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

I got back my beloved JCPenney to manage and I'm familiarizing myself with the current status of orders and forecasts. Unfortunately, in all the moving of desks and computers and whatnot, I no longer have my personal excel macros where I had stashed all my little shortcuts and tools. I feel like Willow not doing magic - typing is so slow!

I just bought a whole bunch of Girl Genius back issues. The company that ships them out is called TopatoCo, and the signature line at the bottom of their email is "TopatoCo. We Are Too A Real Business." Of course, they also say "former Tiny House Demolition Company turned world famous digital-entertainment-related merchandise cyberstore and distributor!"

I'm just happy I'm getting lots and lots of stuff to read.

I just did a passport for a 15 year old who went to elementary school with Casper (a year older than her, not a kid I knew well or anything). There's something so sweet and touching about seeing a kid you last knew as a grubby 11 year old and now he's 6 feet tall and bass-voiced and actually doing pretty okay with the whole "relating to adults and not acting like a sullen teenager" part.

Aw, that's nice, flea.

I love TopatoCo, Connie! A lot of my webcomic faves are carried there.

I did not blow away (yet.) I still have power, it only flickered off&on for about 5 minutes earlier.

But it is still fucking windy & making sounds around my house I've never heard before.

Please do not climb out on the roof, sarameg.

It's raining here, which is good, and I don't have to be anywhere until Sunday, which is excellent.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It is so windy!

Because books.

It's ridiculous here. Slush everywhere, although it's finally stopped snowing, and the wind is insane. I have not lost power (knocks wood) but the grocery store did, which was weird because they were still open. The registers and maybe 1/5 of the lights worked, but it looked like all the cold and frozen cases were out.

Also took Sara to get her nose pierced, which was the only thing she wanted for her birthday. She was very brave, and it actually looks adorable. And I got many, many extra mom points for being dragged out in this weather to do it.

Our wings are not tired.

Aw, you are a most excellent mom indeed.

Please be safe all you people with weather issues. I think sunburn is my only risk from Ma Nature at the moment.
