A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Reposted, Sparky. Damn, I hope someone finds her.

We had a beloved Scotty named Sassafras (Sassy).

ION, had A BAD MOMENT this morning when the espresso machine wouldn't turn on. There was near-panic. But the little button on the wall switch had been turned off.

Have coffee. Praise Juan Valdez and his leetle burro.

Not early enough to get a swim in. And I don't go to bed until midnight.

Dentist appt today. In the middle of a fraught build. FUNTIMES.

I'm still at the stage where I'm all "Whoo! Get to WORK today!" The shiny will come off eventually... it's not quite a month since I accepted the job.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hang on to that feeling as long as possible!

I slept through my alarm for almost 40 minutes. Oops. I should have gone to bed earlier.

I had a classic Spare Cat incident in the night. I wake up, sweating with a hot flash, so I throw off most of my covers. And, I've found a really useful technique for getting it to go away faster, which is to hike up my nightgown so that the small of my back is exposed, because that seems to be a trigger point that if cooled off makes the rest of it calm down.

So Spare Cat helpfully comes over and curls up right against the hot spot. All that fur and that high cat body heat -- against the worst place she could have chosen. I suppose she's all confused as to why I'm objecting so much. SIGH

Bah! My boss's boss decided to sit in the empty cubicle right across from me!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Fill his head with lies! Lies, I say!

Today just went so above my paygrade.

Punishingly Intricate

I think I parked too close to the car (a Lexus) next to me in the parking lot. But I am the one w/in the lines. The other car is over the line. But it's making me kind of anxious. On the other hand, I'm wearing a boot thing for my ankle and it's a hassle to get around and I'd have to take it off to move my car.

That's what's going on in my brain right now! You are welcome.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

My sister was still at work at 11 PM last night. Why does it matter to me? Because it means I didn't go running this morning, since she wasn't waiting for me at 5:50AM today.

Oh, the dangers of peer-pressure-driven exercise schedules.

I solemnly promise to take the dog for a long walk tonight.
