I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My god, my husband is throwing away paper. It's a miracle.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Yeah, you will all not be surprised to learn that there is a lot of empty Jesusing on my friendslist. But there's a reasonable amount of peaceful overthrow of the state anarchism, too, so I figure it all balances out. The juxtaposition is pretty funny sometimes, though.

Then you get me in the middle posting things like "I made pot pie! Here's a picture of it!"

I'm like the Ralph Wiggum of Facebook.

Or from me: "CAT X DID THIS." "Here's my current house project!"

Man, my ear finally cleared so my hearing is normal, but the amount of snot coming out of my head is truly epic. The human body amazes and disgusts me with the ability to produce snot.

And my nose is now chapped.

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

I love my neti pot.

I'd need a hose. My problem is production rate, not getting it out. I have something similar (squeezy thing) but ....I need a hose.

Loki was upstairs "supervising" Pumpkin play. He was fascinated, she was unperturbed and KRAXY-kitten-PLAY. High hopes!

I have a Teppy-style apple crisp in the oven. I did add a bit of ginger cause that is my OTS. I want it ready NOW.

Don't have a crisp, but I got a Loki curled up blissfully at my belly and a Pumpkin against my feet. And she hasn't hissed at him once during tonight's downstairs time.

Loki is a good tactile stress reliever. A 14+ lb furry squeeze toy.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I just ordered school uniforms for Grace. It's hard to find school uniforms in Toddler sizes.

So the giant grant I was working on at school? the staff voted 25 to 18 to NOT submit it. That was pretty irksome and I was super annoyed. One of the women who was crowing that we didn't have to do it? She's an out of the classroom person who was hired by the previous principal and needs this principal's approval and line in the budget to stay? I think she voted herself out of a job... and she was pleased.

The net result -- we will no longer be eligible for $1.8 million and we will lose ~3 and 6 teachers next year.

Essentially, though, what it means is that we will be restructured, everyone fired and have to reapply for their jobs or they are going to give up the school to a charter.

The staff is so short-sighted.

WTF?! You ALWAYS go after grants.

Because books.

Holy shit, Kat. That's absurd.
