Nothing like getting a text 40 minutes into a show saying "Come back!" to check the AC in the dimmer room. I'm an hour away. Facilities is in the building. Use your brain and let me finish my beer.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I kind of tried to say that today, but she was all focused on next steps and shit. She's not the most personally sympathetic person in the world.
IMO a lot of workplaces have a lot of unnecessary stress culture. Yours sounds like one of them. A month? Are you an ER surgeon?

That sounds great, sarameg.
And now that I've seen the deets on FB - I repeat my "Oooooooh" towards amych. Very nice!
That does not sound great, aurelia. Enjoy your beer.
I guess I have accepted that this cheesecake is not going to bake itself. I've gotten as far as making the crust. Instead of graham crackers I'm using coconut macaroons (because Passover), which certainly crumbed up nicely and I think will taste good. Now I'm second-guessing the lemon flavor of the cheesecake itself, maybe lime would be better? The whole things is to be topped with kiwi slices. Supposed to be a Spring Baked Good, whatever that means. Anyone have an opinion?

I'd eat it, however you go!
Fun to send this note:
Dearly Beloveds, I have been assigned as your chauffeur for Saturday's events. As soon as I procure a route for your conveyance, I will provide you with a meet time... and blindfolds, possibly of improvised means. Apologies for that. Please assert your willingness in this should I be pulled over for attempted kidnapping. It would be appreciated and get you to the destination faster.
Delighted to be of service,
-s-

Coconut macaroon crusted cheesecake? That sounds excellent.
Jesse, I think if you were on your way back to normal/had taken steps to deal, that would be something to tell your boss. Though I guess it might not sound super true if you were crying. I hate crying.

Yum! Lemon and lime both sound good to me.
Congrats Amych!

Well. My desktop hard drive suddenly started making a deeply worrisome noise and now the computer doesn't think it has a bootable device. So now I have some decisions to make.

Hee, great note!
Ugh, shrift.
OK, I think I will go lemon just because I have not made this recipe before, so maybe minimizing changes makes sense. Thanks!
