I feel your pain Laura. Work stress all around right now.

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

I actually got quite a bit of work done today, even with my breaks. SO YAY! And I got a movie watch and another started.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

on the lighter side - my boss has an ongoing war with Excel, so anytime I hear him groaning, shouting and swearing ... it's a spreadsheet

I had plans to get a bunch of work done this afternoon, but then I got TRAPPED IN MY HOUSE! Ok, not really. I have a back door. But the front door knob wouldn't open! The deadbolt was fine but the bottom part didn't want to budge! I ended up having to call a locksmith! Sigh.

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

Timelies all!

The playdate may be rescheduled, since Gary has a cold.

I had to get a locksmith to help me get into my apartment because the doorknob wouldn't turn. My wrists simply weren't strong enough anymore. He cleaned it out for me.

There was just an article about people who eat the same thing for lunch every day -- for years on end, sometimes. I kind of identified with it.

From second through fourth grades I took the same lunch to school every day that they weren't scheduled to serve hamburgers.

In days of chaos, it's nice to rely on a lunch you know you like and isn't going to surprise you.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I tend to eat the same meal all the time until I get sick of it, and then I never eat it again. Since cutting carbs, I don't really have a fall back meal (pasta with butter or pasta with eggs). Right now I am really into low carb Kung pao chicken and beef. I might try pork and shrimp. For awhile it was cream cheese and sausage stuffed hot peppers. Before that steak salad. I was like this even before low carb with fancier meals, but I had go too easy things.

Also, where do you buy your underpants? I lost weight, but have been buying Lane Bryant for years. I like a high waisted brief that is tight and cotton, and I am now to small for LB. Hanes is not doing it for me- they bag weirdly, but if I get them smaller the leg holes are uncomfortable. Do I try me undies? Jockey?

I am also looking for a unicorn, which is a skirt suit where my waist/hips are in a 12 petite, my bust more a 16 , and my shoulders more a ten. I think I might just need to suck it up and either never wear a real suit, get a minimized bra, or make my own, because the idea of doing a shoulder alteration to accommodate my bust seems not like a thing I want to do.

I think my most comfortable cotton underwear is Joe Boxer brand. Trying on clothes that don't fit right is super annoying. I know my SIL is often wearing tops where the shoulders are too big to accommodate her bust. I should ask her if she has found any brand that works better.

I should send you my menu calendar, Sophia! I have recipes for everything listed too. Although I know lots of people that eat the same things repeatedly that way. I just enjoy trying new things and cooking.
