I tried to light my fireplace because it’s surprisingly cold in here, but apparently at some point I turned off the pilot light (I’m not sure when—it’s usually overly warm in here, rather than cold, so I rarely use it) and I don’t know how to turn it back on! Oops. I need a handyperson
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I started work an hour and a half early because I told my coworker I'd be available in case she had problems (and good thing, too, because she had a problem) and quit half an hour late because I just had a lot to do, basically, but now it's taco time!

I love this smeg fridge in yellow or blue [link]
OMG you can get a Union Jack fridge!

Actually with all her years of aerial, Matilda is an expert rope climber. Her gym teacher in Middle School would have her teach the others the proper technique.

My realtor said that both the purchase price and extensive renovations are well within their budget. So, hoping that this is the one. I am so ready.
Oooh, fingers and toes crossed. That sounds promising.

Batman pole from the turret room is a fantastic idea!

When Harlan Ellison took me on a tour of his house he told me he did have secret passageways behind the bookshelves. And I believed it because the entire house was built to his specs.

One of the historic homes I have toured in Martinez has a secret door into a secret bedroom behind a bookcase, built by the owner (I think he was a shipbuilder? Something like that) because he could. It was kind of a mundane and small guest room with the door open, but that it existed was super cool. I do daydream about doing something like that.

Happy birthday, Laura!
I am making note of these beautiful appliances for future reference, as right I'm only in the market for the occasional small appliance.
I burned much of the day working on my performance evaluation, and predictably, waiting until the last minute to do a thing is awful and I hate it. I'll take another look at it tomorrow, but I'm torn between wanting to do a good job highlighting all the work I did and being paralyzed with not caring very much.
Well, I got the Pro Tools edits completed that were needed, so that's at least one things completely off the list.
Mentally slapping your hand, ND. I'm taking a victory lap every time I accomplish one thing.
ND, I am using Google Reminders for things like "Hey, go change the sheets", so from here you're doing okay.
My calendar is a sea of reminders and time blocks for almost everything and has been for quite some time, although the panini certainly has made the focus situation more dire.
My whole body is shriveling at the thought of it.
It gave me pause! I had to turn the heat back on and I may even go so far as to wear an actual coat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was kind of a mundane and small guest room with the door open, but that it existed was super cool. I do daydream about doing something like that.
Ever since I learned that you can get a door with a bookshelf built on it, I've been trying to decide if/where that is feasible in my apartment. I'm not sure it would ever look like a secret door, but I am keeping the dream alive!!
Dana, you seem to have my weather! Near 70 today, freezing tomorrow (high of 35), snow Friday.
