All this cupcake talk is making me drool.
Happy birthday to Dana and Ellie!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I want cupcakes now.
So, today I get my "tentative assignment" form from school telling me what I'm going to teach next year. I'm thinking, well, this will not be a surprise. I'm teaching drama and video production and speech.
I get the form and on it: Creative Writing. Wha huh?
I go to the school secretary and show her the form and ask, "I assume I'm still teaching drama and video production, though, right?" She is also confused and shows the principal.
Turns out, it was just a mistake and it's been fixed, but I had a few minutes of serious confusion.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthdays, Dana and Ellie!
In cat news, Max was back at the vet yesterday for a follow-up. His lungs are clearer, but there is collapsing and scarring. The biopsy hasn't turned up any cancer cells in his nose, but that only means it probably isn't cancer, not that there's any certainty. He's gained a little weight (he's back over 7 pounds, but he should be closer to 9).
I want to say he's acting more like himself, but that isn't quite right. He's livelier, but he's avoiding us. I suspect in large part because he hates the medication so much. The vet is trying to get trimeth (his new antibiotic) in pill form. Right now it's a liquid, but cats generally hate the flavor -- Max goes ballistic even when we add chicken bouillon to it and follow up with a syringe of water. And he has to have it twice a day.

Poor Max. And poor you and Hubs. I hope the vet finds you the solid form soon.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Today, I am wearing leopard print ballet flats. So there.

If I wear a tight knit turtleneck, I might as well wear a nametag that says "Hello! I have boobs". In fact, it is one of Trinny and Susannah's original WNTW rules for hourglass figures. Not that that means this lawyer looked inappropriate, but the last time I tried one on (when I didn't generally wear tight clothing) and stepped out of the dressing room, the look on The Boys face is something I will never forget. If gay men have that reaction? It is not something I would wear to the office.

I don't know if you're kidding, but I actually do this. I have no idea if it helps, but it feels like it does.
