UPS normally leave on the porch, but in this case left in the thingie used to hold delivered newspaper - which is not where I would normally think to look for a UPS package.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Remember that Very Onerous Task that I alluded to earlier this week? My appointment to start resolving it is at 9 AM. Really, I know it's the sort of problem that can be resolved with money (possibly, if things don't go my way) but I'm rather apprehensive all the same.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You can do it, Theo! Here's to the quickest resolution for the smallest amount of money.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
which of the following are made less effective or less stable and long lasting by freezing?
Pills/tablets/capsules should be fine. The ointment should be fine. Not sure about the flonase. Definitely ask your pharmacist.

Good luck, Theo!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Easy resolution ~ma, Theo!
I am officially out of coffee. Having the last of the instant right now AINFG. It wasn't terrible when I first bought it but it's been open and on a shelf for, I don't know, probably years? Bitter.
But I am drinking it because coffee.
Yeah, I don't think that's a preposition.

Theo, I hope it is continuing apace right now.
Uhg, leafing fallout this morning. I am reluctantly acknowledging I must have a slight allergy to leaf mold or something. The sneezing and sinus rage after I muck in them are not amusing. Also, my wrists hate me. May need to do some painkiller tag-teaming.

Good luck Theo!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think I don't know what prepositions are. Is there a Schoolhouse Rock about those?
Per my 6th grade English teacher, a preposition is what a squirrel does to a tree. Up the tree, down the tree, above the tree, below the tree, beyond the tree, under the tree...
There's a handful that rule fails for, like "during" and "about" but I've always liked it.
It's funny, this particular teacher was THE WORST at the time - she blatantly played favorites and was just plain mean to students she didn't like - but after that year I never had to study for another grammar quiz in my life. I can still recite most of the articles from memory (a all an another any both each every few many...)

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty
I am at the office, although I don't have full confidence that I will be able to speak at the meetings I'm meant to facilitate.
I hate being so sick that I drop the ball on things and don't even know I've done it until people are calling to find out where I am, like missing a fannish brunch on Sunday while I was in a blanket burrito.
