I had a feeling I would need extra food today, so I basically had two breakfasts at once. So far so good.
Also, made French press coffee at my desk so it could be half decaf Peet's Holiday Something, half TJ's Wintry Blend. Not bad.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The (excellent, nationally ranked) magnet high school in our fair city starts in 7th grade.
OK, that makes a little more sense, at least.
My real lunch problem is a noon meeting. So do I eat at 11:30, or hold out? I'm guessing the noon meeting will be short, but we'll see.

Sigh. I somehow managed to leave all my notes from big meeting last week and my meds at home today. This'll be interesting.
Didn't you just say you were already hungry, Jesse? Eat now.

Even seventh grade...I can't.

Eat first, the meeting will seem to go faster that way....
signed, about to eat lunch herself.

Having two cups of half-caf probably defeats the purpose, huh?

Not if your purpose is to drink two cups of coffee without jitters!

I guess my purpose at this point is to stay awake through the work day, but no jitters does sound good.

Yeah, sometimes I'd rather drink less-strong coffee in larger quantities.
I had some of my lunch before the meeting and some after and now I'm full! Good one. (NB: I'm pretty much always hungry by 11, but try to hold off eating until noon....)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I had the glimmer of an idea last night as I was trying to fall asleep. We know how fast we are moving through time, it's always one second per second, so if Heisenberg applies we can never know where we are temporally.
Makes total sense. So this is why if I know exactly where I am, i.e., I am focused on what I'm doing and my mind is calm, I lose track of time.
Leggings are pants now. In a world where "nonplussed" means "not bothered" and "whoa" is spelled "woah" and no one seems to know that "voila" is not "wah-lah", and people wear their underwear on the outside and pajamas in public and flip-flops to work, leggings might as well be pants. There's no garrison to make a stand on anymore. It's anarchy. I'm wearing Uggs today, and tomorrow I might wear gauchos. As long as I can't see your buttcrack, I no longer care if you're wearing leggings as pants. end manifesto
