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

Cookie monster would be disappointed in the pucks?

Cookie Monster would be SO disappointed.

That is a disappointing cookie, Steph! The ingredients all sound good and yet….

I had a bagel this morning that was somehow very dissatisfying.

I’m signed up to try Botox for my teeth grinding, today. Anyone have suggestions on anything I should do beforehand? I know a few of you have had similar.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Teppy, do you happen to have a recipe for this not-a-cookie handy?

We have some banana that needs a purpose.

Good luck with the Botox, meara. No advice from me, just hope it helps.

I did get breakfast but I'm not sure it will be enough to get me through to my next opportunity to eat. Alas, I have no bananas to turn into pucks. I haven't finished my coffee yet, maybe that will leave me more satisfied. Cookie Monster, I'm gonna guess, does not need coffee.

Call me crazy, but that not-a-cookie sounds pretty good.

My poor dog is so annoyed at me. I’m not fun

I've been feeling a little bad for my cat lately. She only comes to see me in the living room, never my room. But the stomach issues I've been having lately have led to me spending way more time in my room so she's been on her own quite a bit. Poor neurotic kitty.

Honestly, I like it with my coffee, as long as I can remember it isn't one of those super-extra-sugary chocolate no-bake cookies, because they look so damn similar.

Even though Mr. S watches the most inane stuff on Netflix, at least I'm finally getting my money's worth from my subscription. (I will ignore the disks that Gary and I have had out for years

ltc too, and I think she is picking up a bad attitude from several of them. Or she just gets that from me. Hard to tell.

I’ve made several onerous phone calls today, most of which have gotten me nowhere. My brain is short circuiting between decisions that have no right answers and house repairs that have suddenly become issues. I need to clean out the freezer before picking up ltc at school, but I don’t want to adult anymore.

Adulting is terrible, we all deserve breaks from it.
