Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Our wings are not tired.

Bleu cheese?

Yes, thank you. I had thought of serving that with the blue chips, but forgot to write it down.

Aww, I hope Jane is feeling better now. May she spoil you with good behavior for your birthday.

Do they sell blue-only popsicles?

Today at work has been the worst. I think I will be here until 11 p.m. tonight to make sure it doesn't get more awful for my employees.

I've received quite a few texts and each time respond back with encouraging words. Haven't had any from the other side. I wouldn't be rude to them though.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Normally I go for naproxen because my migraine doc told me to take it, but sometimes I really feel like aspirin does the trick, even though I feel like nobody takes it these days.

I took low dose aspirin, but the docs at NIH says it won't really keep me alive. Though I really took low dose aspirin when I was pregnant and we all see how well that worked.

(Also, I love you people. I love that we can still find topics where we are all, "well, I do this" and it's all informational and not preachy).

(Though not with muffaletas or cilantro or cutlery or commas).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Am I listening to a meeting where my coworker and a PM go round in circles? Or am I reading Venom fic which may or may not involve tentacles?

Why not both?

The PM is gone, yet she is still talking to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I should really do text-banking. I like getting the texts so much more than anything else!
