I fear there is no good option here.
That seems likely.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Dana can go shopping for me anytime. I love all those dishes (though especially, like shrift, the second and third), and believe they will go nicely with the accent wall. (What, doesn't everyone match their dinnerware to their accent wall? They totally should.)
Employee evaluation done (they like me, I am in no danger of sackage whatsoever, a small raise will eventually be forthcoming -- possibly not for quite some time, but whenever it does it'll be backdated to 7/1, so that's nice), and many onerosities oneroused, including an NIH biosketch draft (hateful) and a grant continuation with minor modifications submission draft (odious). I need cookies and gin.

You deserve lots of cookies and gin, JZ!

I need cookies and gin.
Cookies and gin! I approve!
I haven't ordered furniture yet, but I did put in an order for towels with in-store pickup tomorrow. Now I can throw out my old towels before I move.

Unrelatedly, I am still at work so I think I deserve a diet coke. And I have a can, but the fridges won't give me ice.

I very much approve of the cookies and gin plan. Have some for me as well.

Oh, hi, I have gin at home. And limes. No cookies, but I don't think I could manage a cookie anyway. I tried a bit of cheese for breakfast and that was still pretty difficult. Stupid mouth, heal already!

I have decided to take tomorrow off. Mainly to sleep as I feel like crap. But I also have a dentist appt to finish off the current dental saga. Then tomorrow night I'm meeting up with some friends for live music.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Have hired a seasonal gardener! I love her! She worked two volunteer shifts so me and Nissan already had a feel for her, and we were both impressed. And we're so far into the year we'll be able to keep her to Christmas and then we're into the new budget, here's hoping she stays on in the spring! The bonus is that there I s no need for spring orientation and training. She gets my extra love for asking, on her third day, why I wasn't Director.
She's smart, has descent plant ID, personable, proactive. I wish I could srop spending time orienting her dmso I can pick her brain and become her best friend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In ongoing windows news, apparently my shade holder thingies were on the part of the window that was taken out. So I need new holder thingies and probably new shades. Good times.
