Condolences, Matt.

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

I stumbled on getting a word out in a meeting with a gruff director I don't talk to much--I could not say "inviolable" to save my life. In fact, I'm still second guessing myself.

However, stumbling and righting yourself with "Oh, never mind--impregnable, then" seems to be a real crowd pleaser.

IT'S VOCABULARY. IT'S NOT FOR LAUGHS.

None of my scheduled payments are showing up as transactions in my account, and yet the payees think they've been paid. Including my mortgage. Which is making me a little paranoid.

Some fucker is going around paying your bills for you!

Hah, I wish. No, I suspect it is just holiday-lag issues, but I dislike it when my bank account is posting the wrong information!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That happens to me all the time, sarameg, and so far everything has actually been paid and all the various records eventually agree. I guess the information of where the money is propagates differently through the systems.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm so sorry, Matt.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh Matt, that's so sad. I'm sorry.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Did they get poofy?

They did. They're a lot more tender than store bought, too. Possibly because they were only 15 minutes old when I tried one.

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

I have faxed off my FSA receipts for 2012, gotten my medical spend for taxes (I think I might file early this year...), played both pending Scrabble moves, and I think it's time to hit the pharmacy to fill my two remaining prescriptions and then go home and meditate on where I'm working from for the last two days of the week.
