I mean, I still need to offload some of my old responsibilities and I don't love some of the project management stuff I inherited in the new job, but "it's not my favorite" is a far cry from "I will burn everything down."

Worth celebrating.

I got a bonus pot of wheatgrass with my groceries today (a free sample from Grub Market). I do not know what to do with that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Okay, phone call of the day! Colleague (male) in call center: "The patron wants to speak to a woman because she wants your opinion on some wigs and hairstyles." Me: "Okay, I am a woman..." Caller: "I wanted a lady's opinion on two separate wigs." So she told me how to find images online and I looked and gave her my opinion.

I would have been a little offended by the patron's request.

"But...I'm an expert!"

I offered it to Jadzia. She was not interested.

Possibly she was distracted by the scent of the shrimp I had just peeled. I will try again later. Meanwhile it's in the fridge, as there is a sticker on the pot that says to keep it refrigerated. I do not understand this stuff. Maybe there is not, in fact, dirt under there?

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

I want a pot of wheatgrass for my cats! Dang. I tried to grow some but failed, as I have no place in the house suitable to grow plants. My cats love munching on grass.

Hey, Jilli, have you ever been to ScareLA?

I haven't, but I have friends that vend there. (Queenie from Pocket Full of Posiez!)

My friends' center pieces at their wedding were wheatgrass. For cats. Mine lasted until last month, I think it got root bound. But no barfing when my guys noshed!

Maybe if I just stick it over by their food they'll investigate when I'm not watching. I'll give that a try.

Jazzier just stuck her head into Walter's dish while he was eating so she could steal his food. That's new. Wednesday did it all the time, since she was tiny, but Jadzia is 16 and has never done that before. She doesn't really like to eat in the same room with other cats, if she could avoid it. She has gotten more aggressive about trying to snag my food lately, too, maybe she's decided Walter goes in the same category as me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just bought lots of reef friendly sunscreen and oversized shirts for swimming.

This makes me happy.
