Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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

Also, I cannot stress how very very very much I love rocks. I'm like a 7-year-old.
My dad was the same way at 83. I used to joke that I could never have an outdoor wedding, because Dad would stop to look at a pretty rock in the middle of walking me down the aisle. My great niece is also very into rocks, but she’s only pushing four. We’ll see if her obsession has staying power.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad, much as I complained about it upthread. More a series of “Really? Really?!?” at increasing volume. But today I’m drinking good coffee in the light of my Christmas tree, listening to cold rain falling in a world that I don’t have to go out into, and that’s a pretty good way to start the day.

Excellent way to start the day! I started with TJ's GF pumpkin pancakes, which I also recommend.

Tree today, I plan.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I hoarded a few boxes of that, because they're so good!

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

Timelies all!

It's been another awful weekend with Mr. S. Unless he's eating or sleeping he's demanding our attention all the time(usually Gary) and we're at the end of our rope. He's starting his new school tomorrow and I'm really worried about how things will go.

Our wings are not tired.

First day of school~ma, Sheryl. I do hope it goes well.

Fingers crossed, Sheryl. I hope it's a good fit.

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

Tons of ~ma, Sheryl.

I wish I didn’t have to head to an appointment this morning because I’m deeply enjoying the fact that there are no other people I my house today. Less enjoyable is the fact that my car is in the shop for the second time in as many weeks. This time it’s the blowing mechanism on the heater.

Boo to that, sj. And I hope your appointment is quick so you can enjoy the some house time in solitude...

I need to motivate here. Got work to get done on deadline today. OK, here I go... wish me luck.

You got this, Jen! Do the thing!

Crazier than a workday after a 3-day weekend, is a workday after a 4-day weekend. Well, really 4-1/2 because a lot of my practices were half-day on Wednesday too.

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

Even with me being in on Friday, today feels hectic already.
