I'm wearing a cameo today, no insect. This is like playing the lottery. One day I'll get it right!

Anyone who enjoys the Scandinavia and the World comic should look at this immediately. I had to mute my phone very quickly:

I'm wearing my dragon necklace and will choose to believe that it counts. (I wear it every day, but still.)
Baby of Nilly is totally my happy place today.

I have a shirt with dragonfly and flower print ... again, too late to wear today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is like playing the lottery.
Exactly! Preparation is boooring.
What kind of bugs, Kat?
Oy. I have to present to the business analysts Nov 1. Let me write that down. 45 minutes of me me me over the phone and with a lovely PPT presentation. I haven't given this particular speech in, like, 15 years.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I was actually wearing an amber necklace, which ought to count.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, in a call-back to an earlier discussion, here's someone arguing for GSM -- gender and sexual minority -- as the term that can include homoromantic asexuals (edit: I MEAN HETERO-), because (this person says) queer does NOT. [link]

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I am having a lovely relaxing day so far.
Today is Wear An Insect day, BTW.
I found a spider on my shoulder earlier, does that count?
Happy birthday, Sue! What are you going to feed yourself on this vacation/birthday?
I travelled all the way across the harbour today to have a pain au chocolat the size of my head and a great latte. [link]
It's all I've had so far today and I''m seeing two movies tonight, so I better make something for supper.
Nilly, you have the happiest baby ever. So adorable.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, Amy!
Happy Birthday, Sue!
Hey DC locals - my mom fell biking and broke her arm. I'd like to send her some fabulous comfort food she can eat with one hand. Any recs for catering type places that might do this?
We're fans of Jason's Deli, which delivers. But the closest they have to Chevy Chase is in College Park.
