I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ooh, fun, meara! I will put my subconscious to work on puns tonight, see what happens.

In somewhat unexpected news, I got a new job yesterday. I'm going to be the vice-boss in my department, and will have direct reports. The boss sent out an announcement email at 4:30, so I'm going to have to deal with a lot of congratulations this morning. I'm actually really sad to be giving up my special nonprofit grants hat, and a little worried about how my relationships are going to change.

But at least one of my issues as a new female manager is never going to be "How much boob is too much boob." #smallblessings

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So that's.... exciting? Good luck, at least!!

Also, I am not ready to sing Beethoven. Not at all.

Is anyone ready to sing Beethoven? Not me!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

the choir's music doesn't have the measure numbers that the symphonic score does. . . confusing.

Oh noooo. Does it have rehearsal numbers? I hope the conductor is giving y'all something to work with.

Also, I am not ready to sing Beethoven. Not at all.

Soprano or alto? God knows both of them have different challenges.

Schubert's Mass in G, Vaughn Williams' Serenade to Music, Revelation by Z. Randall Stroope and John the Revelator.

Sweet. Serenade to Music is really nice. I love Vaughan Williams.

Wow, flea. Exciting, kind of?

Our wings are not tired.

Congratulations! It is good to be recognized.

Pants by Friday!! Woo!

My contribution to #smallblessings: this morning DH was about to make eggs and we had none. On his way out the door I asked him if he would go to TJs and get the better natural eggs instead of the Publix hormone factory eggs, and not only did he agree, he agreed wholeheartedly and expressed his desire to be more mindful of that stuff.

I hope it works out well for you, flea!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Yay, flea! At least, I hope it's a yay.

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

I am at work and I ate real food and I have decided that if I feel ok during the day I will just deal and do everything I can to keep strength up by eating whether it sounds good or not. My head is anxiety filled and I am not getting much down, but I am getting something done.

That's a reasonable choice. Fingers crossed for feeling ok.
