Ugh, Consuela, that's so hard. I hope you can go for a nice long walk or go out to dinner with a good friend. Something to help you shake the shittiness.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm so sorry, Consuela. What a lot of crap you have to deal with.

Consuela, I'm sorry.
In other craptastic news, my boss is retiring in June. Not unexpected, at all, and he's put it off for a while now so we'd have his voice during all the changes so not undeserved, either.
I just wish he'd been able to stay for another year (while we figure out the new Dean).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just blithely placed an order for a $6 pair of hose, and didn't realise it defaulted to UPS Next Day Air for shipping. Thankfully I used Google Wallet and it was sitting there telling me I had 15 minutes to cancel my order. GOOD LORD. $6 hose means if they arrive too late for the wedding, I won't cry. It does not mean I'm going to pay $62 to get them tomorrow.
Speaking of the wedding, I have a construction question--I'm going to use a piece of ribbon as an ad hoc choker. Is there a simpler way to tidily fasten the back than attaching a snap fastener, but with the end rolled over and stitched down so you can't see it?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hil, if you're still on the lookout for a menorah, Apartment Therapy has a nice roundup:
Thanks. I think I'm going to wait until I can go to an actual store, though -- I've had a few too many experiences of buying Judaica stuff on the internet where the object delivered looked really different from the photo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, speaking of hose! I had a stroke of genius at Target. I'm always looking at the tights for sale, and know that the M/T size probably won't quite fit me (I am definitely NOT medium), but it didn't occur to me until now to just go up a size! I am so happy in the 1X/2X size right now, I don't even know. Do other people have this feeling all the time? That your tights are big enough? It's amazing.

No, I almost never have that feeling that my tights are big enough. Signed, they mostly do not make tall sizes and going up a size does not help.

Mostly I feel that the 1x/2x size it too tall! I have to fold it on my thighs!
