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

Shoot. I left my phone at home, which I realized while driving in and pretty much made my peace with except that it didn't occur to me until now that I don't have a timer for my french press. Woes!

Has it been 4 minutes since I posted that?

ETA Yes! Coffee time.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

If I were to wear khakis and a polo shirt because in my head that is "casual Friday uniform" is that normcore or can a 46-year-old lady not wear that ironically?

Seems pretty normcore to me, but does the irony come down to the intention of the wearer, or the interpretation of the viewer?

I have a ginormous bruise on my calf. Kat and Scrappy, can I ask what were the symptoms that made you suspicious of DVT? I am worried that I'm being all casual and secretly running around risking a stroke. Which reminds me, I should set up a derm appointment to have my skin checked.

Also, while I'm making a mental check list, I need to get the piano tuned.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh, I like my tag next to yours, Jesse.

Heh. Mine is so old, but I feel like I might just keep it forever. It's everything I love! (And maybe it even predates Ruffalo as the Hulk???)

Timelies all. I'm such a skipper I should be calling everyone "little buddy". I did see all that craziness with Teppy and Tim, and am very happy it has resolved itself.

Also, I've had this stack of Beer Advocate magazines I've been trying to get around to reading. I pulled out the next one up and who's picture should I see in the contributors page? Our very own Nora!

Yay, Nora!

I am interested to hear about the dvt too. I should probably know the signs, I think being on an airplane all the time is supposed to increase risk.

I am sleepy. And I ran out of coffee yesterday, so I need to get outside-clothed and go buy some. Blahhhhh. Mornings.

Oh right! I need to do a coffee run too, thanks meara. But first some breakfast, and I should set up some doctor appointments.

Yeah, I guess that is my fundamental question.

I'm such a skipper I should be calling everyone "little buddy".

It took me way to long to parse this. I'm all, did Frank buy a boat? What?
