May your tumor be withered away to an easily handled size, Epic!

I just found out that my cousin who hosts the family Christmas/Hanukkah/Winter Solstice get-together is making it an ugly sweater party. I don't wear sweaters, so unless I can fit into the referee's sweater I bought for Halloween in the 90s I'm going to have to decline participation while attending.

Shrinkage~ma, Epic!

One of my coworkers planned a World Cup viewing on the office big screen throughout the tournament. I should have checked to make sure that they included the day before Thanksgiving, because I am sitting in a conference room alone, with a blank screen (the coworker was bringing his Roku). It's a comfortable space and a pretty day for a drive. And I don't mind getting out of the apartment before two days that will be very "do things in the apartment"-centric. But I am a little disappointed that one of my rare sports-bonding impulses is going unrewarded. Oh well, there's worse that happens on a Wednesday.

Oh boo on lack of World Cup! Not that I’ve watched any of it because…MEN’S soccer? Nah. But apparently it’s been exciting!

Our wings are not tired.

My Thanksgiving outfit features a Thankful t-shirt, which I will wear with a skort. If I get too warm then I'll switch to a tank top. [link]

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I’m at work today trying to get as much done as possible and not just stew in resentment for not taking today off.

One task I will be taking care of is looking up how many use it or lose it days I have this year and getting the request in for those days.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I came in to the office knowing I would never do any work at home, but I am not doing much here, either! Oops.

Wishing you an epically shrunk tumor, Epic!!!

I had a 2-day trip to northern Ohio for a consulting gig and today I’m lurking on my computer all day waiting for copyedit tasks from another gig to come in. Freelance life!

I'm WFH today but I don't really have any work to do. I mean, I sent the one email I needed to, and possibly something else will come up so I'll stay online checking email. Which is basically what I did yesterday in the office.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Tumor miniaturization-ma!

I have successfully rendezvoused with DH and kiddo, and am on flight 2/3.

They were boarding two flights at adjacent gates at exactly the same time. The one going to MSP boarded much more quickly than ours, I think due* to wc transfer issues.

* this was originally "thonk die". There are too many vowels right there together on the keyboard.

Safe travels, Debet

My calendar tells me today is Wolfenoot - I forget exactly how you are supposed to celebrate but ISTR recall something about eating meat and maybe having cake? Regardless, happy Wolfenoot!
