Teppy, for the green bean casserole, just make sure you reserve some of the onions to go on top. I didn't realize that the first year I made it and just put them all in, and then realized I didn't have any left to put on top!

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

I just made a co-worker mist up by giving him cookies. I think he thinks I'm a much nice person than I think I am, but he's been having a crap few weeks (12+ hour days) and I guess the little stuff helps.

The big stuff would really really help, I'm guessing.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

YOu know what doesn't help with getting all the cooking done, including what I didn't do last night as planned? SLEEPING UNTIL 11:30!! Ah well, I do love sleep.

coffee done
non-homemade cinnamon roles done

now I think shower, store for the few things I need and then pie-apalooza, with bonus side dishes.

Airline personnel work T-day - all transportation folks do. I just don't like the spread into retail. I will not shop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My boss just claimed I promised to tell her something I have no recollection of. Ah well.

Update: Union Station does not smell of SpaghettiOs. It's a little oniony.

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.

Success! Grabbing Molly to administer her antibiotics was a no-go, but she's more than happy to wolf down wet cat food in a medicine sauce.

Shit, man. When I see things by family members like this:

Thank you to everyone for all the kind words and support in my time of transition!

My heart really jumps into my mouth with wondering what I missed. Oh! She just opened her own practice. I thought it was something big. Good good.

I am terrified about my commute home. Talk about things that can't go well. I wonder if leaving half day and working from home for the rest of it would even make a difference...

Oh for fuck's sake -- apparently I was supposed to individually tell every single person that I am leaving. I thought the word would get out! Now I'm in trouble because there are people who got the invite to my going away party who I hadn't spoke with. Everyone can fuck off.

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

Everyone can fuck off.

Yes they can! You're pretty much in the Leslie Knope/White Male Senator catbird seat at this point, aren't you?

I have to stay at work for two more hours. Can I come up with two hours of stuff to do? Doubtful.

YESSSS!! What are they going to do, fire me???
