It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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

I cut non-alky cider half and half (or so) with clear soda. As I do pomegranite, cranberry, and OJ. Less sweet more sparkle.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I cut most juices with sparkling water to make them less sweet. Also satisfies my craving for fizzy soda.

I got a glowing 6-month review from my boss today. Very nice to hear. Within the next couple weeks we'll meet again to discuss moving forward with promoting me to a director-level position. I need more training before that happens, but it's clear that's what she wants to do. I don't honestly want the job, but I damn sure don't want to go job hunting again, and I do want the increased salary, so, as Jubal Early said, Here I am.

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

That sounds like a good outcome for the situation, Zenkitty! Director-level sounds fancy.

Thrive to spite them

Yay Zenkitty!

Our house has been smelling very pumpkin spice-y because M's mom got some kind of air freshener thing that goes off every few mins and the latest scent she got was PS.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

It just dawned on me that the usual group outing to the pumpkin patch isn't going to happen. I already sacrificed my THREAT LEVEL: PUMPKIN shopping trips, dammit.

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

Damn. Damn. Damn. RBG died.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Damn. Damn. Damn. RBG died.

Mitch will definitely force another conservative justice onto SCOTUS.

What is even happening?

On RBG's passing from NPR: [link]

Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed."
