Best of luck, Calli!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My nephew was 2 (or almost 2) when I started hanging around here. He'll be 19 in a couple weeks.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Remember how old Holli was when she started posting? She's on Tumblr talking about being a fandom old, and she's not wrong.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Thanks, y'all. Everything went well enough. Getting ones gums poked with pointy implements is never fun, but nothing dramatic was uncovered.
The dentist looked half my age. Sadly, that did not make him look too young to be a dentist. I could have lived without hearing "a little gum recession is normal as one gets older," but where's the lie.

Hooray for no drama!
One of my coworkers randomly baked a cake for me - she was making pineapple upside cake for her brother and saw the recipe for "my" cake on the back and figured while she was baking she might as well. So nice!
I really feel like cancelling direct-to-customer orders so we can move inventory into the outlet sale is dumb. Above my paygrade, though, apparently.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
The food section - possibly a week later? - had an article about one family that has regular potato latkes, sweet potato latkes and I think there was a third option. Since I'm not planning to make any version, I kind of skimmed over it.
In other, non-food, news, I saw a video of a school in Alaska during their recent earthquake. Kids reacted perfectly - immediately went under their desks, the teacher talked them through it, once the quake stopped he told them they could text their families to let them know they were still OK, but to stay under their desks. Seemingly, they have drills for this. I was impressed.

That does sound impressive. And better vibes than an active shooter drill?
I don't wanna work today. But later my sister and I are going to see "in the Heights"!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now I would like pineapple upside down cake. I hope I get desserts for the team potluck, but am waiting to let everyone else sign up first. What's your cake, -t?
I would also like to see "In the Heights."

She is not wrong! Whenever something goes around tumblr about people over 25 or whatever, I die laughing.
