Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My weekend plans, while less exciting than Matt's, involve a dilemma. My boss is having a very small graduation party at her house this Sunday from 2-6 and I am invited. It is her immediately family, and everyone else is a professor. I have no plus one. In order to attend, I am going to need to either spend 60 dollars on a cab and/or spend 4 hours on a bus or walking to spend about 15 minutes there the way the bus schedule is on Sunday. Or I could stay longer, but then I would need to leave at 6 and somehow walk around a residental neighborhood not looking creepy until the next bus comes at 7. Either way it is my whole day. And they are only serving appetizers and desserts, so I will be super hungry. I want validation for not going.

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

Oy Sophia. As a friend of mine would say, that's too far to walk. Don't go.

Not even close. She is n the southeast suburbs and I am in the northwest city. The 2 professors I know and am friendly with are out of town. Gah!

But my boss got her doctorate, which is awesome. Nursing is weird because there is such a professor shortage that many people do not have a doctorate, but they are still professors.

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

Jennifer Aniston is advertising Smart Water.

And I realise, again, I'm a bitch.

I have another work crush. I know nothing about this man other than he's got a big work brain--he barely even works for my company. But he's on all my projects and he's haunting my brain.

I have this nagging sensation I am missing some financial responsibility, like I forgot a bill or something. And yet, nothing I can see. I do need to sort out my FSA; for some damn reason, my dental bills aren't hitting the account automatically this year, so I'm not getting reimbursed. And since the billing is electronic and credit, I have no paper receipts. I need to ask the dentist to print out my bills for the past year. Uhg.
