Dear Bosses

Sparky1 cannot work today. You are frankly lucky that she ever manages to put up with you.

That sounds wonderful, Laura! How fun.

Travel~ma, shrift! ALthough by the time i get this posted I see yo don't need it any more. Yikes on your sister's hand/ring/car door convergence!

I am looking at remote underground silos for buffistas doomsday habitat.

I am so down with that. Although I would prefer to refer to it as a Buffista hobbit-hole. And so affordable!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh, Sue. How awful.

Brenda, you are clearly more hearty than I am. You didn't even have a crowd around you to cut the wind.

I have found a bunker with 8200 sq ft half way btw St Louis and Kansas City for $295000.

As in Columbia? I need more info.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap, Sue, that is awful. I'm sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In other news, a quandary: I want to make this pork pate, but am pretty sure the pork now available is too lean. I could not find lard at my grocery store. So now what? Cook some bacon and use that fat? Butter? Shortening? As I type this, I think maybe shortening is the best bet. Ideas?

Probably? Bacon fat is pretty domineering, taste-wise, which might not be what you're going for.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

My inclination would be to get some pork belly from the butcher. But I am far from an expert.

Sue, that's truly awful. I'm so sorry.

In straw that broke the camel's back today news, our pipes burst and the basement is partially flooded. Included large rugs.And our fridge part of the icebox died, but we knew nothing could be done in the ice this weekend so we waited till today to let the landlord know.

So now it's burst pipes in the walls, not easily accessible, no water, flooded basement, no fridge. And the kiddo arrived yesterday.

And I've been up for 28 hours now, trying to flip to a diurnal sleep schedule for the holidays. (I flip about every week and a half.)

And Trump is officially President.

Fuuuuuuucccckkkk.
