My ears were so solidly blocked that I didn't hear my alarm go off. This is the first time I overslept in forever.
Not that much, because I'll still be leaving around the same time, but it's annoying. I have to get them unblocked, stat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I had gefilte fish for the first time the other night, and I don't get why people think it's so nasty.
Look it up on wikipedia. The image there is nasty. Like something you'd expect the cat to hack up. (I had to look it up because I didn't know what exactly it was. Conclusion: ground up fish mush. Ewwww.)
It's easier for me to get up promptly if I know I can go back to bed. Sadly, there is this thing called work.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Perkins! You have the ORB!
That's a good thing, right? YAY!
In less good news, I woke up at 4:30 in really really bad sinus and neck pain, and took a claratin D and my last 3 advil to get rid of it. It worked, but now the pain is starting to come back. I hope it holds off until I get to the office.

Interestingly enough, considering some of my parenting experience, this doesn't surprise me in the slightest that Nature would create this arrangement.

It is MUCH better without the gross jelly stuff. Go to a good deli, and get it plain. And then eat it with horseradish. MMMMMM.

Gefilte fish always tastes like bad tuna salad to me, no matter how well it's prepared. Horseradish helps because it masks the taste of the fish.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You know, doesn't ping me. Hell, there are animals where the young survive by sucking glandular emissions right out of their mother's body. And animals where the young eat the mother alive. Oh! And there's this mite, that has about fifty babies, and only one or two are male, and they have sex with all their sisters right inside their mother before they're even born, and then they're born by the mother just exploding and all the females take off to start a new life of waiting to explode, while the male stays behind and starves to death inside his mother's corpse! Where's the Hallmark card for that?
IT'S THE CIIIIIIRCLE... THE CIIRCLE OF LIIIIIIIFE...

I think they have those filed under "Mother's Day - CREEPY AS FUCK"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now that's just crazy.
