Oh man, sj. You need ice cream.
Laura, those kids are so lucky to have you and DH in their lives! (I mean, this kid today, but I know there are many others.)
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
High school shooting down the block from my MiL's house in Charlotte this morning. Modestly affluent suburban neighborhood, one student dead, one arrested, so apparently it was a targeted thing.
H (who is there) is a little freaked out and a lot sad and angry.
Classes are canceled the rest of the day, no news yet going forward.

I swear to god, my first thought was "Oh, that's good."
Jesus Christ, what is wrong with me?

Honestly I don't even know what to think right now. I'm glad my nephew and niece are safe, but someone else's kid isn't.

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

How am I supposed to complain about how disappointing my lunch is when people are getting shot in schools and synagogues and grocery stores?

Please, complain about your lunch. I could really use a distraction.

It's Campbell's Jambalaya, so I kind of knew it wouldn't be good, but I didn't expect it to be quite so ... soupy.

Like the time my mom ordered jambalaya in a supposedly Cajun-ish restaurant and it came in a cup with a side of rice.
