Polgara! I almost called you this weekend to see if you wanted to hang out.
Also! ita!! K is totally excited by the all cereal bar near your office. I was like WHAT? and she said, "We have to go." Have you been?
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Happy birthday, FredPete!
I rarely drink hot chocolate, but when I do I like cocoa, the kind you mix with milk and sugar and drop of vanilla (because unlike Nilly I don't have vanilla sugar in my house). And I love beyond all reason the kind of super duper fancy Italian hot chocolate, the kind that's basically a melted chocolate bar in a cup, but I don't know how to make it at home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Have you been?
I have, but I've never had the cereal--I like their pomegranate frozen yoghurt. It does have almost all the cereal in the world and many of the toppings, though.

I don't know how I'm going to meet this deadline. The work just seems to grow, the more I try to go ahead with it.
But I won't think about it now. Mainly because I'm sleeping on my feet. Um, I mean, on my chair. My body pretty much has the shape of a chair by now.

I just took the NY Times "Test Your Disaster IQ" and came up a "Survival Expert" - which is rather amusing. (I know that I'll need water but do I have a 3-days supply of water handy? No. Nor do I have batteries for my flashlight or even a good non-plug in radio.)

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Been getting a taste of what disabled people go through routinely. Been walking with a cane this week (bad case of plantar fasciitis). And the nasty comments people make. Like when they have to go around me because I'm slow getting through the door. "You may have all day. I don't." (Followed by little girl accompanying the commenter "yeah, we don't have all day". Great lesson to teach your kid Mom.) Or when I'm able to put down the cane briefly to get something off the shelf: "look, he's faking it." I hope to off the cane soon. But I have to admit I'm shocked that deliberate rude remarks (from freakin adults) are so common.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey! I know the woman who wrote the book on surviving disaster.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
You could try saying loudly "Next week I won't have a cane, but you'll still be rude!"
