Buffistas

Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Stomach~ma to all the teacups, and especially restful sleep~ma to sj. I'm so sorry; your entire family badly needs a break.

All available digits crossed for Mac's apartment hunt!

Hec and I are caffeinated and I've cleared away just enough counter space to assemble spanakopita triangles for hors d'oeuvres today and tomorrow. The first time I did them they were a mess, but last time (about a year ago) I got in a nice groove and zipped through a very large batch in record time, like the Greek version of those grannies you see in the back of Chinese restaurants gossiping and assembling trays of perfect dumplings without ever even looking at their hands. I really hope I hit that groove again, though at least they'll taste good even if they look like a mess.

I'm kind of stunned at how not-stressed and non-despairing I am at work, now that my beloved manager is in remission and back at work and diligently protecting her admins' well-being and workloads. It's deeply frowned upon here for underlings to give holiday presents to their superiors, but I just want to shower her with *all* the gifts. Maybe a present for her 8-year-old instead of her? It's always good to get a present for someone's kid, isn't it?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Zen that sounds lovely. Enjoy your day.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Sanity check: how unreasonable is it for me to ask my stepdad not to bath in a cologne that triggers my asthma on the holidays?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Not at all unreasonable. On any day.

Thanks Dana, no matter how many times I ask it never happens and I'm already dealing with a very low amount of spoons. I'm so angry right now.

I realize having a very dramatic asthma attack would not be good for you, but I'd be so tempted. Maybe you could fake one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Totally reasonable, sj! That's shitty.

JZ, I know this is what "they" always say, but I bet your manager would really appreciate a nice note.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

JZ, I agree a nice note and maybe a baked gift her and her kid would enjoy?

We wouldn't even be here if ltc wasn't so excited about it. It's not like Dave and I have any interest in eating anything today. If mom lives close enough I would have dropped her off and gone home.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Dana, no that wouldn't help anything because I'm just being overly dramatic anyway.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I did not go driving this morning! Have a lunch out at one, which is about all the holiday celebrating that I want.
