Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thank you everyone. I think this is hitting me right in the mid-life crisis you were talking about earlier.

Sue- I so wish I did not have to get up BEFORE 6 to get to work! I am actually very late right now because I did not sleep well, and I fell back asleep.

I am not sure I could see the Blue Man Group without thinking of Tobias from Arrested Development and giggling.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Sophia, that's tragic, and I am so sorry.

Punishingly Intricate

How very sad, Sophia. I'm so sorry.

Sophia, that's sad, I'm sorry.

Random: I can no longer hear Al Spoler (local npr/pbs food guy) without picturing him in swim trunks. He's a regular at the pool. It's weird. Also, I can smell everything today. Like, the breath of two people walking 6 ft in front of me. People stink. I can only hope to get through my meetings today. Thank god I don't have the one with the guy whose breath repulses me on non-hypersensitive days. It's not that he has bad breath, it's just bad to me.

'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"

That's really sensitive, sara. I wonder how dogs cope.

My officemate brought mac&cheese for lunch. With tomatoes. It's in an insulated bag, and presumably in tupperware. At least, I'm 90% certain of this, but I'm not going to ask, cause that would be weird.

Please let it not be fish day or fish sauce day for the guy next door. Please.

I've smeared my hands with a gingery lotion, but it is barely blocking stuff.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I wonder how dogs cope.

They eat garbage, roll around in roadkill, and use their tongues as toilet tissue. People's breath is the least of their worries.

I don't understand why I now love "70's lite rock" station on Pandora so much. I did not particularly like it in the 70's.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Oh Sophia, I'm so sorry.

I hate when I have days where I can smell things sharply. It's just too much.

Today w are the hospital for Grace's surgery (good surgery ~ma would be appreciated). But the PTU is already jammed...so much so there aren't even seats. Her surgery is not until 9:30, but there are no beds or pre-op rooms available. Ugh. I guess it means no omelet for me today.

Because books.

Oh, Sophia, that's really sad. I'm so sorry.

Tom, I hope today is better.

sara ... I don't know what to say about your super!nose. Weird! I hope it passes.

I don't understand why I now love "70's lite rock" station on Pandora so much.

Every once in a while I get really nostalgic for childhood tunes and go looking for songs like "Brandy" and "Afternoon Delight" and "December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)" and "Sister Golden Hair." It's a thing.
