That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

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.

health~ma to your brother, msbelle.

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.

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.

OK, so I'm thinking my Christmas present to myself will be doing something different with the wall behind the headboard of my bed (currently painted a kind of light blue-violet with one of my paintings hanging on it): [link]

What do folks think of these options?

distressed panels headboard: [link]

whitewashed wood wall mural: [link]

Manhattan skyline penthouse mural: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Technically, it's raccice.

Ooh, Matt, I like all of those. I'd probably pick the wood one?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

~ma for your brother, msbelle, and your peace of mind.

Matt, your bed will block much of the bottom of the Manhattan mural. Personally, I would hate to have to negotiate anything next to the distressed wood wall (retrieving dropped objects, plugging in an electric cord, etc.) without splinters, and it will collect dust and lint and cobwebs like crazy unless you're dedicated to dusting it. I'd go for the varicolored headboard.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

msbelle, all the ~ma for you and your brother.

Wednesday is being a worse Monday than Monday was. I am so over this bullshit, I'm tempted to email my resignation right now.

Matt, I like the whitewashed wood mural.

Beverly, if I'm reading the description right, the wood wall is also a mural, printed on vinyl. It just looks super-realistic.
