And I once again came to work without my phone. I'm not expecting a call today, so I'll just try to manage without, I guess.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have a problem wherein the use of F in an internet acronym always means fuck. Thus when people tell me they are WFH I am taken aback for a minute
Before I knew what FTW meant, it'd remind me of WTF so I saw it as "Fuck The What?"
People forget things. All the time.
I've lost count of how many expensive umbrellas I've left on trains. Of course I never forget the cheap ones.

I need new glasses badly. I can't see the time on the cable box, my night vision is horrible, and I am getting headaches all the time. I have a pounder now.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I get really confused when I hear about losing glasses, because mine are always on my face! (NB: When I was a kid, I thought I could tell if my mother was awake or asleep by her glasses, not her eyelids. Eyes open, no glasses? Probably asleep!)
So, after all my drama (and a coworker driving in from the suburbs specifically for the meeting), we couldn't get the phone connection. Wah-wah.

What's amazing about the photobomb is that the Queen is smiling, which you pretty much never see. We must have been very amused, indeed.

I'm having a maintenance guy fix my garbage disposal, which jammed up Tuesday night when I wasn't quick enough on the switch after hearing it make a loud grinding noise. Turns out my cats had used it as the goal for a game of soccer with a Bic lighter as the ball; I was only able to fish out the plastic part.
In completely unrelated news, the vet just called to tell me Jackson is recovering nicely after being neutered this morning.

That's a little harsh for kicking around a lighter. But glad he's doing well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG those cookies sound amazing, ita.
I'm not a big cherry fan, but I think they would be even better with them than cranberries.
Pix, is there a patron saint of dogs? I think a candle needs lighting, or something. I light a virtual one for you.
