I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Stay away from Lee, work!

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

That mostly worked, -t!

Only 2 minutes late.

I try to use my limited powers for good. They are very limited.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would offer you candy, Beverly, except I ate it all. Oops.

The status is NOT quo.

I have made it home. I have eaten two mini cupcakes. Now I am flopped on the couch watching this week’s Arrow and considering going to sleep before the sun goes down.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

A citron-blueberry cocktail sounds lovely.

Go you with the whole restraint thing, Beverly!

I just got back from dinner. Dinner was two scoops of ice cream at the ice cream place out in the countryside, eaten on the front porch while watching the last of the sunset fade from the spring sky. Dinner was great!

I'm in my indoor pants or I'd be out the door seeking ice cream. I settled, if you could say that, for a New Belgium Abbey. I like dubbel ales. Perhaps tomorrow I will swing by the Union terrace and get some Babcock Hall ice cream.

Msbelle, I really hope the day improved.

Scheduled my annual review for Monday and got a gander at my eval. It's... interesting. Covers a ton of the bullshit I dealt with. Rightfully notes the morale impact. Curious to see if it is being spun as leverage on my behalf or a caution. I did tell every one of my supervisors if I started crossing line with my bitterness on my sleeve to please pull me aside and let me know, and no one said a word. So I'm hoping leverage, but we'll see. I'm not worried, but I'm pretty sure it's going to refresh all the rage.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I am not having candy, nor am I having booze. But H had to go get superglue for a gutter injury, and on the way back he's bringing burgers from the good place, with piles of lettuce, and a shake made with Actual Strawberries, so I am appeased.

We've been working our way through the season of Face Off this week--six more eps to go. So there's that on tonight's agenda, plus the last ep of Justified (if we don't watch it, it won't ever be over, right? Right?). So exciting, our life.

I just got home after THE MOST BORING DAY I have had in a while.

Now I'm having a glass of wine while I pay bills, because Friday, even though I'm going out to dinner with a pal in an hour.

The rest of the weekend will involve freelancing, and the theater, and somewhere in there hanging with Dad.
