I love the idea that I could borrow your sedated son to amuse Misha Collins. I'd love to horrify him and tell him I chloroformed him and stole a kid for the pic.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

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

They're very elastic at this point. They should earn their keep by being amusing, but with a cap on the amount of mess they cause.
We had to discuss site redesign at work today, and as far as I could tell, it would result in a loss of functionality. I pouted until they included a "revert to classic" option, to be called "revert to ita."
Why change, people? Why? Not today! Not this month! You're not doing it right. And fuck I need to finish testing so I can roll shit out in three weeks.

I should be grading. You know what I did today instead of grading? Made a birthday cake for my husband.

One of the advantages of being unemployed is having the time to eat out. So I texted my friend E and we went out for drinks, which was really dinner at this great little bistro nearby. I had a flight of wine and broccoli with chili flakes, and orochiette with rabbit. NOM.
Of course, as an unemployed person I shouldn't have done that. But I hadn't spoken to a not-retail person since 6:30 AM. I deserved something.

And ita should totally fill Kat's ball pit with cranberries, just on principle.

ARGH. We have started a new term. I have all new students in each class except AP. Grace has a fever. I feel like I need to stay here until the nurse comes, thus missing two classes, but a sub can't teach what I want taught. Fuckity.

Chalk up the eating out expense to mental health management. It's a small amount in the larger picture.
