Morridor
I assume everyone read that as "Mordor," yes?
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

I am suddenly so aggressively sleepy that I would not be surprised if someone had replaced our regular coffee with decaf as a prank. (I'm sure they didn't. It would be anarchy up in here if they did.)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Good Friday isn't as much of a thing here in the southeast US as it was in my home town. I grew up in an area where half the population were descendants of Polish immigrants, and thus Catholic. Another quarter were Irish Catholic, and there was a handful of miscellaneous background Catholics--enough for a church building of their own. So Good Friday was definitely a Thing. We also had awesome fish dinners on Fridays at my church, even though it was Methodist.
Mmmmmm. Now I want beer battered, deep fried fish. As is so often the case.

Oh, that sounds really good.

Good Friday and Maundy Thursday and Sunrise Service on Easter were big things in southwest Pennsylvania, where I grew up, at least in churchy circles. They were certainly recognized as events by everyone else. Scots/Irish and German immigrants, lots of Baptist and Methodist with a good sprinkling of Catholic.

I drove a fare to Providence today! That's a 50 mile trip, and out of state, to boot!
And at one of those moment when I'd just dropped off somebody, and I got a page just after thinkign I should pull over, check back through my trip history and add up fares to see if I'd made enough to justify going home (it was 11-ish, so I'd been working for 5 hours). But there was a potential fare, 2 minutes out (just around the block, seriously) so I said, why the hell not, and found I'd hit a jackpot.
Uber driving brings out the gambling instinct in me, but at least in a positive way, i.e. even if the page had been for a short fare (less than a mile = $5) I'd have come away with something.

Nice, Theo!
Bah, I forgot to go to the store on the way home and get cheesecake ingredients. Now I have to go out again.

Snowdrops are blooming in full force, and the hellebores are peaking out of last years leaves (still afraid to prune those in case of more too-cold nights, though this week looks promising).
Brought you by "not ranting about my boss, nope, not gonna do it, biting my tongue here".
It's f****d up that I want everyone to know that when I now make the effort to remark on beautiful things, it's because I'm seething inside.
Today was a beautiful day!
