Though, I have worked all through July. I'm running a 300 kid writing contest this weekend. And it's back to work on next Thursday.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have it in my head that I really like sweet pickles, but I really only like particular sweet pickles that are not all that sweet. Cascadian Farms stopped making their baby sweets and only make relish, which I don't like as much (which is a phenomenon we studied in business school, something to do with margins, I always think of that when I am combing the shelves for a good sweet pickle) and then the local brand I found disappeared entirely as far as I can tell so there is a sweet pickle shaped void in my life. And I can't make them the way I like them, tried and failed.
My old mortgage servicer bought back my loan and are already annoying me - my payment is due, but they haven't finished transferring all my information from the interim servicer so I can't verify that my escrow account exists, and they want to charge me a fee for the "convenience" of paying my bill in the only way available to me. Sigh. I am halfway tempted to refi again just to get away from them, but I have no confidence that whoever I went with would actually keep my loan and I sure as hell don't want to get an appraisal.

Question:
what do you call the items that you place on your feet and are intended for use inside your home?
I have heard a new term for this today that surprised me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I had only heard "slippers" until a friend called them "house shoes."
But I heard a 3rd term today that I had never heard before:
"room shoes"

Because books.
Slippers! Or, if you were my awesome MiL, scuffs.
