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

Newsflash: I have tried TJ’s Gingerbread Cream Liqueur over ice and in hot (decaf) coffee and am surprised to find I prefer it over ice

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

It's kind of weird how everyone on the internet is talking about Pam in the office buttering a cat

That is so goddamn funny. The whole thing, start to finish.

Art Crawl!!!

I met some of the cats who were at the library for Yoga with Cats. They were very cute.

Also, a friend who is at a movie theater downstate reports that despite statewide masking mandates almost nobody is wearing a mask.

Our wings are not tired.

Hmmm, that is surprising. I would think in coffee would be super yummy.

Along with all the other pre-op stuff on the list to do, my instructions say they will schedule a Covid test before surgery. I appreciate that they require this. (Also blood, EKG, chest x-ray, and all manner of abuse) Sheesh! But all before the end of year so looking forward to having it behind me in 2022.

Wow, that is soon, Laura. Hope it all goes smoothly!

Possibly I did not add enough to the coffee, or should have also added cream and sufar, or some other variable I haven't thought of. It wasn't bad, just not the substitute for the much lamented Gingerbread Latte that Starbucks isn't offering this year, which is what I was really hoping for if I'm being honest.

Punishingly Intricate

I missed the whole Pam cat butter thing.

And now I feel like it's too late.

Here's a place to start on it [link]

All the ancillary byproducts are really making me happy, but the original story is pretty delightful

Thanks, -t!! I saw a pic of Pam from the Office holding up cards with a sweet potato and a cat yesterday and dismissed it as something I could never catch up with.

Ftr, my old ginger boys were both sweet and pretty dumb.
