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

Y'all aren't shunning me, are you? I won't know if you don't tell me. Is it the Nietzsche?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Pretty sure it wasn't the Nietzsche?

I am blowing off a meeting I don't need to be at in favor of eating lunch, and I don't feel even a little bad! OK, a little bad for not just declining the invitation.

Hooray lunch!

Indeed.

I mean, I should also be working, but eh.

I'm so sorry, Sophia.

Our wings are not tired.

I made yummy soup and brought it next door to share with step-dad. We went to his surgeon follow up yesterday and he was given driving privileges back. He is really doing incredibly well. Nasty triple by-pass a month ago and he has mowed his lawn, and doing all manner of normal daily stuff. All doctors very impressed.

Soup was quick variety. Sauteed celery, carrots, garlic, then added canned tomato-basil soup and some orzo pasta I cooked separately. Good stuff for a chilly day.

Express bus sounds way nicer than driving, good luck -t!

Sophia, condolences. And Pix that sucks big balls. The Empress is good at snoring. [eta: SMITING, not snoring]

Bee, at least there's pretty strong renter rights in DC?

The BBQ place I've been repeatedly trying and failing to eat at the last two weeks used up its last chance today. I finally caught them open (as they have not been during their posted business hours on 3 previous attempts), stood in line behind two women at the window, and after several minutes of being ignored they left, followed by me a couple minutes later. Just left them a scathing review on facebook and dropped their rating by 4/10 of a point.

BBQ sandwich from the nearby Arby's was filling if bland, but at least I'd ordered it, paid, and been handed my food in less time than I spent trying to make eye contact at the food truck.

So sorry, Sophia.

Pix, your agent should totally file a complaint however they can. Won't you the house, but will get you the moral satisfaction of possibly getting Tino punished for his actions.
