Dude, it's like, the only thing not making me want to run for the hills right now is my job. The job where the company cancelled employee appreciation day after moving me to the sub-basement next to the vault and the Christmas decorations.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Is this more committee stuff? E-mail me if you want to whine.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Today did not begin auspiciously.
So very much this.

Things are somewhat better on that front now that I've sorted through my inbox. There's also a "why do people have to be so complicated?" whine in there, and a "the cleaning service J uses was a half-hour early, and so I was still in the shower rather than long gone, and guess where the cleaning supplies are? my bathroom closet."
And my oatmeal was gross. And my mom still hasn't confirmed if she's coming to Chicago this weekend.

I find oatmeal problematic. I want to like it. I try to like it. My liking is really helped by lots of sugar, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Word.
Monday began with a toddler knee slamming into my eyeball at 6am.

Yeah, the amount of brown sugar I need to heap in to make oatmeal vaguely edible probably invalidates it as a healthy breakfast.

Add me to the inauspicious Monday list. Matilda got a big ol' goose-egg on her forehead and I missed my train hence arriving 15 minutes late.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Frozen fruit, like berries or cherries, is good in oatmeal. You can put them in cooked oatmeal straight from the freezer and they'll defrost fine, and cool down the oatmeal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hear that. Really, I like flavored instant oatmeal the best, but I can't believe that's any part of a healthy breakfast.
