I'm staying home from school tonight (I can catch the lecture on the web tomorrow) because this cold is shifting from incipient to actual, and I'm scheduled for a six hour shift tomorrow, damn it.

But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
The tea discussion inspired me to make a cup of the pear caramel truffle tea Jilli sent in my Secret Santa gift. It's like dessert, it's so yummy.
I'm so glad you like it! Oh, and Teppy, the Red Velvet Cupcake tea is totally worth getting. Trust me.
I just had an email conversation with my agent that was NOT onerous (very few conversations with her are, actually), and kind of exciting. Not about the proposal I sent in, but other stuff.
The onerous task that IS looming over me is working on a new GCS column. I really, really need to do that. I may do a write-up of the Vampire Ball, and then work on an advice column.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
And they magically don't need any resources for the 18 years (give or take) before they enter the workforce?

My onerous task for the rest of the day will be making the house tidy for my sister and other relatives.

Except not really, because they wouldn't be getting paid, so we'll still have to cut SS [link]
(Yes, I know SS is fine, but they really just want to cut it).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've got the front yard as shorn and swept as it's getting today, taken a shower, and now I will relax with a nice cup of cocoa spice tea. I doubt I will get anything else done today.
Santorum, ptui.

Because books.
All kinds of getting-through-it ~ma for you and your family. That's a whole lot all at once.
