Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Or whatever.

Possibly I read that in pre-show promo, so it's not actually true.

You know what I hate? when the menu says wild mushrooms, but it's actually just regular button mushrooms. I hate that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, I totally believe it.

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

Sometimes you close your eyes during the documentary to rest them, and sometimes you close them because they're loading maggots into a patient's abcess.

Oh, and sometimes you close your eyes because the documentary is Koyaanisqatsi, but that was yesterday.

Oh! Wheat! I think I'm ordering in pizza for dinner. Would someone like to come over and make me fresh lemonade?

OK, you are not watching PBS. Maybe. Secrets of the Dead can get iffy.

I'm feeling increasingly happy about today's informal consult. I still feel really unsteady in the new job (at 8ish months in) but I got to show off stuff that made a huge positive impression, and while I still flail wildly in places, I was able to do an informal presentation that someone went "Oh hell, COOL! WANT !" to. I didn't do the software, but I explained it well. Which, honestly, is a strength I'd known, but I'd never had the chance to use it yet in this job.

And I really do know more than I give myself credit for. Or admit to myself. Shhh.

Sara, it's time to give yourself more credit!

Ugh. the 90210 thing made me queasy.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm so stealing this!

You can't steal what you have my blessing to have. :)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sometimes you close your eyes during the documentary to rest them, and sometimes you close them because they're loading maggots into a patient's abcess.

There are things that will make me stop watching the TV. This is not one of them.

Yeah, well, I know. It's a known issue for me.

My strawberry plant has two baby strawberries. We'll see if I can see them (and incipient blossoms) to fruition.
