I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Well, I found out I'm gonna have to make subscripts in a Keynote by hand. When I bring subscripted content in from another source, it keeps the smaller size of the characters, but it doesn't keep their baseline shift. So that's an hour or so of clicking on letters, clicking on a gear icon, and tapping a down arrow three times--one character at a time. Le sigh. Not so bad as dealing with the IRS (which I had to do a couple of years ago) or liver scan requirements, but still tedious.

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

Ugh to all of that.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

There's this one puzzle Mr. S has with animals that makes the appropriate noise when you put the puzzle piece in. Unfortunately, it also is movement and light sensitive, so it goes off at random times. Life with a toddler...

Home safe! We took the risk of hopping on the highway even though it was officially closed, and we got to drive for about 40 miles at 20 mph with NO OTHER CARS. The road was snowy but not too slick, and the visibility was ok. Turned out all right, and now I'm home on the couch with a cup of tea. I have to go pick up my dry-cleaning, though, and I don't wanna leave the house...

There's a special Parenting Achievement for when you've got a toy somewhere in the house, beeping or otherwise making noise, and you can't find it OR figure out how to make it stop.

There is some damned Christmas gift in my brother's house that beeps twice at 10:02,11:02 and 12:02 every night since Xmas 2015. We still can't figure out what the fuck it is.

Today wasn't super terrible until I got the mail and found a jury duty summons in there.

Just had a tornado in town, but it's gone down. Well, a tornado was reported. I'm not certain there actually was one.

Shrift, I read that as got to the MALL. And was like "...a fashion jury?"
