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

Amazon just messaged me that my hemispherical silicone molds have been delivered and now I just want to go home and try to make Thanksgivikkuh nuggets.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And yet I haven't had one for a couple of years.

That's because I'm getting yours and a few other people's besides.

Thanks for the birthday happies, you guys!

And happy anniversary to sj!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Bah, the local burrito place near us closed. How is that even possible?

OMG, I hate that, Dana! It ruins my day.

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

Gnargh. My ankle needs ice again. It's not even the kettlebell--I haven't done more exercise that affects my ankle other than carrying it a little. And I was just considering yesterday as babying it, and I need to stop using the cane to get between my car and my desk.

But it's tweaky :(. I don't even want the handicapped parking spots anymore. But...shit...I hadn't thought about how the no-need-for-permit thing is seductive. All of a sudden--Westwood! Santa Monica! I better visit them more before I'm 100%.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Happy birthday, Jessica!

Happy anniversary, sj!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Anniversary, sj!

Happy Birthday, Jessica!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Happy birthday, Jessica!

Happy anniversary, sj and TCG!

Lunch: I'm having a boring old hamburger, myself.

Lunch? I had a salad. Mostly because I'm trying to recover from the cake & ice cream bonanza from the weekend. Also, most of the cafeteria offerings had mushrooms in them, and I don't feel like anaphylaxis today.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
