That sounds way better than Subway.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I seriously could watch How It's Made for hours and hours and hours. It's like crack. If crack made you really mellow and zen.
Totally!
Except this one right now, because it's about a commercial chicken hatchery, and is actually slightly traumatic. And I'm sure this is the nicest part of factory farming chickens!

Bag of sun chips has me feeling a bit more charitable towards my fellow humans.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I made egg drop soup because I'm feeling a little under the weather, and it makes me feel better (at least mentally), and I'm always amazed that it's SO EASY to make. I retroactively regret all the years I got carryout egg drop soup from the cheap Chinese place.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I've been cajoling Franny through an Emergency Planning poster assignment all day and my brain is zapped, but luckily DH has taken the kids to the local pool for one last jump off the spring board before the pools close. And a bit of needed quiet for me. I love being a mother, but I desperately need to be a little less needed.

How do you make the broth, Steph?

There are gluten-free, vegan bouillon cubes that make "chicken" broth that, for real, taste JUST LIKE chicken broth. I have no idea how they do it, though I suspect dark magics were involved.

A dove is sitting on my rail, staring at me. Honestly, a little creepily.
Swam at Druid. Predictably a little more chaotic because Labor Day + last day of the season, but I really REALLY zoned out.which I needed, I'm sorta in the midst of a whelmed-down-on-myself funk. It'll pass, I just need to break out of my paralysis on a number of stuck things.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That reminds me, I emailed a counseling place in between my work and home, which seems like a good compromise, location-wise, but I'm vaguely afraid my boss goes there! At least, she has a weekly appointment in that direction. Which is a commercial district, so it literally could be any place else.
