Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, it's huge. And I shed blood, sweat and tears on that project but getting some backend recognition (as opposed to obligatory "thank yous" at the close) makes it a lot easier to keep up the energy to do that.

That's awesome.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's great, brenda! Wow. To actually see someone get the recognition and tangible reward for all that work is really cool.

I could've sworn I'd read about Queen Latifah and Ed Koch both coming out recently.

Our wings are not tired.

I only knew a couple of those people were gay. First I thought I must live under a rock, but I think it is more likely that I just never gave their sexuality a thought. The overwhelming majority of people I see or meet I don't think about their sexual preference unless they are making a point of it.

Trust my rage

I thought ZQ was out. I knew Anderson Cooper was sort of a non-secret.

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

I am so crazy. Somehow I'm on a mailing list for medical/health studies, and I just got one about an eating study that I would TOTALLY DO if I hadn't already paid for the CSA for the summer. You get paid $1900! And they tell you what to eat for like 5 months, but hey, I could use some new ideas.

ooooh do tell. If I weren't 3000 mile away I'd be all over that study!

K bought Noah a baseball mitt for his birthday. Suffice it to say, he does not understand the concept.

I dunno -- it's not for weight loss, but I guess it's testing different levels of carbs on blood pressure and cholesterol.

As long as I got to be high carb (with my attendant high blood pressure!) I could be down with that.

My brother did one of those. Had him eating a shitload of sugar (skittles with every meal,) then he had an overnight in the hospital for test. Unfortunately, the overnight? His anniversary. Oops. Don't recall what the study was for, wasn't blood sugar though.

My pet peeve about work is that I'm still working. Hour 11 so far. Hopefully when the current report finishes I can be done.
