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

Yay, being a slug!

I assumed ratings, but I have not looked into it. I thought it was doing okay on Tuesday night, but maybe not.

OK, I've made waffles and gotten all the duck eggs hard cooked (some deviled, some steeped in tea, all delicious based on my sampling for quality control), so I guess breakfast is taken care of for a while. I think I'm going to bow to the nigh irresistible pressure from the internet and make some salads in mason jars for lunches. And I should mow the lawn and do my taxes and finish that last lesson for my on-line class. And do laundry. Always there is laundry.

Maybe after I veg on the couch for a little while I will feel more like doing any of that.

Just catching up on this week's Scandal, and I think it's hysterical that B613 is essentially funded using the same scheme that failed in Office Space.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Also, have we talked about the goat-sheep, or geep?

If you had a female geep you could get milk, wool, and a highly entertaining lawn mower out of one critter.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Geep is cute. I needed that.

And yay -t for the bunny! Very good news.

Thanks for the sympathy. I still can't believe it's really happening. Now that I have more details about the kind and extent of her cancer... well... it doesn't look great. I'm holding close to the possibility that her prognosis improves, and that she can enjoy the time she has with her grandkids. I know her, and I know how much she loves those kids (and I know she includes our kids in that circle). But DH is pretty heart broken. I hope we can go see that branch of the family over spring break.

I hope your hopes are fulfilled, Burrell.

Instead of doing all the things I listed in my last post that I have to do, I made teriyaki pork and cabbage in miso custard. Because that was easier? I don't even know.

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

Jesse, I'm glad at least you had witnesses, and I hope that it helps him as much as possible within the system.

Burrell, what whiplash! My heart goes out to your family.

I thought it was doing okay on Tuesday night, but maybe not.

I was startled when they started out burning it off, but I didn't know bad was that bad. Then again, what good things happen after/during an episode burnoff?

Yeah, I suck at being a slug today. I have outdoor clothes on. I have organized the garage and may, hopefully, get my car in there soon. I have a pile to take to Goodwill which is next on my to do list. Then I'm thinking Fro-Yo and then Petco. Plus I need to come up with a plan for dinner.

Wow, you are on top of things, Suzi!

I have gotten dressed. Which I hadn't, last post. So.

ETA: Raising Hope - I didn't even draw the "burning off episodes" conclusion, I just thought they didn't have anything else to run with it...

Ok. Donations done. Petco achieved. Fro-yo decided against. I kinda don't want to go home but I don't want to spend more money. Don't know if CJ will be home for dinner, so I'm stymied on dinner plans.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Pedicure/lunch outing with my friend was quite enjoyable, of course, despite/because-of her clingy attention-hogging adorable 6-year-old daughter. She was being such a brat, and I couldn't help laughing at her.

I bookmarked the bunny page in case I ever lose my mind and get a bunny. My BFF loves bunnies.
