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

Yay for the good interview, ita! Also that answer is pretty brilliant. I wouldn't even know where to start.

So, if I am about to start writing, and I already made a plan for DH to bring home take-out, it's okay to pour myself a glass of wine even though it's only 4, right?

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

Burrell, it's 6:00 Central time, and I am enjoying a glass of wine. I think it's okay to shift a time zone or two on this occasion.

Woot!

I figure the sun is always over the yardarm somewhere.

Yay for good interview! I don't suppose "Google" would be an acceptable answer.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have had a not good travel experience, but soon there will be shrift and liquor.

All's well that ends well

I called AT&T and finally complained that they were charging me the DC 911 fee, and they were like "Oh, when did you move?" and I had to be like "Um, seven years ago? But I just noticed it and cared to call about it now?"

I also got a haircut.

I did not manage to get much work done, though. AND, my internet is still being weird (now my computer will get on the wireless but my ipad says it can't join).

I pulled on my big girl panties and scheduled my car for an oil change tomorrow. They're also going to do a quick inspection of the thing, all for about $35. Not having to do these things myself or impose on loved ones is worth the cost.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Not a lot of change in my dad's condition. His lungs and blood pressure are better at least. They stopped giving him sedatives this morning to try to get him to wake up--by this afternoon he still hadn't although it wouldn't be unusual if he didn't wake up until tomorrow. They were unable to get him off the ventilator this morning so they're gonna try again tomorrow.

My mom was fine with my dad today--she spent a few hours at his side holding his hand and stroking his head.

We went out to dinner in Clintonville and I had a very Wisconsin-supperclub-ish dinner of walleye and a grasshopper. And I splurged and got a hotel with a hot tub.

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

Glad you splurged, tommyrot, and that your mom was okay with your dad.

I think I might make myself a cocktail. Gin and strawberry puree, is that a thing?
