I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

hip deep in pie

My response to this AM's news was to freak out for an hour, the fall into a deep sleep again. And I feel like I could go back to bed again.

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

That sounds about right.

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

My current strategy for getting through the day (at least while no one else is in the office - YAY THANK YOU) is to do one task, then look through one page of random Pinterest. It is much more enjoyable than straight work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Once it gets below five degrees out, our office furnace can't keep up, and for every degree it gets lower outside it's also a degree lower inside. So it's probably 50 in the office considering it's -14 out. So I told my boss I'm not coming in today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is the office open?? That is crazy.

I didn't hear anything from my boss so I don't know.

'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"

This seems to be the part of the broken bone experience where it aches and vaguely itches no matter what you do to keep it still.

A drop or two of laudanum would go over nicely about now.

I went to TJs on Saturday and bought a couple of jars of coconut oil. 1 for cooking and 1 to experiment as a moisturizer like was being discussed (here or bitches?) anyway, just one night putting it on my lips before bed and they are much much better. so YAY!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I almost (but not quite) feel guilty at our balmy weather here in SF.

After I dropped Matilda off at school I ran all the steps at Kezar Stadium before I came back upstairs. Gotta move my body more this year and so far so good.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

It's actually quite warm here (54), but it's pouring rain so it doesn't feel very warm. It's supposed to drop back down to 10 tonight.
