Steph, cedar is good for repelling moths. They sell cedar blocks to tuck into drawers and cedar beads to slide onto the necks of wire hangers. I've used hamster bedding in small muslin drawstring bags--and added in dried roses and lavender because more girly--for my lingerie drawers. And I tuck the bags among my mohair stuffed animals and hand-quilted coverlets, and hand-embroidered linen and cotton dresser scarves and tea towels. The thing you need to remember with cedar is to sand solid pieces every year or so to release the oils, and to keep a layer of fabric between the cedar and what you're protecting. My mom had some moth-damaged items *in her cedar chest*, but she hadn't sanded the interior--ever. The muslin bags you can just crush in your hand a little to release the oils, and if you do that every month or so, it should continue to repel moths and make it unpleasant for them to munch on, or reproduce on, your clothes or belongings.
Maria, given your set of circumstances, you did well. Never doubt it.
Strix, go get 'em. Or, you know, her.
sara, coping ~ma to you, and to your friend.
How did it get to be lunch time already?
Fuck, you guys. My boss has been on vacation this week, and I have not gotten nearly enough stuff done. I have done a bunch of things that came up throughout the week, but I still feel so behind! OK, what I should do is review my list thinking about what she will care about. And then see what I can knock off my list in the next couple of hours.
Zen, years ago the association I worked for had a sudden explosion (metaphorical, not literal) in the number of attendees at a conference. They were doubling up staff, stashing people in B&Bs, even had some staying in RVs. For some reason, that year Billings, Montana, was THE PLACE TO BE.
Then, of course, about three days before the conference, someone called up and said he absolutely HAD to have a suite in the conference hotel.

Prioritize like the wind, Jesse!
Fuck, you guys.
I missed that comma and wondered what I missed.
It's all good, now.
We were given the ok to leave work early, but I am listening to a girl on guy podcast so I am now here alone. I did some onerous task of finding old explanation of benefits from health insurance to back up my FSA card swipes. Such a chore.
Not fuck you guys! Just fuck. You guys.
Also I just had my weirdest thought of the week, while in the bathroom: If I were an office cleaner, I would only ever go to the bathroom in the other gender's room. Just for fun! Because you're in there alone, cleaning!
Not fuck you guys! Just fuck. You guys.
Ha! No, I got it. I just missed the comma the first time around.

This is a great idea, thanks Beverly. I have some of those cedar blocks but this sounds much more effective to me, plus replenishable.

Like Steph I misread at first, but then thought, "that doesn't sound like Jesse, except the 'fuck' part."
