OMG, I hate everything and am fantasizing about spraining my ankle or something else minor that still means I can't go to work for a while. I guess I could use a vacation?
I was just thinking a stomach bug might not be so bad right now.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Lee, maybe we can just plan a day off instead?

I haven't left the house since Saturday. Stupid winter. Stupid cold. The only good thing about this cold is that I am miserable enough not to think about how miserable winter is. But I cannot recommend it...last night I got almost no sleep because I couldn't lie down without coughing. Even being propped up by money pillows wasn't helping. Finally, taking more cough medicine than was probably safe and some tea with honey let me get a few hours of sleep.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I would like some of those money pillows.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My pillows have no money. They are really failing.
Slightly related: people, my magical heated mattress pad is on its last leg! It has a setting that will turn itself off after 10 hours if you don't turn it off before that. However, now it's started turning itself off after 3 or 4 hours. I think that may be a sign it's time to get a new one. I mean, I'm *glad* it's turning itself off early if that means we won't get flambeed while we sleep. But clearly it's time to get a new, presumably safer, one.
And really, it's 7 years old, which is probably an exceptionally long run for a heated mattress pad.

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

It's just a case of the seven year heated mattress itch.
(Now that sounds wrong.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I haven't left the house since Monday, myself, except to bring the trash bin up on Tuesday. That was enough. Cold and windy. Today it's 11 degrees. But it's supposed to be 50 on Sunday! Please let that be the end of winter.
I hope those poor dogs get back to their owners, and the humans gett back home safely too. What a terrible thing.

I just wish it wasn't so cold out. Poor little boos.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I should probably feel guilty that it is relatively warm here, just foggy, and that I have the day off tomorrow. But I don't. Wish I could share, though!
The filter is breaking on the french press I use at work, though. It's not like I don't have any trials and tribulations.

No sign of van or dogs yet.
Oh, no! Doggies!
I put on my epic winter coat and begrudgingly came to the office today. I see a lot of empty desks from people who probably are working from home. I would have done that, but I have meetings to run and it's awkward to do that from a laptop with cats on your keyboard.
I just chatted with an internal recruiter, and I guess my Dublin interview went better than I thought. They think I'm good and are trying to find a role for me, since the one I interviewed for was too junior for my experience level.
