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

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

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thanks, Ouise. I couldn't remember (and didn't bother to research), but things like that always surprise me. I mean, Bach is awesome. Why would Bach fall out of fashion? Stupid 18th century.

On the bright side, I suppose, I brough my lunch today so even if the elevator stays broken for a while, I won't have to resort to cannibalism.
Which is good because all of the walking up the steps have toughened up the muscles of your coworkers -- making them too stringy to enjoy.
And speaking of weird foods (see that transition)... for all of my eating needs today I have the following "foods": protein shake, 2 protein bars, pork chop, and special high protein "vegetable" "chili."
And I bought in 3 buckeyes (not for me)....
Cannibalism might be higher appeal.

That sounds very ...protein-y.
The vet needs to call me back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That sounds very ...protein-y.
Seriously!

Seriously.
We are totally dropping like flies in my office -- my boss just went home sick.

I want to go home sick. And I may.

I want to go home sick. And I may.
I do too, but I won't. All bets are off, however, for tomorrow.
