Went to a new-to-me Thai place for lunch, and they used SO MUCH SUGAR. Eww. It was like eating candy for lunch.
Ugh, bad very bad.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
There are probably people who'd like it ... not me, but ....
In me me me news, I really love Michaels. In addition to all the craft-y stuff, they carry this candy that's basically a fruit flavored hard candy with a filling of sale, lime and chile. So ... sweet and very spicy combined. I like it a lot.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds good, I'll have to look for it next time I'm in Michaels

I love it when a higher up schedules a recurring meeting with no explanation and at the first one says "I want this to be a conversation" and the silence is deafening because we were not prepared for a conversation, we did not know what this meeting was for, we were feeling pretty good about showing up at all and he says a couple of times "I don't expect a power point presentation" like I think he's joking but maybe not? Really great for that whole I-don't-know-what-my-job-actually-is feeling I have going on.
But two days in a row with no interruptions to our regular processes, knock on wood, so things are looking up!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ha, guess whose family member has been diagnosed with covid after our Thanksgiving gathering? It's mild, and they already sent her for the antiviral infusion. All the rest of us were boostered, and she wasn't yet because her doctor told her to get her flu shot first. So I'm not worried. But I do wish I'd known before going into the office this morning.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And then I had to explain the game to my entire extended family (along with Whamageddon) because apparently this is not as common a thing as I thought it was.
But all my blinvisible friends on the glowy screen know about it...
Ugh, Dana,

You have my sympathies, Dana. My niece went back to school yesterday and thus far nobody else in the family has tested positive. Luck be with you, and yay boosters.

Yeah, I'm grabbing your "no other infections" karma.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have picked up and sorted my clothes and found both jackets and all three missing shirts.
Also, Robyn Hitchcock HQ replied promptly and my order will be fixed today.
