Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I kinda want to pull a quick strike in honor of the holiday, but only because I don't want to work, not demanding anything.

That would have been an excellent idea!

I don't think it is too much to ask that I should be able to put my cell phone in the front pocket of my jeans. Can we work on that?

Yet another thing to recommend Not Your Daughter's Jeans: big front pockets!

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

Oooh. Maybe next time I go jean shopping. I did see some at Nordstrom Rack on sale, but I wasn't looking for jeans right then.

I could call in sick, but then I'd just have more work to catch up on when I went back. I do have a vacation coming up, I should be patient.

In rabbit news, my girls (I guess they are inevitably going to be Lucy and Ethel, though I don't know if there's any way to easily tell which is Lucy and which is Ethel, so maybe they should be Lucy&Ethel like FitzSimmons or something) have turned upside down, chewed on, and tossed all over the cage the cardboard box that the rescue people gave them for a litter box, while efficiently filling with poop one of their food dishes. Weirdos.

OMG, I'm literally sitting here wasting the morning (until the review I have do now), and my boss comes in to check on some stuff we promised to get done, and I was like, "Sure, I can take care of that, but they don't need it til Thursday, right?" RIGHT. TODAY IS THURSDAY. WTF, Jesse.

I guess the good news is that tomorrow is Friday?

Because books.

Shit, it's Thursday.

At least it stopped raining.

So Happy It's Thursday

ETA I still haven't changed from my distance glasses to my "office" glasses. Because of running around on urgent must be done first thing stuff. Sigh.

Yesterday I was briefly convinced it was Thursday, and when I was on my way home and checking to see if some packages had been delivered, I saw "delivered Wednesday" and thought "LIES AND SLANDER I DID NOT GET ANY PACKAGES LAST NIGHT." Oopsy-daisy.

I just managed to break the shower. Or at least the part you pull up on to get the shower on. Argh.

I think I have replaced that before, Amy.

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

Jesse, I heard about that, and I was wonder if (spoilers for the already aired finale) it was just a happy accident that the finale ended with that character having a gun on him, or if Shonda Rhimes was already planning on killing him off.
