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

Hooray for positive reinforcement for your perseverance, Tep! And yay gums!

I'm glad you sorted that out, meara. Yeah, I've taken the air train, but sky trains, so romantic! Because I don't know what it is, I'm sure, but still.

Soufflés are in the oven (one goose egg makes two individual soufflés + a mini, apparently). I am kicking myself for waiting so late to start making them, but no doubt they will taste delicious whether they objectively are or not.

I spent 45 minutes stepping up and down on the stairs to my garage (there are two) when I wasn't pacing around my kitchen or maybe down the hallway trying to keep my heart rate in the correct zone. I just kept thinking how ita would have laughed at me for finding something more boring than jogging. Totally forgot that I could have listened to the next Zombies Run episode while I did it until I was almost done, too. But, hey 31 minutes of that elusive "moderate effort" for my trouble, not bad.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Every time Murray walks across my laptop, he turns the voice on that reads out what's on the screen. How does he do that? *I* don't even know how to do that.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Finn's trick is rotating the display 90 degrees. It takes him one pass across the keyboard, but it takes me 5 minutes to remember how to get to the menu that lets me turn it back.

My next-cube-over neighbor stopped by my cube yesterday to let me know that due to wrist issues he dictates to his computer. He thought it was best to let me know, because there are "words" he uses that the computer understands that aren't actually words. He didn't want me to think he was just muttering off in lala land.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thanks Hil and Dad! I will confirm one more time with HR.

I think being an English major and reading contracts do not go together. The way sentences are written seems so unclear.

My brother is in Egypt for a conference and is, um, taken aback by the driving. Which, knowing my brother, is pretty funny.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I swear I heard Hazel puking in the night, but then I couldn't find it this morning. Maybe it was a post-traumatic dream about Homer, brought on by going to the vet yesterday???

Sometimes my cats will get hairball heave spasms but never cough anything out. And then walk off apparently feeling fine. IDK
