Sad to say that I have done nothing to celebrate the day. Cold still making me lazy. I did get my nails done. Bailing on going to watch DH's big game tonight in favor of feet up and television.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Our wings are not tired.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It kinda makes sense that impostor syndrome might be particularly acute where you work, Jesse.
True!
OH! At band Mardi Gras Sunday, someone brought vegetarian muffalettas, but they were gone before I could examine what was inside!!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Tired. Also the middle of my back has been hurting on and off for a while. Don't know what I did, other than general getting old stuff.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Ada Palmer said that there is always a trade off between current cultural norms and historical authenticity. For example, in Renaissance times, bright or intensely dark dyes were a sign of wealth, so a 12 year old from a wealthy house would likely wear lots of deep, rich colors in her dresses. But these days we tend to think of, say, a burgundy dress as something for an older person, and we'd expect to see the 12 year old in a costume drama of the period to be in white or pastels. The bit about costume choices starts a little past halfway down, but I think it's all interesting. [link]

I can guarantee there was chopped olives because without olives THEN IT'S NOT A DAMN MUFFALETTA!

Agreed, obviously. There did seem to be olive salad left in the box.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm assuming they were too delicious to last long enough to be examined, so well done vegetarian Muffaletta making musician!
I had steak and popcorn for dinner. Not anyone's tradition, so far as I know, but kind of fitting. I need to throw some beans on the Instant Pot for breakfast now...

I did not think about how to manage making black-eyed peas for lunch when I was buying a ham hock. Oops.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We had pancakes for dinner, since today is also Pancake Tuesday. (And because I am susceptible to people's pictures on Facebook of *their* pancake dinners.)
