You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I found the breakers for the stove and turned them off and am deep cleaning it and figuring out that burner. It doe not plug in, 3 wires were screwed to the ends. I got those disconnected, but still the burner is held on some way. It is beyond me, but I have got under two burner almost fully clean.

msbelle, a lot of ~ma for recent events.

Gud, how are you doing?

I got my first serious backache that will take a few days to resolve (I can work and function, just not as easily and in all angles). I feel more like an adult now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh my god, I couldn't get to sleep last night, so I'm at my 6:45 meeting with about 4 hours of sleep and despising so many things.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Everything is vaguely covered with a tiny bit of ice right now, so my walk to work felt more treacherous than it probably was. Also my face is still frozen.

Our wings are not tired.

meara, I hope your vacation week includes pampering.

Mr. S, give your parents a moment to chill and relax on the cruise! I hope there are toddler activities on board to occupy him.

Hi Shir, take it easy old lady!

Dana, you need to move to the east so your meetings would be later.

Still no voice today, but going for my mani/pedi later. Not supposed to be contagious but I'll wear a mask if SIL wants me to.

Eeep, be careful Jesse. I looked pretty funny walking when I was up north. Each and every step deliberate. But I didn't fall!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I must remember that last week's feedback session was much worse, which may help me refrain from wishing a cartoon anvil would drop on my coworker's head.

I feel like "not worse" than last week's session is not a high enough bar, and cartoon anvils may still be appropriate.

I just said to my coworker that I don't have enough time to be at work this week, and she suggested taking Friday off! Brilliant! I really don't think I'm going to have anything to do that day anyway, work-wise, and as she pointed out, I can do some stuff from home if there's anything that's actually urgent.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My unit's director brought in Bailey's-laced chocolate truffles. All is forgiven. Not that I have a lot to forgive him for. He's actually building up a fair bit of credit.

I went back to sleep for a bit after my meeting ended. I am less homicidal. (Also, there may have been doughnuts.)
