I woke up with a cold. I am not sick enough to go home, but I am sick enough that it's taking me three times as long as usual to get things done. I am not happy.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

On the bright side, I suppose, I brought my lunch today so even if the elevator stays broken for a while, I won't have to resort to cannibalism.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Everyone around my office is sick -- I think we've had someone out sick every day for the past week.

That's a huge bright side.

Is there someone you can say this to, sara?
We keep going over this. About once every couple of weeks. To multiple people. There's some weirdass dynamic happening, and it is frustrating.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In my pants!

That does sound like something your mom would say...

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Susan, I'd suggest that you use music by a composer who isn't currently well known - I know I'm often jarred in novels when the characters consistently prefer the things from their time that are popular now to the things from their time that were popular then.
It's my impression from the historical novels I've read that much or most of the music amateurs would learn was for dancing, rather than recital pieces.
I"d be careful with Bach, as he fell out of fashion very thoroughly from his death until the early 19th century.
I hope some of that was useful.
