And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

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

That sounds indulgent and interesting!

BTW, if anyone missed out on pancakes today, I believe that Sunday is Butter Sunday - more about blinis than pancakes, I suppose, but basically the same.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Supper tonight is going to be goldfish, a banana, a couple of satsumas, a handful of walnuts, and maybe a rice cake or two. Possibly string cheese.

We've had the not-flu--chills, can't get warm, digestive distress, aversion to food, sit-down-fall-asleep syndrome. Not fun. I'd watch nonstop episodes of The Repair Shop but I turn on the tv I'll just doze off. I don't even have the pleasure of missing school or work for this. Bah.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I failed to have pÄ…czki or pancakes today and work has worn me out.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Is there an editor in the house?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Allyson, I'm just now crawling onto the internet. Do you still need an editor?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, sorry Beverly! Sick sucks.

Is there an editor in the house?

My gut reaction to this would have been "always!" but apparently not at that time of day....

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry. That sounds like what I had over Thanksgiving. I hope it passes quickly for you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Dear coworker: It is a really bad idea to tell me to smile while I'm walking down the hall carrying a hot beverage.

Oh, coworkers. Can they just not?

My boss is solving my can't-cook-black-eyed-peas-at-work problem by feeding us fried chicken (our revenue has exceeded plan for the month which we don't have a lot of control over but I guess we can get in the way of anyway free lunch I will take it) Yay!
