Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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

Thanks for taking one for the team, Burrell. Now that I have eaten lunch I am slightly less desperate. Although I would very much like to go home. Run, reports, run!

The fabric stores have started to make Christmassy noises.

Well, sure. Some of us need even more time than that for seasonal crafting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say -- if you have to make the stuff, you do need lead time! It's not like just buying decor.

I love us, we use the word "apotheosis" casually and correctly.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I just tried to change my address on my renters insurance and went into a spiral trying to answer all the questions, like what type of roof my new apartment building has, how close it is to a fire station and a fire hydrant, when it was built, and are there fire walls?

And now my brain is crying.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

During the night, there was a flood in the server farm for the office building we work in. It fried our expensive router thingie and killed it dead. We lost all internet--which means we can't get or send any of the actually, deadline-driven work we do. Our IT staff got a hotspot going, so we had enough sloooow connectivity for email, but not much else.

I did a truly heroic thing and came home, where I have internet, dogs and cats and a comfy place to put my feet up while I work. I hope they appreciate my dedication.

Heckuva job, Scrappy.

I made it home, I have tomorrow's lunch simmering and scheduled to keep doing so for another 14ish hours. Fed the birds. I'll check the water level in my fountain and empty and reload the dishwasher and then if I still just want to go to bed maybe I will.

Oh, wait, dinner, I should probably eat some of that. Hm.

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

I love that Steph is making the Donald Sutherland noise at me for saying I like comic sans. It's calming and easy to read. That's all.

burn her

I know, I know.

By the way, making coffee with leftover coffee? Lotta caffeine. PSA

Dinner last night with Sparky was the awesome.

I kinda like comic sans as well. Yet again, Zen and I are one.
