Royals didn't end up in last place so it was a banner year for me.

Go, A's! (Man, I hate that apostrophe. Just looks wrong.)

ION, my mother completely melted down on the phone tonight and I hung up on her. I don't see how we can do this unless and until we get her meds straightened out: she's a complete basket case.

Just so you know, this is something JZ frequently commented on during the year.

"The Royals aren't in last place? Gud must be happy!"

she's a complete basket case.

So don't ever ever move in with her!

She needs trained professionals who can keep her on her meds and deal with her crazycakes. That ain't you.

Which, I know is what you want and what you're trying to do. Just validating.

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

Unrelatedly, I feel an urge to pimp Wordnik all over everywhere. Not here, to the choir, but out there, with the unwashed lumpenprole (which isn't really in their system.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Royals didn't end up in last place so it was a banner year for me.

Woo!

So today when I got to work I was walking through the loading dock and did a double take at a guy I was crossing paths with and thought to myself, "Is that Ed Norton?" Yes. Yes it was. Tomorrow we'll have RFK Jr. in the building, but I've met him before. Thursday we get Elizabeth Gore and Lilly Ledbetter.

Cupcakes that ended up getting made, for those curious:

chocolate cupcakes and pumpkin-rum-maple cupcakes with crystallized ginger chips

Both of those were then either filled with sweet potato mascarpone, and covered in a caramel-pecan glaze, OR covered in cream-cheese lime frosting.

A little worried that the filled ones didn't really get filled--roommate was doing most of that part, and I don't think she quite got it (she mostly volunteered to wash dishes while I baked, and also ruined the planned maple mascarpone filling. Oops)

Cupcake competition party is tomorrow, we'll see how it goes. Either way, fridge is full of cupcakes, and we have lots of sprinkles in seasonal colors and shapes as well!
