I imagine that adding pumpkin pie spice would help get a non-oatmeal fan less reluctant.
I used to do this AND stir in a tablespoon or so of actual canned pumpkin. The pumpkin added creaminess, it was nice.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

I'm back to school, so I'm skimming very much. Apologies.
Then you might have missed esse thanking you for your card. So it was received, Shir.

Gris I was just thinking I'd rather have pumpkin than pumpkin spice, in my oatmeal! Now I just want pie for breakfast though.

Straight up pie for breakfast is hard to beat

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
skipping like 100 messages to offer these words of wisdom: When life gives you meth, DO NOT INGEST IT. Tie it up in several plastic bags and then deposit it in the trash. Do not burn it. Do not flush it down the toilet. But above all else, do not ingest it. Signed, lives in a neighborhood full of very sad people whose lives and bodies have been destroyed by meth.
Unrelatedly: baked oatmeal is AMAZING. Yes, it takes longer, but the texture is divine and it's halfway between an oatmeal cookie and a very dense cake. Nom nom.

Caught up. I also struggled over our mayoral race. Ended up writing in a candidate for the first time in my life. This might just actually be a race decided by write-ins which is just fascinating. Dropping off my ballot later today.

I came across a link to this. I love Rhiannon Giddons and this hit a sweet spot for me. I've mentioned to a few people in real life that, in 1941, my father enlisted to fight fascists so I don't see why being against them is now a bad thing.

Had my last 1:1 with my boss as she will be in another (new) department (by herself, pretty much) next month. She mentioned that our VP has been using the phrase "heart surgery" to describe the department reorganization. I don't think that is making me feel better, but it does make me feel like I'm not overreacting - still very unclear what will actually change for me personally, trying to roll with the uncertainty, that is supposedly one of my strengths but I'm not feeling it right now.
