That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So it looks like Isaac has a fever too, a low one, but still. And he just threw up his tylenol, so I'm not going to try medicating him for a good hour or so.

sigh.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We assign employees to empty our recycle containers into the special recycle can ourselves, to make sure it all goes where it's supposed to.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've noticed the cleaning people at my university dumping all the garbage and recycling into one bin, too.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

They do it here, too. And at the grocery store I worked at we used to throw all all the plastic grocery bags that people brought in to recycle, except for the few we could use to bag up people's outgoing drycleaning

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

We have no recycling bins at my current apartment building. But I noticed a site where you could submit your residence for pickup, and it turns out they were already on the list--which means October, due to current demand.

Which is cool. Paperdol's apartment has it, as did CFerg's house, so I was startled by neither of my two west side places having it.

Hope the kids settle down, Burrell. It's a horrible day/week to be sick. Even *I* think it's too hot. Sorry I didn't get to talk to you more on Saturday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My boss took today off since it was supposed to be her kids' first day at preschool. Except they got sick, so she came in to work -- left the sick kids with the nanny! Must be nice!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My apartment building has big recycling bins in the basement, but again I have doubts that what's put there is actually being recycled - a lot of people dump trash in them, rather than in the bins in the trash room next door, so .... sigh.

If you're going to be that way you should have a herbivorous pet. Rabbits can make v. nice housepets and are also herbivorous.

Oh, I'm sure that at the time she wouldn't have owned anything requiring a meat diet. Or possibly a pet at all, since Keeping Animals Captive Is Evil. It was her boyfriend's roomates' pets being carnivorous that she objected to.

I think I'm going to fall down. Was basically working 3 jobs today, plus usual end of month craziness. My jaw is like a rock and I only got to eat half my lunch, was so crazed.

It's going to be like this for a while, I think.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Must be nice!
Yeah! Both mine have runny noses. Liv's cranky as hell, poor noodle. Owen's seems to be dealing much better--and the OTC medicine I'm giving him is working better. If he's doing this well tomorrow, he goes to preschool.
