That's rough, Gud. You need to take care of yourself.

My increased vacation accrual showed up on my paycheck, hooray! Vacation starts in 4 weeks...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was in a 1.5 hour meeting this morning, and didn't get any email notifications on my phone. I thought maybe the fiscal year was actually over! (Tomorrow is the actual last day.) But no, it was just my phone. Got back to my desk to 20 new emails and two voicemails. Will I actually make it to 5pm? WHO CAN SAY???

I feel like I have eaten all the fattening foods for a while, and should probably eat celery for the next four days.

I recommend a thin gruel.

Our wings are not tired.

Thought I posted earlier but apparently not. Hellish day that has resulted in my participation in over 60 phone calls. Ick! Hate phones! I hope it is settling down now. Exhausted.

Also, love my customers who are cool with texts and emails.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

That's...a lot of phone calls, Laura. I'd be ready to bite after all that.

Carrot cake...that's vegetables, right?

Apologies for ellipses explosion.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I asked my aunt what I could bring for the 4th. She said "something easy like brownies." Cheesecake bars would still be fine, right?? I'm dying to do a flag design on something for whatever reason.

Cheesecake bars meet the specs as given.

Oh, that is sweet.

Mmm, cheesecake bars. Sound even better than traditional brownies.

Hellish day that has resulted in my participation in over 60 phone calls.

Good lord. I made ONE phone call today to confirm an appointment with my optometrist, and that's enough for me.

I'm exhausted both from this garbage fire of a country and from the work project that's eating my life, so I'm going to sneak out of the office early today to get a haircut.
