I am baking oatmeal-maple-wheat-pecan-raisin bread, and it smells awesome.

There are things I should be doing but instead I'm just poking about the internet and reading fic. What a chore.

Isn't Kat on a boat near Hawaii about now?

Just my little ounce of sunshine to add. It got up to freezing here today!

I decided to put off errands until tomorrow, when it is supposed to hit the 20s. So instead I cleaned and cleaned and put together a lamp and hauled a bunch of things to the dumpster.

There's still plenty of cleaning to do, but I think I may stop for a while and have a vodka gimlet.

So, you know what I need and don't have? A ladle. Makes the whole serving-soup thing much more difficult.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Very good choice, shrift. I'm mostly done with cleaning, except for last minute stuff. As soon as the thread is dead, I think I may go nap.

Aren't you also the one short on spoons?

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

So, he said he's going to quit, apparently. On Wait Wait, they pointed out that this might not be the optimal time, what with the stress and all.

He has acknowledged the extra added challenge. But chewing some gum won't attract the cameras the way lighting up would.

I want to go to the Obama rally tomorrow but I can't find info more detailed than doors open at 3:30. I have to be out in the 'burbs at 7:30 and I'd be annoyed to have to leave right as he hits the stage.

True, true. But snapping at reporters would also be a bad call, and an added risk.
