Hey, I take some of it back. Team Just Because He Has A Mental Illness Doesn't Excuse His Assaults seems to be hitting the keyboards. Okay. I feel a little better. I was starting to feel a little unsafe in my neighborhood (not from the dude himself, but from neighbors who are apparently just fine with women being assaulted if the perp has mental illness).
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, Steph. For everyone! Not a good situation at all.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sucks, Tep. Everything about it.

I just overheard a coworker saying "That chardonnay changed my life" and I can't help but feel I would rather be in that conversation than doing the work I am currently doing.

I really do hope the guy is able to get treatment that works, whether it's inpatient or outpatient or what. There are social services that might be able to help, so I'm hoping his family can follow that up. But he also needs to be off the streets, for everyone's good, including his, because at some point someone will get violent with him.

Reminds me of the conversation I overheard about some guy who was "really proactive about his vacation time."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It doesn't help that Gary has an in-town meeting yesterday, today and tomorrow that starts at 8, so I have to get Mr. S dressed and to the bus on time.(Also, yesterday's meeting included a dinner, so I had to put him to bed, which is always a thrill.)

You are not wrong about that, Tep.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, what a tough situation, Steph.
In dessert news, I poached some pears in red wine the other night, and then cooked down the wine into syrup, which I just ate over ice cream, and it was DELICIOUS. Recommend!

Oooh, that sounds good. I am finally leaving work, and have already told my boss I'm coming in late tomorrow because I've been here late pretty often. looking forward to that a whole lot, let me tell you!
