Lee, maybe we can just plan a day off instead?
From way back, but yes please. This week has just been epically NOT FUN, and mid March is just too far away.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

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.

On Wednesday I helped someone take someone (didn't succeed at getting it all) take nail polish off her finger nails. The three fingers I was holding the cotton balls with remover are now so dry and sandpapery that my new iPad no longer recognizes their fingerprints. Repeated applications of Amlactin and my own skin goop aren't making much improvement. Last night at bedtime I topped off the Amlactin with petroleum jelly based arnica ointment and covered my hand in a sock (can't find my cotton gloves). Upon waking, the sandpaper is a much finer grade. So, improvement but not much. At the moment I have that hand in a sandwich baggie into which I squeezed the contents of gelcaps of vit. E, and A & D supplements mixed with lavender and olive oils and aloe vera gel. Is there anything more or better I can do, because I am not confident this will do the trick. Also, it smells like fish and lavender.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, WindSparrow! I have no better ideas for you.
I just looked at my calendar, and I basically have meetings from 10 to 4. I have 15 free minutes at noon, and as much as a half hour at 1. I need to figure out my food strategy! Especially since the 12:15 is an interview, so I probably shouldn't eat through it....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This morning it was 4, with a windchill of -10. Much better than yesterday. But the maintennce guy in my building was still amazed that I was walking 9 blocks to the train station.
The walk was OK. I should get long underwear, as my legs were cold, but I compensated with lots of layers under my jacket so my torso was hot.

So, the dog thing yesterday? Not a carjacking. The van was left unlocked and running outside the daycare. Busted via surveillance video from across the street.

Wait, what? Did the driver claim it was a carjacking to cover his ass?

Sounds like.

I mean, the van was legit stolen, but by a couple of guys who just walked up and got in. And I can actually understand how that could happen - it was -7 or something, so I can see someone leaving it running if they had to go back in for something. But the way they handled it all was super shady. I'll bet they're bleeding clients today.
