Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Yay, Grace! Good luck!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Go Grace! How exciting!

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

I am fretting because I cannot figure out how to add veggies to my lunch. I have kale and carrots and broccoli and lettuce but they seem to all take more prep than I am willing to take on this morning.

ETA: I remembered I have a powdered supplement for just just an occasion. Whew.

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

Jilli, insent!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

So excited for Grace! Yay!!

Oz, the cat, seems to basically have stopped eating. He has lost weight in the last week, I am sure of it. He is drinking water and I think he ate a couple of treats today.

msbelle, that's what happened with Damien when he first developed diabetes. It might be worth getting him checked out. Or, he could have just been missing you. Either way, fingers crossed for Oz's continued health.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

My morning, or why fasting blood tests are a bad idea.

As I started down my driveway, several cars honked at me and I couldn't figure out why. There is no universal honking code for "The trash people left your can in the middle of your driveway, and you're about to hit it." Then I got to Kaiser, where they're installing a new computer system. That added quite a bit of time to testing and picking up a prescription. I got an apple fritter on the way home, because blood sugar. It was thrown on the floor when the person ahead of me suddenly decided to do an illegal U-turn. When I got home, there were county trucks in front of my house doing something to the pipes under the street.

Oh boo! Apple fritters are delicious and that U-turn driver owes you a new one!

I am listening to a "work/life balance" seminar on my computer, to earn points for some work program or other. Notably I am only vaguely listening to it, since the audio is through the computer and I can barely understand it...and I disbelieve that they have much to tell me about work/life balance other than "sorry, your job sucks for that"

Oh, Ginger, that's a rough morning. I'm sorry.

That sounds pretty ironic, meara.

I think my bad procrastination habit has more to do with stress than my job, usually, to be fair. But yesterday I was feeling super anxious and could not for the life of me figure out if it was that I was forgetting something or just anxious or what. Feeling better this morning though--I had a migraine on the plane and finally took some meds when I got home and slept for 10 hours. Yay. Now if I can get a bunch of work done today, I think I'll feel a lot better.

They did at least finally clean up the audio portion--there were squeaks and screeches and beeps and people talking etc, and everyone was typing in the webinar box that bad audio made them stressed! :)
