Found yesterday’s leftover lasagna still in the oven when I went to preheat it to reheat the lasagna. Sigh. Luckily I was also making soup.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My apartment is so cold I am sort of ignoring refrigeration rules As a Salmonella survivor I cannot say I recommend it!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've been hauling myself into the office all along and I'm really tired of it ... which isn't really reasonable, since I took the two days before Christmas off, we were closed for a bad snowstorm on Monday the 3rd, I took off the 6th and the 7th - more snow! - so I was out of the office again. I'm taking off Friday and Monday is a holiday - I'm trying to spread out my days off, since there are limited days I can be out of the office (working from home doesn't really work for me) - so I haven't worked a full week for quite a while. And I get enough leave time that I haven't been able to use it all up for several years (and no, unfortunately I can't share them out with others ... sorry).

Our wings are not tired.
Is it an option to start taking 4 day weeks on a permanent basis? Like every Friday off? The last couple years I really have gotten used to not going out.
In scrumptious food news, pumpkin swordfish is apparently running right now in local waters and it is so good. Swordfish is a favorite anyway but the pumpkin aspect has to do with their shrimp diet or something and it makes it almost buttery. Baked it and Brussels sprouts in an avocado oil and key lime juice sauce. Heavenly.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I wonder if all the action-heavy shows Mr. S watches are affecting his behavior. Sometimes it's hard to tell how much of his wild behavior is the ADHD/ODD, and how much is the Netflix.

Ive never heard of pumpkin swordfish but I’d sure give it a try!
The Botox was in and done in like 5 minutes (and $700). Supposedly it takes a couple weeks to really kick in so we shall see. I also went and bought an Oculus headset because my sister said hers is awesome And I am so bored these days. And my parents gave me a check for Christmas so…

Sheryl, fwiw, my kids have a tendency to be wilder and harder to manage the more screen time they have. We had to cut back, especially on the weekends, and I really think it has made a difference in their behavior.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That sounds so good upon some Googling.
Fingers crossed, meara.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Try adding applesauce as part of the liquid in the oatmeal pucks. H used to make breakfast oatmeal cookies with craisins and broken walnuts and applesauce. They each weighed a ton, but one was a hearty and sufficient breakfast.
