Glad you're all okay, Vortex!
The coffee I ordered has arrived. Valhalla Java, by the same folks who make Death Wish coffee. Tomorrow should be interesting.

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

Glad to hear it, Vortex!

How do you normally take your coffee, Zen? So I can calibrate your review of the coffee^2. For science.

Normally I make a pot of coffee with two scoops of regular arabica, pour a big mug, add Splenda, a teaspoon of sugar, and enough half-and-half to make it creamy and light. I don't like the taste of coffee; I just drink it medicinally. Today's coffee was a "light roast", so I used three scoops, and then made a second pot (three scoops again) with half a pot of leftover coffee in the reservoir with the water.

Random things people have told me lately that entertained me:
Friend of a friend who I rarely see told me I was someone she follows on Facebook because she finds my life interesting. I think she's pretty cool, so that made me happy--because of course, I have those people too, and it makes me smile to know I'm that person for someone!
Then at dancing a guy (who is a good dancer) told me after dancing with me "you've gotten very dancey! I mean, you were always dancey, but you've improved" and it made me giggle because I knew what he meant, but describing it as "dancey" is not very articulate.

Loki goes apeshit over any cat on the other side on the window even when it's Pumpkin, inside the house. But he's special.
Back from game night at Atomic Books with lisah & Lori& Lina, the latter of which are crashing here on their way through. So that was fun. And they got me to play an actual game!
And now that I've finished the dishes and set up the coffee, I should go to bed like my sensible guests who get to sleep in, the luckies.

Yes, I know, crafters need extra lead time. But dammit, at least give me my Halloweeny things a few weeks before the holly and peppermint start showing up!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Oh, my. I found myself poking around LinkedIn for the first time since I got my current job, and I saw that my work nemesis at my previous job has made manager. This is a person who never saw a deadline she couldn't miss and who, as a communications professional, didn't like to communicate via email because then her commitments were in writing and people could hold her to them. I'm suddenly far less disappointed that I got laid off from that job. And now I see why at least three other people in that department are making less than discrete inquiries about openings elsewhere. [Does the "not my circus, not my monkeys" dance.]
