this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

BLTA sandwich

Does A = avocado? Because that makes everything better. (Also bacon, even in turkey form.)

They have a sandwich like that at a place in my office lobby but I get it with hummus instead of avocado. Nom.

That is correct. Vegetables in particular are much more bitter to young kids.

How the hell was this not in my arsenal of facts to throw at my mother while I sat at the table for hours wailing over being required to eat broccoli.

Though my mom was pretty good about stuff like that. You never got a whole separate meal, but for a long time she would pour out a bowl of frozen peas (straight from the freezer) and put them out for me to eat in lieu of having more than a bite of whatever other veg she had made.

Still. It's the kind of thing my snotty inner 7-year-old would have loved to throw out there.

Punishingly Intricate

My fave picky eater kid quote is my friends' daughter, maybe 3 or 4 at the time, refusing to eat a piece of grilled chicken "That piece got cooking on it!" because piece had a little toasted brown bit.

I took a look at my work email and got exhausted just trying to set up my out of office message saying I'm sick today. oof.

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

No work e-mail for you, lisah! Rest and get better. Ugh.

Mmm, BLAT (although I prefer the T in paste form).

Pretty annoyed that work is wanting me to work. As usual.

Yeah, seriously. Why the fuck we gotta work?

My body is not behaving. I think there might be things in places that don't belong there. I guess a call to the doctor is in order. But I can't make that call from the office, so I guess I need to go home for lunch.

That will give the opportunity to eat healthier, so bonus. Oh maybe also take care of an errand. Ok, now I am looking forward to the excursion instead of dreading having to move.

The only reason I'm accomplishing anything today is because I've got my headphones in and I'm cranking the new Fall Out Boy album.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I want more sleep. And today is the day I can get stocked up on it. The next two days start hours earlier than usual because of staff meetings. Except can't just crawl back in bed now. I have to go get an oil change and buy cat food.

Lisa, that sounds miserable. Feel better!

And Calla, your daughter has been in hospital a few times, right? So she knows what grandma is going through!

Yeah, she is unfortunately a pro. While she was asking her about what kinds of things the doctors were doing to help her, she pauses at one point to listen to my mom's answer and then goes, "Yeah, I know how that is." I was cracking up. She sounded so grown up commiserating and making sure the doctors were doing everything right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, I just did a terrible job co-leading a meeting. Tired.
