Fingers crossed, Laura! That would be cool.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So the furnace-boiler-hot-water-heater started making loud noises last night, and the water pressure in it was basically 0, which can't be good. It's like there really is a Detect Connie Has Extra Money curse.
At least it's in the 60s here.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Good luck to your son, Laura.

Several nearby mountain ranges have between 300-500% of the typical snow pack for this time of year. Temperatures will be in the 80s for the next few days. Surf's up!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Why am I having especially deep angst? Is that a side effect of surgery?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I think (though I'm not positive) that's pretty normal after surgery. I've heard it attributed to the anesthesia leaving your system, though I honestly don't know what the timeline is on that. It seems like it would be gone by now.
I know you weren't taking percocet very long, so I doubt it's withdrawal, but stopping opioids can mess with your mood.
Basically, you just went through a big ol' surgery. There may be emotional fallout. Go with it, and be kind to yourself.

Huh. "Post-surgery blues."

Although this is only limited comfort right now, as I cry over the new picture of General Leia. Goddamn you, Annie Leibovitz and Tumblr.

meara, Harlots is on Hulu. It is about women working as prostitutes in 18th century London. It's surprisingly good. Written, Directed and Produced by women. I heard it has an all female crew too, but I don't know for sure. Samantha Morton is so compelling in it.
The current bureaucratic system punishes the teacher for a failing kid so they will pass one way or another.
Yes. Hence me.

Amy, do you know Budget Bytes? I mostly rely on her for slow-cooker and one-skillet meals, and have yet to be disappointed.
My other current cheap/easy food obsession is sweet potatoes with stuff on top. I've done roast herby chickpeas with tahini, tofu and bok choy with teriyaki, burrito bowls - so far I haven't come across any potential rice/pasta accompaniment that doesn't work equally well on a sweet potato.
