I'm sorry, sara. That's just a bummer. When we are in pain it's hard to focus on anything other than surviving.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Been there, sarameg. That sucks.

I forgot I was gonna tell y'all, got to quote the Ideal Gas Law at my coworkers, which is always fun for me.

Totally thought this was going to be about Ballghazi/Inflategate.

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

Football is not too relevent out here right now, alas.

I got to use my sunglasses this morning! I'm unreasonably delighted by this.

Yay! And I just verified that the museum does in fact have my sunglasses. I probably can't get over there while they're open until Saturday, but I'm relieved to know where they are.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

God, I am selfishly glad I no longer work for the DOE. I can't imagine the stress levels in my old workplace right now.

Our wings are not tired.

It was nice to read the reports of the Obamas escaping to Branson's island. If ever a couple deserved a luxurious retreat it is surely them. May they be able to unwind. The transition can't be easy.

Because books.

For a while it has to feel like you're forgetting something all the time, I bet. "Wait, did I...?"

I miss them already.

I enjoy flipping through the traffic cameras on the UDOT website, sometimes just to check road conditions, sometimes because I have strong voyeuristic tendencies. There's a camera in one of the side canyons above the valley, on a road that I think is officially closed for the season. I checked it a couple of days ago and saw a couple taking pictures. I kept checking back over the next hour, expecting to see a still-frame adventure of "Oh, my god, we're stuck, do we have cell service to call a tow truck?" but they apparently got out on their own.

Huh. You can apparently add a warming drawer to an existing range. Or maybe just install it under the counter? Unclear.

I didn't go looking for this info, just a plate of shrimp moment.
