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

I want a cake ball! TJs has these weird pancake balls that claim to be Swedish. They are kinda tasty, light and lemony. But I have no idea how you'd make them in a pan.

That was a staple in my house growing up, except that we called them Danish pancakes. I have a pan, and a recipe, but I never use them.

In not so onerous task news, I called the Surgicenter, told the nice woman who answered what account I was calling about, she took a moment to look at it, came back and said basically, "oh yeah, that's wrong. We've been having trouble with Blue Shield. Give me a while, and I can fix it for you."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay, nice woman!

I had coffee, which was, as predicted, kind of a mistake. I really need to buy some decaf pods.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks Ginger.

Okay, class has been taught, I think it went well. Now I have to do some work and then I have a 3 pm meeting. And then--ice skating!

Ice skating sounds awesome! After going to the ENT, I worked for a bit, then took a half hour nap before going to the hairdresser--I guess I still need more sleep than usual, I would've kept sleeping if I didn't have an appointment! Now I m contemplating how much work I want/am willing to do in the next six hours or so...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

msbelle-- if you haven't already, I urge to sign up for Linked in and apply for jobs through them. We advertised in several outlets and all our best candidates came from the ad we placed with them. It also helps because when you apply, your whole profile comes up, and you can have references, etc, up there already.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

God damned fucking people, show up for my meeting already. We have half an hour, and the CIO put me on mute.

HA! I got the one thing I was waiting for, so sent off the thing I've been trying to get done for literally months! In addition to a Big Draft, which I was a little worried about the lack of feedback I've gotten so far, but my coworker assured me that if it was bad, I would have heard already. So that's good. Now I just need to wait out the next 45 minutes.

Now my boss is being whiny with me because he didn't realise I was working from home today. Dude, I sent the email yesterday.

And no one is coming to my meeting. I am sadface.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

good one scrappy, thanks.

I showered and got dressed in outside clothes. Also took down 2 more strands of outside lights, only one string left outside.

Am not sure when my mom will call saying to come get mac. She picks him up on Fridays and went ahead and did it today even though it was a half day. They went to the movies.
