What is Simmenthal?
Short version? Italian SPAM. But so much better than SPAM. It's jellied beef. One of my favorite ways to eat it is with tomatoes, basil, and a little olive oil. Oh, and some bread.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Move coordinator says we can pack & load on August 6th (Thursday). Which is not a day I had available. But I guess I can MAKE it available if I have to. I just have to cancel/reschedule a ton of meetings, and I have a great excuse.
I mean, I already have a hotel reservation Thursday-Sunday for VividCon. If I extend my stay another night, I can do a final walk-through on Sunday evening after the con and fly to SF on Monday morning. I have free bag check with Virgin America right now.
I can have furniture delivered on Tuesday along with a bunch of stuff I've been putting on my Amazon wishlist and get someone in to set up internet.
I think this could work.
I shoulda stood in bed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That was DH's grandmother's kugel, too, Burrell. And he loved it and was kinda afraid to eat it for the same reason.

That sounds like an excellent schedule, shrift.

Did someone say nap?
shrift, for not fitting in with any of your previously-planned plans, that plan seems totally workable.

Punishingly Intricate
I started a thing and a friend sent an email to connect me and a guy who does work she thinks would interest me so I've sort of accomplished a little bit. Although the second thing took zero effort on my part (at least today).
That kugel sounds delicious and supremely comforting, Burrell.

I have done a load of laundry, gone out for breakfast (after skipping dinner last night a banana wasn't going to cut it), paid my rent, renewed my tags, put the charged-up emergency jumpstart device in my trunk, and carted an old television set and 100 lb. electric typewriter from my parents' place to a recycling center. I'm not sure there's much more productivity left in me today.

I just emailed the move coordinator to go ahead and schedule me for Thursday.

Go shrift! With all that scheduling, have they given you a better idea of a delivery date?

It continues:
Someone just called me on the phone. To read me an email. That she was writing to me. That she wanted to read to me before she emailed it to me. Because reasons.
That is just not normal.
ETA: Wait! I left out a step. First she IM'd me to ask if it was okay to call me.
