I don't like today. On the upside, though, I have chocolate cake. On the downside, I've learnt that it's a really good idea to take my migraine prophylactics as scheduled. And that's the upside of the down bit.
Tidying will give me a sense of purpose, and I hope also a sense of achievement. I could even file.
Hmm. Framing that penultimate sentence made me wonder--how do Buffistas feel about the use of "hopefully" as a sentence adverb? As in, to replace "I hope" in the sentence under consideration. Bad? Inevitable? With precedent?

I've always misused

Bad? Inevitable? With precedent?
That's precisely how I feel about the incorrect usage of hopefully. But it seems pedantic to correct anyone not in my English class so I don't.
ita, if I see you tomorrow (and if not, then maybe friday? tomorrow is a lying in day and K will be here, so we might be a little bit droopy and sad.... if you don't mind droopy and sad....) remind me to give you one or two of the tres leche cakes in the fridge.
Allyson, bless her soul, came to visit and brought portos. I'm super loved.
