Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Theo, glad you're feeling a lot better. Um, tomorrow, feel better still!

Preeeety Buffistas!!

Strix, I'm so sorry about your Greer kitty.

Do I want lunch? Breakfast was late, and dinner will be early, so I'm thinking no.

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

I just texted my boss. Told him I was really tired, so he's letting me leave.

He didn't say anything about Sue, though :(

We're actually busy with the rest of the world getting their end-of-year stuff done, so leaving early is unlikely.

shrift, the roasted beet pesto is really simple. Roast some beets in the oven, peel them, and chop them up. Throw them in a blender with olive oil, walnuts or pine nuts, and some parmesan. Use it on your pasta and watch the pasta turn a marvelous shade of fuchsia.

Sweet, thanks! I think I need to try that this weekend. I've already got spaghetti squash to roast and ingredients for spicy tomato & farro soup. I'm loading up on the vegetarian dishes.

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

Real life is a good look on him.

Mmm, I would like to be able to confirm that. Pictures are pretty nice, though.

Phew, just got confirmation that today is, in fact, a short day. I should probably feel worse that I have so much work left undone but I DO NOT

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mmm, I would like to be able to confirm that. Pictures are pretty nice, though.

Well, the best I can do is...he was dressed in casual clothes, had a hinged brace on his right arm, and had a grizzled short beard and was hot enough that I recoiled with it before my hazy True Blood memories came back.

I don't think I've reeled like that since Victor Webster was behind me in line at a cafe.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

meara, my kids say booty all the time, but people draw lines for kid-appropriate language in all kinds of weird places.

(And my personal standards may not be the highest, since only just yesterday my not-quite-four year-old asked me "Mommy why did you say fuck you?" after a driver ran a red light in front of our bike.)

So when you wake up with a crick in your neck, swim for over an hour and then spend another 2 hours running errands, perhaps you should do so on more than a pot of coffee and water. Made myself an arugula and parm omelet, but may take a bit for my body and mind to register this.

May make cookies later.

Aw, crap. Edward Hermann died.

meara, we curse in front of the kids all the time, so grain of salt this. But we do say booty and, more often, boot.
