I'm here with your obligatory yearly reminder to go get you some paczki today. I lost count of how many different fillings our neighborhood bakery offered. More than 10, I know that much. Damn, the bakery smelled GOOD.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now I want onion rings! Instead I have had girl scout cookies. Actually, eating too many cookies to get rid of the box is 100% in the spirit of Shrove Tuesday, no?
ION, my job is so crazy. I just smiled at someone in the hall who seemed vaguely familiar, but you know, most people I've met here now seem vaguely familiar, and then I realized her mother was in the same unit as my father in the nursing home!

Hah, Jesse.
I arrived half an hour early for this training. If I'd known, I would have walked the dog more...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Nothing for Shrove Tuesday here. Maybe I will make pancakes or waffles for dinner tonight.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
This is the time of year when I feel a little bereft that I've never tried paczki, but they aren't really a thing in LA.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am home today, getting ready to go to the endodontist so they can find out why the tooth they did a root canal on still hurts. I also have a tooth on the other side of my head which hurts so they are going to check that out. I also have a sinus headache.
Basically, my skull hates me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have what is apparently sciatica. I'm not loving it. I also do not want to go to the doctor and be told I need another MRI.
I will take it over tooth pain, though. Tooth pain is the worse.

Did I mention that we are planning on putting our house on the market on April 1st? Lots to do before then, so we are in a mild state of totally freaking out.
I find it immensely calming to practice giving notice at my job inside my head whenever things get crazy, I have to say.

Sorry Dana, I bogarted all the meeting~ma. We rescheduled a weekly status call to today, and everything ran so smoothly we were done 12 minutes in. Would that all client meetings were that easy and quick!
Scrappy, I don't suppose you can add an extra million to the list price as an April's Fool's joke?

All of my morning meetings got cancelled, so I'm just going to get some work done for a while until I go to a talk with Wendy Davis.
