmycat news, this morning I learned that I shouldn't take the lid off the new kitty litter container before scooping out the litter box, because the cat will turn the fresh litter bucket into her new litter box.
Heh. One time, I was dumping the old litter and my cat Pending came skidding into the bathroom in a great hurry, gave me a Pitiful Look and let loose with a big stinky in the spot his box was supposed to be. I had to laugh.

What is even happening?
My Mom, who used to be Assistant Superintendent, says nowadays they aren't supposed to allow home-cooked food of any kind, because they can't certify the cleanliness of Mom's kitchen or which ingredients she used.

But this wasn't for class consumption. This was a mother, packing Banana bread as her individual child's snack.
We can't send in cupcakes for the class etc., any more either, although as far as I know, that move grew out of our town's change in its food allergy policy.

There are peanut-butter free elementary schools. I know peanut allergies are on the rise, but are there THAT many children so allergic to peanuts that having peanut butter in the building is a risk?

Oh, dear. I had to deal with the Food Police at my kids' private Montessori school (Little Sam is misbehaving because of the DEMON SUGAR!), but never in a public school.
