Hey Sophia! Happy Birthday! I think your birthday is the day after mine (the 20th.) It's quite amazing how many people I know with Birthdays this week. Virgos stick together?
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
It's totally normal in the middle of a pandemic to go drink hot chocolate in your car in the parking lot of a Dunkin Donut's when your husband comes home from a meeting because you just have to get out of the house, right?

Our wings are not tired.
Happy belated, Sue. Good to see you. Sorry it wasn't the greatest vacation, but good you could be there for your dad. Good news about the Covid rates around you! Here in the Adirondacks it is super low too, and people are very diligent.
So here I am, at almost 1:00 am. Thinking.
I hope asleep by now, but what chrismg said for sure.
Was the mirror maybe glued to the wall, meara?

Emmett's birthday is today. Matilda's is on Saturday.
Obviously the best people are born in this week.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That does sound normal, sj.
The way that mirror is attached does not, meara. I don't have ant mirrors attached to walls in my house, but I think I've seen them mostly with, like, two clips at each corner?
Birthday happies all over!
I turned off the call forwarding on my office phone while I was there today, and got the voicemail password reset so I can check my voicemail remotely. Another department apparently has been required to put their cell phone #'s in their email signatures, but I really do not want to do that. I'll give it out to people who need to reach me (salespeople and what not) but just having it on every email seems like a very bad idea.
Man, when I left work I thought about picking up some dinner on the way home since I was already out but I was not hungry then. Now I am but nothing sounds good enough to go out for and nothing I have is really appealing, so dinner is a Luna bar and some cheese. I mean, it'll do, but if I'd picked something up it probably would have been better.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
meara, if the mirror was glued to the wall, gorilla glue might stick it back up.
Theo, stairs are hard on ankles, going down is definitely harder than going up. I hope yours heals up well.
Hello, Sue! Good to see you. The Atlantic Canadian bubble sounds wonderful.
I accomplished several things at work today, including making a thing work that the tech guy gave up on, so I feel pretty good about myself right now.

My oatmeal and I salute you.

Perhaps the ankle distracted me, but I left my cell phone at work. I feel all discombobulated, but I survived for many years without one, so I'll power through this evening...

Thrive to spite them
We had a mouse saga in the house. There was a mouse in M's mom's bedroom. Scrappy and duchess didn't do anything to the mouse except stare at it.
So we've been periodically putting Penny in there until the mouse ventured out.. and it finally did. His mom came out saying "she caught the mouse!" and Penny ran into the kitchen to her food bowl and after some back and forth of "don't touch the mouse" I explained I was going to pick up Penny while she had the mouse in her mouth , take her outside, and shake her gently until she let loose of the mouse. (I did this with another cat when she caught lizards all the time). And the tactic worked . There is no mouse in the house.
That we are aware of.
Penny got lots of treats and pettings for victory and to make up for the loss of her prize
