hip deep in pie

That is good progress Suzi.

Sorry that everyone had crappy days.

I would have been here to commiserate, but I had a doctor's appt, after which the migraine that's been threatening for two days hit. It was the first really painful one I've had in a long time, so I guess I should consider myself lucky. My head is still pounding slightly, but I am at work, so we'll see how the day goes.

My last two doctor's appointments, my doctor has been pretty close to on time. I'm used to expecting her to be 30 minutes late. I think there's some kind of new world order.

'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"

Suzi, that's really good improvement, yes! I hope he feels the tide has turned!

I was SURE this was a Friday. I'm unemployed anyway, so it being one more day to the weekend is not so important, but it's strange to have planned the day out on the assumption of what day it is and find I've missed a step on the staircase.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am grateful the sun is shining and I am no longer on the verge of tears. So that's good! Onward and upward!

I hope other people have ridiculous good-luck charm kinds of things, because I had my coffee this morning in the joke "Employee of the Year" mug an old employee gave me once. (It was a set from The Office.) I like to use it before big and/or tough days at work!

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

That's a good one.

Hey grammar people, in "newly elected government," I don't need a hyphen, right?

Because books.

No, you don't, Jesse. And good luck!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Right.

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

Good luck, Jesse, may the day bring more light and happy than you are expecting.

I do that sort of thing too, turning everyday items into totemic objects that can help me through a tough day. The right coffee cup is key, and I wear something made by my daughter. I even carefully select for certain underwear on those days. Because I am a dork, apparently.

Underwear is excellent for that purpose, because you know it's there but no one else does.
