Sorry, I mean in writing.
I got basically called out in a meeting the other day for saying "Hinton" with a glottal stop in the middle instead of the nt.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
My 30-year class reunion is today, and I just need to remind everyone that I finally get to see the FORBIDDEN FLOORS of the former convent. Wooooo! (Catholic school kids are weird.)

Our wings are not tired.
Nice! Enjoy.
I went to Catholic school and did see the nuns quarters, well at least the kitchen and living room type areas. Mostly because they used students to help them clean! All in all I loved my nuns and don't regret any of that experience.

I am, however, skipping the Mass at 3:00 before the tours of the school start. I'm going to slink in at the end for the group photos of each class, and then undoubtedly have the vapors about how much has changed in the past 30 years. (I have this stubborn belief that NOTHING CHANGES once I've left it. This leads to a lot of cognitive dissonance on my part.)

Forbidden floors, woo!

Yeah, I am at the weddings and funerals only point with Mass. Of course, that would be kinda in the nothing changes category, except when I was in Catholic school it was in Latin.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm applying to 2 study-away courses (January in Cuba and spring break in DC) and each of them requires a 500-word essay and now I remember how much I hate writing cover letters. What unique attributes do I bring to the program? I'M A FUCKING ADULT AND I WANT TO GO TO CUBA, THAT'S WHAT.

Cannot help with anything cover letter like, but I wanted to thank you, Jessica, for reminding me about the rumble jar. I finally used mine to make coffee and it is very nice indeed.
That might be a unique attribute you bring to a program? Somehow? I am bad at this.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Well, Mr. S got suspended again. They want us to bring in an aide for him, so we need to find that.
Sigh...this plus another night where he woke up and wanted to sleep in our bed, plus spending most of the afternoon at the car dealer for routine maintenance has left me rather stressed and unhappy.

I'm so sorry, Sheryl.
I am feeling pleased with myself for making a deal to do a short podcast's worth of housework -- 25 minutes and I did the vacuuming and gave the kitchen and bathroom floors a lick and a promise each! (NB: Not an actual lick.)
