Mmmm, pancakes.

Pretty sure you have to eat something, so why not pancakes?

I had a bunch of meetings and now have no motivation to do my work. I think if I can send like two more follow-up emails, that will be enough for today.

Oh! Here's my outrage: I made an appointment for the Epilepsy Foundation to pick up a bunch of stuff from my house. They ask where it is going to be, and one of the choices is "driveway." So I picked that one, and left the stuff in the driveway. Got a call this morning that they "couldn't find" my stuff. And that they do "curbside pickup," so apparently can't go into my driveway to get the stuff. The driveway that people use. I rescheduled, but I'm not entirely sure where I'm going to be able to put this pile of boxes in such a way that everyone can still get out of the driveway. Annoying! But I guess less annoying than bringing all the stuff to Goodwill? Unclear.

Even though they give "driveway" as a choice? It's like they don't want your stuff.

That's a close one.

It's not that pancakes won't be available; it's my complete disinclination to leave the house once I arrive home.

Mmm, pancakes. I understand the dilemma, Dana. Can you pick up pancakes on the way home?

I should eat lunch. Which is not pancakes. But is roast chicken and a sweet potato, so not bad at all.

My lunch was inadequate but did not require me to leave the house or put on real clothing. Due to work drama I started working at 615 this morning...only to have it eclipsed by BIGGER drama (but I'm hoping will eventually be a good thing--people got laid off at the company we are working with. Which sucks but maybe will mean they won't have time to micromanage??)

Also, my vote is not pancakes but instead Trader Joe's pumpkin waffles. That was my breakfast.

I had yummy tikka masala soup and Reeses Pieces for lunch. The day has probably hit its high point.

And there is water falling from the sky! Amazing!

I know, right? Granted, I had left it way back in the driveway, but that's because people have to drive there! Anyway, the reschedule date isn't for a couple of weeks, so I'm thinking I'll just trash some of the stuff and bring the rest to Goodwill next weekend. But for now it has to go back into the garage.

Mmmm, that was my breakfast yesterday. DELISH.

sj, I hope you heal up quickly.

It's annoying when you try to do something charitable and the recipients make it difficult. Sounds like they should change the wording on their website.

It's lovely here right now. I love fall in NC.

ETA: I had pancakes yesterday. Not the best I've ever made, but enough butter and maple syrup covers a lot of mediocre carbs.

I came across this Taiwanese half-pancake/half-omelet thingy this morning which I'm also going to need to try soon.
