"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

ITA!

Good morning, people! My brain is on overdrive, hence my awake-itude. No. Good.

I have learned from Apartment Therapy that you can make actually tasty mac and cheese in the microwave. I made pasta in the microwave first (shells), then I added a cup of milk and about a cup of shredded super sharp cheddar cheese. I gradually melted the cheese and milk into a cream sauce. But then it was too water, so I added a cup or so of cheap parmesan cheese and when that didn't thicken it, I added a cup of cauliflower puree.

Oh. My. God. DELICIOUSNESS.

Since it's cool at 4:27 AM, I should make some granola or the sweet potatoes.

YUM.

“Not dead yet!”

Kat, it's seriously scaring me that you're more awake at your 4:30 AM than I am at my 7:30.

Then again, I have raging headache on the verge of becoming migraine. But still-- I should be more awake.

And the mac and cheese sounds yummy and now I'm hungry.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

has just been always under sleeping this summer because of the anxiety.

And being underslept will in turn feed back into anxiety -- at least, that's been my experience, with myself as well as other people (including kids).

It sounds like the meds are starting to help, msbelle, which must be a relief.

msbelle, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

The mac and cheese was dinner last night. I LOVE that you can make mac and cheese, in its glorious entirety, in a microwave. And not the crap out of a box, but the good stuff.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

God I miss Paris now.

Me too. And I am in enough credit card debt that my frequent flyer milage could get me there! (Yay?)

'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"

msbelle, the first side effect I noticed from my anti-anxiety meds was sleeping more and deeper, and the ability to take naps during the day. More like an effect than a side effect, really, and not one that I minded in the least.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Owen chose his own outfit for the first day of school. His clothes from Pearl River came in yesterday.

He's off on the bus. Liv doesn't start until next week.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Very cool outfit!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Owen is going to Ninja School this year? They grow up so fast.
