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

Hooray, the soup that I left simmering on the stove while I was at work (unintentionally, I meant to bring it to a boil when I woke up and let it cool down all day but I didn't turn the burner all the way off) did not all boil away and burn the pot! It actually looks very good, and there seems to be quite a bit of it.

And my dryer is deigning to work to the extent that it will spin on the "Air Fluff/No Heat" setting for 20 minutes at a time. It will take a long time to get my clothes dry at that rate, but it's faster than the one minute at a time it will work with heat. I think I remember it doing this before (it's the "lint filter alarm" that keeps going off, though the lint filter appears to be rather clean) and I must have fixed it somehow, but I sure can't remember how. I remember trying to vacuum out the lint trap but while I clearly remember being very frustrated that the crevice tool wouldn't fit into the opening I do not remember that that tactic ultimately worked. But I supposed I'd better try it again.

There is way more just in this load than I have room to hang, sadly. I am just not set up for that.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Sephora sends offers of make-up, that's pretty good.

Except that the two makeup goodies that were part of my "Yay, it's your birthday month!" order turned out to be things I didn't like. However, the Thierry Mugler Angel gift box that I got with my Beauty Insider points? Awesome.

I need resume advice. I have a kick-ass resume that Strix created for me, and I love it. The recruiter I talked to today wants a different style of resume, where instead of having a big section that lists my skills/accomplishments, he wants a listing of what I did for each job. Which I can pull together, but that will make my resume HUGE. Should I only do that breakout for the past 5 years? Or should I create the enormous one?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It sounds like a pain in the ass, but having the huge one around seems like it couldn't hurt.

Speaking of lunch, I had yummy yummy Korean bib-bam-bip. With all the sides. I took the leftovers home, but I had to stop a few places, and now my car smells of fish cakes. Erm.

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

-t, I have a couple tennis ball sized balls that I toss in the dryer and I get a notable increase in efficiency due to better air circulation during the load. Probably can't hurt.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I hate winter. Especially in an old house. Surest thing to trigger an asthma attack for me is going too quickly between breathing warm air and breathing cold air, and right now, I think there's at least a 30 degree different in temperature just in different parts of my living room.
