And I just tried to go get coffee without my cup. This is gonna be an interesting day.

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

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.

Heh to Matt.

Now that I carry around three different pairs (regular, computer, sun - I don't necessarily need all three with me all the time, but often enough) all the time I worry about losing glasses CONSTANTLY

I have discovered unfuckyourhabitat. Not as precious as the Flylady, constant reiteration of "take it in chunks, just get up and do it, it can be done."
I need to focus on "Take the trash out." I can put it in the bag, but getting it to the can outside seems to inspire the universe to slap me with "don't wanna."

Oh, and in the interests of cutting costs, I'm planning on cutting the landline, now that no one's home all day most of the week. Has anyone done that? What were the downsides, if any?
