And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

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

BTW, a couple of days later and I still have a nice lumpy tender spot on my arm from the Tdap shot. Not a painful swollen egg like shingles, but noticeable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, that has been a lot going on!

I'm glad Mac is settling in and got a job, and I'm glad Steph's brother is helpful with their dad and I hope he gets his meds etc figured out., because that is a lot for you to deal with!

But my chicken/lemon/garlic/orzo soup is soooo good.

I've been trying to eat down my freezer, which includes a bunch of turkey stock. Do you think there is enough lemon in the world to make it avgolemono-esque??

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Yay, Mac! Msbelle, I've been skipping and skimming, is this a job near you? Is he moving there permanently?

Tep, that is too much at once. I'm sorry. I hope they can get your dad's meds figured out quickly.

Mmm, turkey stock.

I am officially on vacation, hooray! I think I will kick it off with lazing about for a while and going to bed early.

Our wings are not tired.

Vaca! Vaca! Vaca! Enjoy the lazitude.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Lazy vacation is very good!

I am not having soup for dinner; I have a batch of rice on the stove for freestyle rice bowls.

I've definitely done it with turkey stock.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Congrats to Mac on his job!

That’s a lot of stress, Steph. I hope things can get resolved soon.

That sounds like a nice walk, Hec.

Work has been extra worky this week. But it’s cool out, and I have a warm cat on my lap.

I hope our Maritime Buffistas are battened down for Fiona.

My brother just texted me that he talked to the responding officer from last night, and the officer had someone pull the records on calls to the PD from Dad. Apparently last night was the 9th time Dad had called the cops since July. Jesus fucking Christ.
