Nora, are you and Tom still working? When are you done? I can't believe you haven't pulled an "I'm OUTTA here!" yet.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yeah, we're still working. My last day is Thursday the 6th and Tom's is Friday the 7th.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I learned today that going on a gluten-free diet can cause actual physical withdrawal, because the gluten protein interacts with opioid receptors, and taking that away makes the opioid receptors feel like they aren't getting their morphine any more!
This explains my muscle aches and unremitting exhaustion. It's weird but also cool -- the human body sees bread as a drug in some people!
Trying GF pasta for dinner tonight. It's a well-recommended brand (and SHOULD be good, considering how $$$ it is; gluten-free is not cheap if you're trying to replace gluten-y foods, though I have to say, Whole Paycheck makes some outstanding GF rolls they label as hamburger buns, but that work as a dinner roll and otherwise random breadstuff, AND god damn they make fucking AMAZING GF scones).
(Well, THAT was a rambly parenthetical.)

Aww! He actually looks terribly serious to me. Like he's thinking really hard to work something out.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Huh. Just got an email on my synagogue mailing list about a class for people going through "life changes," like changing jobs, and looking at what Jewish texts have to say about it. Sounds mildly interesting, but it's in Rockville, so, no. Also a jazz appreciation class, and I think there was something yesterday about a lecture on the Holocaust in American Jewish culture in the fifties, so I've got my choice of lots of different things to learn about at times and/or places that I can't attend.

I think this may be something faith could really be helpful with particularly with layoffs and people having to readjust budgets and expectations.
I guess what I'm saying is good onya Hil's synagogue!
