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

Certainly did more to make me like Eli Manning than anything else ever.

I bought a can of Sparkling Cold Brew Coffee with Honey and Lemon because it sounded like it might be therapeutic. Certainly tastes medicinal.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Jumping on the train of Buffistas with dental work, I got a permanent crown put on an hour ago, and my mouth hurts. I have some TMJ issues, so keeping my mouth open for dental work ends up hurting my jaw after the fact. And also the temporary crown really irritated my gums, so that's super sore. Bah. Ibuprofen and a microwave beanbag thingie on my jaw are in my future.

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

Nothing like working for a multi-billion solar international company and having water off at your office EVERY TIME the temp goes below freezing for a few hours. Just had to run a visitor TO MY HOUSE to use the bathroom. I mean I guess I could have taken her to a fast food place, but since I always run home that's what I did. RIDICULOUS!

Ummm...isn't there a requirement to have a bathroom? Like OSHA style?

Yikes, msbelle!

Soothing vibes for Teppy's jaw.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is ridiculous, msbelle!

msbelle, that's forking ridiculous.

In addition to it being a Monday and getting dental work, the POTUS and FLOTUS are in Cincinnati today. Ick.

I'm sorry, Tep. You don't need that.

Nobody needs POTUS and FLOTUS in their city. I guess it's our turn to take one for the team. If they're here, then they aren't in anyone else's city, at least for today.

A little dental pain is nothing compared to having that horrific bigoted sexual predator in town.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You have my permission to go back to bed and hide under the covers until Monday is done.

My daughter has been sleeping in later and later in the mornings, and I'm considering relaxing my No Shopping resolution to get her an alarm clock she can't ignore. Like one of those that jumps off the bed and rolls itself into a corner so you have to go find it to turn it off. Or the one that's a mat on the floor that won't go off until you stand on it for a full minute.

The other option would be to take away her reading lamp and all of her books so she actually gets to sleep at a reasonable hour, but I don't want to punish her for being an avid reader, I just want her to get more sleep!
