It's like uncanny valley for a tv show.
THAT's the phrase I was looking for!

So glad that Boston is open again. Really surprised suspect #2 was taken alive. Since I am at work today, I may have to read up on Miranda exceptions.
Also, some terrible, horrible person stole all the coffee-making accoutrements (cups, pods, etc.) from the staff lounge. People, jeesh.

My brother tried to rebook on another bus to NYC this morning but they were all full, so he and his GF are trying their luck on a Chinatown bus that doesn't take reservations. I haven't heard anything yes, so I have a feeling they're not going to make our matinee today.

My children are WHINING about being taken to the symphony (children's concert.) One of the hardest things for me as a parent is the general ungratefulness of children. I cook a lovely healthy dinner, taking their tastes into account; they would rather eat spaghetti-os. SIGH.

I have been skipping making coffee at home all week in favor of drinking company coffee at the office (I am still a little boggled at free hot beverages at work. I have had an odd career path, such as it is, that has not included that particular perk very often) and for a minute there this morning I was afraid that I had forgotten how, but I pulled it off adequately.

Children really are ungrateful. I try to tell my mom thank you a lot to try and make up for it 30 years later.

It only stings, though, when you are anticipating some reaction other than indifference or ingratitude. I'd like to shake the kids.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh crap, speaking of mothers. I made plans to go out drinking this afternoon, but I forgot I still have to buy a present and some ingredients to celebrate my mother's birthday tomorrow!
