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.)

Happy Birthday, Sparky!
Today is day 3 of my so-called vacation. Which really isn't very vacationy. I have to make a pie this morning, and go to the store for cream (reverse those actually), and go to the drug store, and call doctor's offices, and deal with my parents and call the movers and and and...
Really wish I could go back to bed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There aren't deaths that make people deader, but "hit and run leaving a Veterans' Day function" does an extra thing to my gut.
not if you don't have a soda stream.
I've only become re-obsessed with it recently, but I've been drinking True Lemon for six years now. There's no soda stream dependency.
On the phone with the CIO, and she leads off with "One of the things I've heard is that ita ! hasn't done XYZ." Thanks guys. My boss thinks that it's all under control, but I'm still alone on the call, effectively, and our business user is now officially, over our heads, in an antagonistic position with all of us, and I've been nurturing that relationship since I showed up here. FUCK.

No need to put sparkly Sparky wishes in that bitter depressed post.
Happy natal!
Today I need to make a final crinoline decision, and I'm having a horrible time pulling the trigger.

Happy birthday Sparky!
I am so wiped y'all. Shortbread cookies are cooling, the pie is in the oven, pecans are spiced and packed, lentil salad mise en place are placed, hair dye is in.
That means I have two and a half hours to pack the car, wash the dye out, get dressed, pick the kids up from school and daycare and get on the road. Oh, and make car sandwiches. Oh, and eat lunch. Maybe. I've done too much cooking to be hungry but it's probably not a good idea to drive 300 miles on an empty stomach...
