"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Burrell, I am a fan of found poems.

I'm not a fan of turmeric, but I couldn't figure out why.

On my way home, I got a phone call from an unknown number. The voice on the other end said he was from HR and he needed my social security number to process my being hired by my new school. I felt pretty qualmy but he did say he was from HR and he knew the name of the school.

Then he wanted my employee number, which made me feel better. And we talked about my actual hire date at the new place. So as of November 19, I'll be employed elsewhere!

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

Congrats, Kat! It does seem like there ought to be better protocol for that question.

Estate honey, that was another thing. I forget that my honey obsession does not necessarily reflect mainstream tastes.

Our wings are not tired.

Exciting!

#1 son came home with a super fat lip and a paste of turmeric was suggested in my Google, but he wasn't going for that. I did manage to get him to ice, and apply honey. He tried a tea bag for a half second but said it stung too bad(odd huh?)

No clue what happened. Best guess is maybe a bug bite, but it is pretty huge and nasty looking. It did respond somewhat to the ice so I drugged him and sent him to bed.

New job and then house guest! Seriously, if you guys need a break, I can plead for another bed under another roof.

You know I like being given a task! Otherwise, I don't know what to do once I've done All The Dishes.

Always play with the kids!

Well, that's a given. Though I found it hilarious when my novelty would wear off, because then I was entertained with the sound of siblings playing together, oblivious to anyone else.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tumeric is an up-and-comer because it supposedly can reduce incidence of cancer.

It's supposed to be good for inflammation, too. Tim takes it in capsule form for his arthritic hands, though I'm not sure how much (if at all) it helps. One of our hippie friends recommended a "tea" made with turmeric, ginger, lemon, honey, and hot water. I don't know if we need to buy whole turmeric and ginger roots and grate them fresh, or if we can use the powdered form in the spice rack.
