I made bread yesterday and served it, along with some other snacks, to friends who came by to watch The Librarians. It felt so old school-- breaking bread with friends. I didn't strictly need a thermometer for it, but I used one to make sure the interior reached the right temperature, as it's a new to me recipe.

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

That sounds lovely, Calli.

So, was awoken by sirens around midnight, which usually I can ignore and go back to sleep, but these stopped abruptly nearby and then I heard voices, so I got up to see what was going on. Cul de sac full of cop cars with lights flashing. One or two guys arrested and a motorcycle impounded by the end of it. I'm not sure what was going on, but I couldn't go back to bed until all that excitement was over. Tired now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I stayed up to watch the Golden Globes, but realized that I don't actually care! I mean, it was nice, but up past my bed time nice? Eh.

Today is going to be a Getting Things Done morning, followed by an afternoon interview. Part of the things had better involve some pre-interview research on the company and work they do....

I forgot my keys this morning, so I've got that going for me.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

It's time for my monthly shakedown of Client #2 to get them to cough up my check now that it's been a week past 30 days. Bless Client #1 forever for turning around invoices in 10-14 days.

Yes, I am playing a video of a pet fountain as part of my research for a water dish for the cats. Don't judge me, I'm trying to figure out if it will be annoyingly noisy.

I am onerous tasking! Who's with me? I have paid bills, assembled documents to register Casper for high school (!!!) next week, called the pediatrician to request proof of immunization and schedule the 2nd HPV shot for her, and vaccuumed. And done two loads of laundry and one sink of dishes.

I am working really hard not to be overwhelmed by the stuff in my house, which I feel I should make steps towards dealing with today. And I forgot to send in the after-school activity registration forms that were due today, so I am not a total rock star.
