I split my time between 2 offices - one is open plan with team tables and tons of natural light. The other, I have an office and no windows at all.

I told her she could go to court and change her name when she grows up if she's still mad about it then, and she said tearfully, "Mommy, when I grow up, will you show me where the court is and take me there?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know what I enjoy? Idly thinking about what's for dinner and what I'm going to get at the supermarket after work, and clicking on Serious Eats to find a recipe labeled "Dinner tonight" that will TOTALLY be my dinner tonight! [link] I should do more poached eggs on things.
