The things that get stuck in my head. The illustrations from the story (the aunt in her pitcher's stance, the headboard of the bed) popped up instantly when I saw the title of the story.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Actual answer ~ma, Sox. And treatment and so forth.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Good luck with the treatment, Sox.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Folks,
I had a 4 hour meeting, followed by a 45 minute meeting and I am physically done. All I want to do is go home and go to bed. I am not even joking.
I think if a meeting lasts longer than 2 hours, the organizers of the meeting should be put in shackles and publicly shamed.
I also need to receive a cash bonus.
Short of the above, I should be allowed to leave after 2.5 hours.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
TOO MUCH MEETING.

Hmmm, some department or office down the hall is getting a mini-fridge. Is breakroom chaos brewing? The Wars of the Fridges? The Skirmishes of Half The Microwaves Don't Work have already broken out.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So, practical parenting advice needed. Can you steam open self-sealing envelopes? (The kind with the sticker you peel off, not the kind you lick.) Dylan wrote a letter to the Tooth Fairy and I need to read it before it goes under his pillow.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

A bit of Googling says no, but putting it into the freezer for a few hours might work. You might be able to just pull it open, depending on how good the adhesive is.

Odd names on the kids these days. There's a girl by the name of Chantal (phonetic), spelled Zont'l. Poor thing. And the new guy next to me, his name is Chalice.
Parents, express your creativity in ways that will not one day look at you and say "What were you thinking!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw! (I have no advice.)
I am so close to finishing my stupid deadline of today! I am just waiting on one final thing from one person, and everything else is signed off on.
I'm just glad it's still light out, because 7 isn't actually that late to work, but it seems SUPER late when it's been dark for four hours already.
