To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh, Cindy that's so hard. It's so disheartening to have so many things squeezed on so many different fronts. I'm so sorry.

msbelle, what you're going through is so incredibly stressful and frustrating, and I know you must be heartsore too.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I had leftover chicken marsala for lunch, and that is about the best thing that's happened so far today.

What is even happening?

I went to make French Toast, because I was feeling sorry for myself.

Oldest son called.

I burnt the French Toast.

I'm out of eggs.

I wish I had a root and [whatever that thing is we used to say], which I think Shawn originated.

ZenKitty, how are you doing?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man, Cindy. That is A Lot. Here's hoping things get better for everyone.... eventually.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

And here I was, feeling sorry for myself because I woke up thinking that it was Saturday, and then drove out wondering why I was seeing all these people and schoolbuses and so on.

Punishingly Intricate

That is too much, Cindy. Sending love and a hope for the balance to move to many more good things / fewer stressful things soon.

Also, wishing for Mac to get any part of his act together, msbelle. Sigh

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I burnt the French Toast.

That's just insult upon injury, and I'm shaking my fist at the universe for you, Cindy.

What's on tap for the weekend?

I have a book to finish reading and the first season of Star Trek: Disco to finish watching so I can get them back to the library.

Thing I'm not saying to a MAGA asshole on Twitter:

Of course you're a Cowboys fan.

brillig

the first season of Star Trek: Disco

That mid-season dance battle between the Federation and the Romulans was epic. The disco ball on the bridge is surprisingly effective during red alerts.

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

I'm so sorry,Cindy, that sounds like an epically hard time.

Ha, Dana!

I'm getting my haircut and reblued for the first time since...October? The pile of trimmed hair was the size of a small dog.

Making up songs is an excellent coping mechanism, msbelle. For my personal values of "excellent ", anyway.
