Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The white power people have taken over the OK hand sign. I can't even make that gesture anymore.

If they're just holding the fourth finger, not the index finger (which I picture ok being an f in the ASL alphabet, done with index finger), then it's the shocker. Which yes, is dirty.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Tired. Stressed. In other words, a normal day.

The maintenance staff here is apparently psychic. My garbage disposal has been making rougher noises than usual, but I decided it was me just not being used to disposals. I came home tonight to a note on my sink from the maintenance people saying the noise from the disposal was normal.

I do not know how they thought to check. It's a garage below me, and I can't imagine any of my neighbors could hear the disposal, much less care. I thought it was part of a scheduled check of the smoke detector, but my building supposed to be done tomorrow, not today, and if they've checked the disposal on the filter change days, they never mentioned it. And the note said it was in response to a request I'd made. But I'd never made one, even though I was considering it. It's a little freaky. I'm not going to say anything about it, because it's something I'm glad to know and it looks like all procedures were followed. Just weird.

Well that was fun. I decided to clean, and clean out, my refrigerator, since I'm going to have a house-sitter in here for 3 weeks and didn't want to subject her to gross sticky drawers.

While cleaning off the glass shelf top in the sink, it shattered catastrophically. I had bits of glass in a 10-foot radius, and even got a tiny cut on my arm. Happily, it was made of safety glass, but yikes.

And now I am down one shelf in the fridge until I figure out how to get that thing replaced. Oy.

That sounds disconcerting, Consuela.

Work called liberal leave starting at noon. Was going to take the laptop home after my morning meeting anyway, because I can & the building smells weird and it is really bothering me.

Today is my school's holiday party, where the person I replaced 10 years ago still comes in from retirement in Ohio to play Santa for the kiddos. It's adorbs.

Why are Harry and Meghan getting married on the day Anne Boleyn lost her head? I was in hospital having my daughter on May 18th, and I really wanted to make sure it didn't go into the 19th because of that.

Just judging by Harry, he probably does not know when Anne Boleyn lost her head. I mean, he's grown as a person, but does not strike me as an intellectual.

Yeah, I'd have no idea if that date significance.
