Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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

Oh, that is a missed opportunity! But slow cooked chicken will still be delicious, I'm sure

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It will certainly be fine. Phew, I just feel better having gotten that out.

Yeah, you don't want to bottle that up but she doesn't need to hear it - another valuable b.org service

I cleaned my oven, something I am genuinely pretty sure I have never done before in my entire 48 years of life. I mean, I've moved a lot. Maybe mr. flea did it once.

I have SO MANY emotions about work and stuff. I've been not working for three whole months already and it's mostly fine? Income-wise we're fine? I started looking at jobs and thinking about applying and it's been making me super depressed. But then I also can't just stop working forever. Gah.

I can see that being a pretty complex place to be, flea. In general but maybe especially right now when everything else is so, you know, like it is

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

I haven't been to the dentist since COVID and now I don't want to go until I have paid for all the work I had done when I broke my molar and all that. It's just debt that keeps piling up with every visit and not going for the visit doesn't seem that risky? IDK

As a long-time dentist avoider, I say do what makes you happiest. (Signed, was recommended for a gum deep-clean in Feb, didn't follow up until Covid made it too late, and now will honestly probably never get around to it.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I did make it to the dentist. They required masks (until I was actually with the dentist), took my temperature, etc., and scooted me in quickly since I'm in a vulnerable population. Went well; he commented that people seem to be taking better care of their teeth, either because they're stuck at home (by their toothbrushes) or because they wear masks a lot and, well, who wants to breathe in their own halitosis.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I am "on vacation" until next Friday.(Not actually going anywhere.) Thanks to not having used any vacation time between mid-February and late September, and earning annual leave at a high rate, I am well over the amount I can carry over to next year. Therefore I am taking 4 days off next week, and will need to take more at a later time this year.

I'm sorry, Dana

I hope you can relax and enjoy your time off, Sheryl
