I got stupid. The money was too good.

Oh dear, shrift

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Oh, HELL no, shrift.

If they're doing something this stupid, I'm thinking looking for a new place, even if you're able to opt out, might be a good plan.

Yeah, I may have to start looking around for what's available this weekend. I'm waiting until I calm down to write up a response listing my concerns and requesting to opt out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Y'all, after earlier discussion, I just made pizza for dinner and it is DELISH. Sourdough crust I made a couple of weeks ago and froze, a truly half-assed tomato sauce I just made, and sliced onions, black olives from a can, and pepperoni.

Also? I got a prescription for sleep last month, but it's actually an antidepressant, and I think it's working! On both fronts, honestly.

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

Timelies all!

Trying to figure out how to keep Mr. S amused this weekend by myself when it's going to be in the 30's during the day. Watching Netflix all weekend isn't it.(Never mind that the stuff he watches makes me feel like my brains are dribbling out of my ears...)

That’s great Jesse!!

I’m hoping the Botox in my jaw is working but am afraid I might need more to make a real difference. Or just it’s not going to be enough. Yesterday was a bad combo of “first day of period” and “had a glass of red wine the night before” and “ran out of caffeinated beverage” in the morning, and I was useless all day. Today is much better though.

Ooh, good luck with the botox, meara!

Is there an indoor playground kind of thing you can take him to? (Of course around here, people would be going to the outdoor playground if it was in the 30s!)

Mmm, that pizza sounds great, Jesse! I had a deal with myself that I would start chainsawing the blackberry bushes in the backyard after work today and order pizza, but I ended up working an extra hour and a half, mostly because I made some stupid errors I had to fix before the weekend, and now I feel like between being tired and having a proven track record of not braining very well today it would be a bad time to be wielding a chainsaw, but I still want pizza. Not sure how best to resolve this dilemma.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Leave the chainsaw. Take the pizza.
