I am allergic to Puffs Plus. It is tragic.

Uh, what, bonny? What happened?

Notes in bitches, Zen. It's a time of massive change in this little 'ol life o mine.

I am allergic to Puffs Plus. It is tragic.

It IS. I can't even imagine. I'd have to switch to lawn hankies, and laundry, and I don't EVEN want to think about it. I'm very sorry, Sophia.

Applied at the library.

Whew. I'm all dizzy with the running around and the screaming and the stuff and the guys.

I'm just gonna sit down over here and...you know, like...sit and...

And the finance admin said they had only budgeted for so much and the ED said that that monthly additional cost times x number of employees times 12 months was "a lot of money".

Hey guess who is failing a class again?

Dinner was a bowl of baby spinach, unadorned, eaten with my fingers. And now I'm researching replacing faucets for which I have to turn of the water because there's no cutoff valves at the faucet. It's old enough that just trying to replace the washers would be evil (this is for my basement washtub sink, so replacement is cheap.
