I want a three day weekend PLUS Wednesdays off. Pretty much, I wish I did not have to work.
Mighty fine shindig.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am very much looking forward to retirement! I have quite a while left to anticipate that, alas.

I am booked for Ecuador! Well, I am waiting for the confirmation that I've given them all the info they need to book me for Ecuador, but close enough.

Boot, bra, clothes, and work. This is my morning so far. I'm ready for a nap already but I have three conference calls back to back.

The one advantage of going back to Previous Employer would be getting back on a 9/80 schedule, which means a three day weekend every other week. So useful.
Dad's surgery must be over, I'm waiting for the doctor to come talk to me.

I feel like retirement is going to be wasted when I am old. I wish I could do something like a reverse retirement!
I also have an irrational hatred for the words "Plenary Session" at any conference that is just a tiny tiny thing that no outside people are invited to. It is too formal. Also, this particular "conference" has 4 plenary sessions and lunch. There are no other kind of sessions.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know that that hatred is all that irrational....

Yeah, I think I would like that. It wouldn't fly here, I don't think, because people basically work all the time.

I am pondering aspic(s) today. Why, why, why aspic? I have never had it, and I probably should try, but it seems so unappetizing. But, they were very popular from at least the late 1800's to, like, 1950, right? But WHY?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
why aspic?
There are lots of things that are objectively gross and disgusting that people nonetheless consume. Like cauliflower.

Because books.
Maybe because you could make it ahead and it didn't have to be served warm or really cold, Sophia? It's basically savory Jell-o, right?
I have inflamed lungs. And an antibiotic prescription. Whoo. My blood pressure was also 150/90 or something, which was unnerving. My blood pressure is usually normal to low.
So ready for winter to be over.
