Cake is always good.
I am here to validate your choices, buffistas.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

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

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I might have just ordered a cake.
I don't know if you can still do this, but back in the day when I worked at McDonald's in high school, you could buy a birthday cake to take home, as long as there was one available and there were no parties scheduled. Not bad cake, either.

Dang, roasted fennel is hella good.
Oooh, that's an idea.
For dinner, I made a big salad (kale, chard, fennel, red cabbage, sweet red pepper, chickpeas, dried cranberries, and walnuts, with a tahini-honey-cider-vinegar dressing), and also ate a chicken sausage for protein. And now I'm finishing the last of my TJ's chocolate-covered almonds. NOM.
This almost makes up for all the potato chips I ate at book club last night. Almost.
Spending the evening reading through this awesome series of posts about Bruce Springsteen. Lots of stuff I didn't know here...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Wow. [link] I can't even finish replacing the sisal on the cat trees I do have.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I had my yearly review today and got promoted (I'm now Director of HR) and a 10% raise! I'm really glad my last company fired me.

Yay, Scrappy! Congratulations, and no doubt well-deserved.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Congrats, Scrappy! That's fantastic!
That cat habitat is amazing.

'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"
That kind of success is the best kind of revenge, Scrappy.
Meanwhile I had a phone-screen interview yesterday that went really well. Fingers crossed that this is at least the start of the tide turning jobwise for me.

That's great, Scrappy! I forget--are you on LinkedIn? I do hope you'll update your listing, so everyone (especially former employers) can share in your happiness. And apologies if we connected there ages ago. I can never keep track of things on that site. But I do get an email when my connections there announce promotions.
Improved job hunt~ma, Theodosia!

Yay Scrappy!
Good luck Theo. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
I am up and dressed but I can't find the werewithal to leave the house. I am suffering from the coffee conundrum. I need to go get coffee, but I need the coffee to get me going.
