It's probably never enough.

Powdered orange is intriguing, but not if you don't have a soda stream.

Oh MAN, today is full of I don't wanna. I think I'll go to the grocery, then the gym, then coffee then pharmacy then the girl scout store.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Happy Birthday, Sparky!

Hardly anyone is at my office today, and I'm finding it really hard to be motivated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man -- a former coworker's husband had opened a restaurant a couple of years ago, and I just saw on Eater that it's closed, AND there's an anonymous comment that refers to divorce, which would be so sad. They have at least one, and I think two, little kids, and I'm sure lost a ton of money on the business. That would be hard. At least my former coworker now has (what should be) a more stable job than she had here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Birthday Happies, Sparky!!

Happy Sparky Day!!!!

Lee is a taunting taunter who taunts.

At the blood donation center, awaiting my turn. I'm hoping my recent asthma escapades don't make me intelligible.

Today starts my five day weekend. Ahhhhhhhhh. I should have scheduled a massage. Might see if my gal has any availability. Gosh, that would be so nice.

Thanks, all. I am spending my birthday working, even though it is a holiday here, so that one of my colleagues did not have to come in (it is her birthday, too).

We are planning on finishing the move to the new house this weekend, but there is so much to do that I am feeling overwhemedish.

Happy birthday, Sparky!

I'm facilitating a Collaborate meeting for my org's Central American team. I really wish I'd taken Spanish in high school now.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, Sparky!

There's a funeral for a firefighter here this morning, for a man who died of a heart attack just after returning from a call. He was 61. What keeps catching me in the coverage is that he joined the CFD as a rookie when he was 43. It's kind of inspirational to think about.

(Really shitty November for the CFD. Three firefighters died in the past two weeks - one during a call from smoke, I think; this man; and another who was killed in a hit and run leaving a Veterans' Day function.)
