Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh -t, how tragic and horrible! I hope she has a good support network around her

So the company I work for isn't satisfied with being able to break into your house, now they want to break into your car too.

I can't really imagine why someone would want to let random delivery people have access to their cars or homes, but I've been regularly surprised by what folks find acceptable as long as its done in the name of capitalism and commerce.

I just reported Richard Spencer's legal fees crowdfunding campaign as inappropriate since the site claims Social Justice in their mission statement. Fingers crossed that they will boot him off the platform.

Yes!

Hugs/non-hug alternatives to everyone.

My brain is out to lunch. I have been struggling with work, school, and DCC stuff. Stupid mistakes. I'm not going to say I never make mistakes, but not these types of goofs. I'm sure this is linked to the pain and frustration with my foot, but it is utterly maddening.

I told myself I wasn't going to post another whine-fest and try to concentrate on the positive. Yesterday was my son-in-law's birthday. I gave him an A's baseball hat and The Last Jedi and told him that they are both related to the other part of his gift. He figured out that we are going to the A's @ Rockie's game on their Star Wars day in late July. I have not told him that I got some amazing seats for the game - that will be a "day of" surprise. He is SO excited.

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

I finally got my ergonomic evaluation at the new desk: now I can raise and lower my standing desk keyboard/monitor unit without banging the mouse tray into the desk, so that's nice. I mentioned that my chair was uncomfortable but I wasn't sure why, and Safety Guy says" Maybe it's because it's a terrible chair?" so I'm getting a new one. Supposedly it will be "petite" which I hope means I can lower the seat to where my feet are flat on the ground and have the seat back down where it is supposed to be and still be able to spin (on most chairs that I can even get low enough the "tail" of the back of the chair bangs into the wheel legs when I am otherwise comfortable (I have tried raising the seat and using a footrest but I have to jump up into the seat and I always feel like I am going to fall and hurt myself, no thank you))

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

Timelies all!

Our usual babysitter is available on Saturday night, so Gary and I can go see Infinity War then. Yay!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's awesome! It's apparently Star Wars day at the Red Sox tomorrow, and I'm going to the game, randomly. Maybe there will be a bobblehead??

Mostly for Hil -- was looking up a recipe for chocolate bundt cakes and found one that happens to be vegan, but the frosting was not. I found a recipe that calls for vegan butter. Is that just margarine or a general term, or is vegan butter a specific thing?

As you should!

I just finished the latest round in some kind of intense work that keeps flaring up. It's all going well, but it means that I push everything else aside for half a day and now feel wiped out and uninterested in getting back to my other work!

Oh well. I'm pretty sure the proper response to my current situation is: tough titties.

That's how I just read it in your post.
