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

Suzi, I'm so sorry about the continued foot problems. Healing~ma.
I took ltc to story time today and was talking to the one mother there that looked like she was close to my age. It turned out she was the grandmother.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The range of ages of people at various stages in their lives is amazing to me -- I have friends my age with toddlers and children in their 20s, one of my (40ish) cousins is grandmother to a child the same age as the child of another one of my (40ish) cousins.
Never mind what different people look like at different ages!

That sounded cool to me, as long as you have a sedan or whatever, so it's not really breaking into the car? But I don't have a car, or problems with front-steps delivery, so.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It would be kind of neat to have, say, groceries magically appear in my trunk while I was at work. But my car is not eligible so it's all moot to me.

information libertarian
People who are not librarians may not realize just how much patrons complain about staplers, but OH MY GOD do they complain.
Librarian stapler solidarity! Although it's less of a big issue in my public library; in academia it's YUGE.

That's really interesting about the staples!
Jessica, I didn't realize that was your new employer. I think it's an odd option but I can see how some people would like it I guess?? Still creepy.

Our wings are not tired.
Enough of my life has been spent scanning documents for paperless systems that I avoid staplers as much as possible. Dislike.

not your mom's socks.
Someone please distract my husband while I pick out colors for the walls. (My mother once asked what his favorite color was, because she was knitting a sweater. I replied, "Clown." He likes things . . . bright.)
this is... accurate.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In a previous job, I worked with engineers. Most of them, their favorite color was beige - the blander the better. One year, someone who'd taken a marketing course, said that red was the most attention-getting color ... but, for some reason, we ended up with pink. Kind of a strawberry ice cream pink ... they complained about it for YEARS. Three, if I remember correctly.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Back at the airport, this time at O'Hare, waiting to come home. Fighting off a migraine that wants to get started. (It's not really a migraine yet, just that feeling that something is poking at my right cheekbone. Hopefully the daith piercing and migraine meds will stomp it flat.) Considering getting the largest order of fries that McDonalds sells.
How many fries is too many fries? I don't believe the number exists.
The AMA always gives us branded swag, and this year's haul includes a fidget spinner. I shit you not. But also a snuggly fleece blanket, which is warm and awesome. Tim can have the fidget spinner.
