'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"

Oh, Laura, I'm so glad that the truck thing turned out to be such an easy fix!

I just loved the Buffista sprogs -- both unbelievably cute and smart, and really really well behaved for their ages, too.

(And it was Kid Day at the restaurant, with extra toys and games on hand, so before brunch there was pumpkin-painting, and crayoning and putting snappy construction toy items together -- so the kids had fun, and we had fun watching them.)

Punishingly Intricate

Everyone will help create and update a terminology list!"

Ooh ooh we did that!! Not "everyone" but my team!! And we integrated into the internal chat app we use and gave people an easy way to request a change or addition.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Creating lists is fun. Getting people to USE THEM WHEN WRITING DOCUMENTATION (or, you know, CONTRACTS) is a whole. nother. thing.

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

Timelies all!

So Mr. S had a meltdown in the education office when I tried to get him to go to the car. (No, he didn't take a nap today, why do you ask?) Sigh...

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

It's been cold for two days and I suspect that everyone I know is already tired of hearing me whine about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was all meetings at work today (7 hours of meetings), then yoga, then church meeting. Now am slightly braindead and ready for bed!

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

I'll try to do better tomorrow, meara. Tired today.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I spent most of the day just trying to wake up properly. I never really succeeded.
