This dinner plate tells you when you're eating too much

If it'll just give me the data and withold judgement, I'd be all over it, actually. The description of what it does doesn't include anything about alarms or whatever.

Unrelatedly, I think it's time for me to have a cupcake.

Today can suck it. I woke up fine and started work fine, but then I was exhausted. Work was slow enough so I allowed myself a nap. Then I dreamed that I was having an asthma attack but couldn't find my nebulizer. It took a while for me to wake up out of that and a while longer to realize I was able to breathe fine. And then I realized I don't know where my nebulizer is and my anxiety went up to 11.

I get it, an anxiety dream regarding unpacking. Shut up brain, I'm well aware that I'm getting overwhelmed. I still have work to do, I still have unpacking to do...and now I'm a shaking mess.

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

Ease, Suzi. Betterment to you.

And you too, Theo.

Yay, hooky, Tom. I hope it's restorative.

Oh, that dinner plate needs to be killed with fire.

Best of luck, shrift.

And yay baby, Juliana and M! I can now burble at will! I'm really glad you're feeling better.

A bit of trivia I just found out from reading Caroll Spinney's AMA: he was invited to go on the 10th Space Shuttle Challenger mission and had accepted, but the Big Bird puppet was too large to take on the shuttle.

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

interview guy wants me to make a decision about location (Mountain View vs. Dublin) before I follow up with him again.

I think that is encouraging. YAY

Am I allowed to vote for MV?

Am I allowed to vote for MV?

Sure!

Pros: I have people in the Bay Area, I wouldn't have to move out of the country and deal with visas/banking/taxes/retirement, shorter & less expensive flights to visit family, sushi.

Cons: COST OF LIVING JESUS CHRIST, terrible traffic.

Of course, I also still need someone to offer me a job.

And I thought, "Why does she need a flight to visit sushi--oh, wait."
