I miss everyone. Working in the bakery is great -- and delicious -- but very, very busy. And tiring.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I should at least go pick up the dirty laundry from my bathroom, seeing as my frieneighbors will probably be coming over to shower tomorrow as their water heater has catastrophically failed (sounds like a tank coming undone, water everwhere) and they now have no water until replaced or only cold water while they install an emergency shutoff valve and they then replace the tank. Which still, shower with hot water here.
Only at my house: my offer comes with the warning that a cat may leap on your shoulders, don't lurch upright and it'll be fine.
Why oh why did I just book a 7:30 flight?? Because I want to be there by 11 is why, and there's not an 8:30, but STILL. Yikes.
I don't feel uninvested just incompetent. It is an AP class and in a tricky subject I have never taught before. At this point I know exactly how to fix all the mistakes I have made and not enough time to do so, and my seniors just aren't really on board.
Hi Amy!
To be fair to Scuzzy, it was the height of the Tickle Me Elmo craze, and I think there was an umlaut in the name, so I suspect it was a bad translation from a Scandanavian country. It was still hysterical when I had to stock the shelves with her.
That's rough, Gris.
Hi Amy! Hooray bakery, still! You will probably get used to the tiring parts?
Amy, good to hear from you!
Do you have to eat the bakery mistakes? My sister worked in an ice cream shop in high school, and they got to eat the mistakes, which rapidly became a problem...
I massage my kale sometimes, but mostly I just ribbon it and dress it, and it's totally fine.
And now it looks like my helpful tip from my last foray into plumbing has at least got them cold water in the house (aka shouldn't there be a cutoff to * just* the water heater...oh, look, there is!) but still may avail of my shower since cold showers suck.
Scuzzy is a terrible name for anything, much less a vibrating beaver! Good lord.
Gris, best of luck. Just a few more months until the school year is over?
Jesse, I know that feeling well.
Flight home was delayed 3.5 hours. Have retrieved dog and am now in bed. Mac is packed to fly right out again tomorrow morning to see his uncle. Oz, the cat who hissed and swatted at the sitters to such an extent they could neither give him meds nor pet him, he sniffle me for a second then is purring, flopping, and asking for belly rubs! Infuriating. He is going to have to be boarded for any future trips and treated as a hostile cat.
