I only listen to the radio when my clock radio comes on in the morning. Good lord, the deluge of Christmas ads! Everything can be a gift idea! Oil changes! Jewelry! Insurance! And don't forget the sick kids! I'm so glad I found a way to play my music library in the car.

ION, while perfecting my chicken alfredo casserole, I discovered the mythical land of Too Much Cheese. I didn't think it existed, but it does. Fortunately I retraced my steps to the place of Balanced Flavor and Not a Gloopy Mess.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That's great, shrift!

I just had the last meeting of the year. Tomorrow I work from home, and then I'll be allegedly off work until 1/2/18.

A project of mine just had a soft launch today, though, and while someone else is nominally looking after it while I'm off, I'll probably find myself checking in occasionally anyway. But not because it's expected—I'm just curious about how it'll go.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good news, shrift!!

I think I'm out of fires to put out, and still have a day and a half of work this week. I guess that's a good thing, but I'm afraid it will mean lots of loafing and not that much accomplished.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Today's my last day before vacation. I finished the big thing I had to do and immediately ran out of any motivation.

Yay shrift!

You should head to California.

I am going to! But not until Monday.

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

Had our department pot luck and white elephant exchange. If I'm still here next year, I'll know the coveted gifts are alcohol.

Our wings are not tired.

Coveted gifts are often alcohol.

Awesome to be appreciated and recognized, shrift!!

Still in major stress mode here. I know it is all coming to a head, but I find myself grinding my teeth all day. Really, life is good, just a lot of balls in the air, and burning the candle at both ends, and/or add your favorite metaphor.

Sorry for the stress, Laura. Your poor teeth.
