Mmmm....fries.

My local theater has a personal message on their upcoming festival page, and it makes me laugh! Go here, and scroll down to West Side Story.

Timelies all!

I'm so glad this week is over. Yesterday turned out to be another shitty day. I lost my eyeglasses case(though not the glasses themselves, thankfully) somehow. The power went off in our house not long after we had put dinner in the oven. Not knowing when the power would come back on, we went out to get pizza. This proved to be a bad idea, as it disagreed with both Gary and I. (we've eaten there many times before and never had a problem) Eventually the power came back on, after we had put the little guy to bed. Didn't sleep well, partly due to the stomach/abdominal cramps from the pizza.

I hadn't heard from the body shop about my car so I called them. I think they're ready to declare it totalled, but they were waiting for the insurance adjuster to come by to sign off on things. Called the insurance agency and let them know this. Somebody was supposed to get in touch with me to let me know what's happening. So far....nothing.

I have my quarterly job review yesterday. It was interesting. Apparently one of the reasons I now have a minion is to develop my ability to structure and assign work for others. Overall, it went great. Mostly questions about what I wanted than questions about what they wanted from me.

I'm taking a lot of time this weekend to get past the awfulness of the last three weeks. I'm not even trying to get updates on any legal stuff. Because while that is important, the twins are safe with my sister and Sam and that? Is what matters today.

Except it backfired. Inevitably, my dad would monopolize and the date had no chance, cause dad could do the charming like whoa.

Best stories ever.

Overall, it went great. Mostly questions about what I wanted than questions about what they wanted from me.

Nice! Good to be appreciated.

Oh Cass, I imagine there needs to be some time to destress after this horrible experience. Relax, rest, and renew.

I am attempting to ignore all my stresses today and am enjoying all the taco jokes. A lot.

Oh, man, Sheryl. That's enough of all that!

That's terrific, Jesse.

The maybe oats I am thinking of [link] This is also what the phrase "sow wild oats" brings to my mind.

Normally, on the last day before a holiday we can go home after 6 hours and get a full day's pay, ostensibly to avoid getting stuck in traffic. Today my boss came around and said "don't worry about the 6 hours - whenever you have everything that can't wait until next week done, go home. "

I may have to add curling up with a heating pad to my plans. Hello, communists! Long time. Seasonally appropriate, I suppose.

Yay, Gud! That sounds great!

Good plan, Cass.

Ok, wine.

Great! That's among the best kind of reviews.

Overall, it went great.

Why--that might mean you're good at this.

My fitbit is now held together by a rubber band. Nice things and me: unmixy things. I'm pretty good at the improvised repair, though.

OTOH, I have a nice plate of spaghetti and meatballs and more extra added giant meatballs, and a glass of cabernet, so sometimes plans work out like I, uh, plan.
