Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just had a visit by a young raccoon on my deck.

The first time I read this I was like, "!!! ?!?!?! ????" and then I realized it says DECK, not DESK. Totally thought there was a raccoon in the office.

Rocket came to visit Groot?

Awwww!~

Watching Still Alice but I may not make it through the whole thing. Too close to parts of my life.

Yeah, no. I could barely make it through the trailer.

I have been rereading Dorothy Sayers, and I dreamed that Lord Peter Wimsey said he only knew of two perfect murders, one of which involved butter, liquid nitrogen and Tibetan monks.

That sounds about right!

Plausible, Ginger. sounds like molecular gastronomy might be involved.

Get-through-it~ma, meara. Glad to hear your boss understands, though I get that it doesn't make you feel all better.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am Jesse wrt misreading DECK for DESK.

As of midnight surgery was off. As of 8 am it is back on. Clearly not all about me, but I am holding down a panic attack (current location is way down on my thighs, thank you deep breathing & distractions)(last night it made its way all the way to my chest before I beat it back and ran away to sleep land) and would really rather not cry and/or start screaming at work, so calm thoughts.

Health ~ma to all that need it.

I can't remember the last time I called in sick, so I'm doing it today. I'll work from home later, but for now, sleeeeeep.

I can tell you from personal experience the latter is a big hassle.

Raccoons are not well-suited to an office environment. Or vice versa.

[why does autocorrect know how to spell raccoon but not raccoons? That doesn't have some weird plural, does it?]

Tea update: I decided to have a pot of Lady of the Manners tea this morning, as I am dressed in a high-collared, pouffy-sleeved, buttoned-cuff blouse and that just seemed appropriate. If I need a second pot today, it will be Evil Bunny Alliance, otherwise tomorrow.
