Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Ow!

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.

Ow!

All of that sounds No Fun.

I'm pretty psyched that the meeting I was supposed to have from 11-12:30 tomorrow just got cancelled.

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

I am having sciatica pain too Dana, well numbness anyway. Numbness is definitely a step up from pain, but it still bugs. Hope you get relief soon.

Scrappy, you might see if the sinuses are causing the tooth pain. I was once having terrible pain in a tooth and had actually scheduled a root canal; the regular dentist had x-rayed the tooth and commented that my sinuses were full, so I tried using the equivalent of a neti pot and that pretty much eliminated the tooth pain.

You may have something more serious, but check the sinuses first ... you might save yourself some pain and hassle.

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

eating too many cookies to get rid of the box is 100% in the spirit of Shrove Tuesday, no?

Yes!

Ugh, sciatica and also tooth pain. Sympathies!

I am thinking Popeyes for lunch.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Nothing for Shrove Tuesday here. Maybe I will make pancakes or waffles for dinner tonight.

I made breakfast for dinner last night (yum!) but am now a little sad that I can't really justify doing the same thing tonight.

I have to write my self assessment by end of day Thursday.

Somehow I must find the fortitude not to copy and paste the shrug emoji 100 times.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

What happened to those guys who used to running around hitting politicians with pies? Can we bring them back?
