See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

My work just sent an alert that damage to the BART tracks in Oakland has momentarily stopped all transbay service for the morning, and my first thought was, “Oh, no! Jesse’s mom!”

Day 8 of this cold. WTF. I had to cancel my ski trip because I don't want to contaminate my sister & her fiance, but on the other hand I have two cozy dogs to keep me company. And I guess I can work on my day off.

I'm pondering attempting Kouign Amann recipe from NYT. I usually make them in muffin tins, and I always struggle to get the center cooked through without burning the exteriors. I wonder if this would be better or worse?

And if I wash my hands a lot, is it too cavalier to bake something for sharing while I'm sick?

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

((Consuela)) I do feel like baking something to share when you have such long lasting cold is perilous

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My work just sent an alert that damage to the BART tracks in Oakland has momentarily stopped all transbay service for the morning, and my first thought was, “Oh, no! Jesse’s mom!”

Aw, thank you! She won't be there for a couple of weeks, so she should be OK.

And I guess I can work on my day off.

That doesn't sound good! I'm sorry you're still so sick.

Consuela, I’m sorry you’re still sick and had to cancel your trip. It sounds like the flu I had over Christmas. It lingered forever.

I lost my voice on Wednesday, and then yesterday spent too much time in meetings, so I'm trying not to talk to the dogs much.

-t, you are wise.

I’m finally getting over my nasty cold but now I have a headache I can’t shake. Probably more related to the turmoil of the last few days and feeling like I’ve been on calls talking so damn much.

I’m ready for this week to be over. I’m also really worried about what’s going to come out tonight and what will happen.

I made chicken curry soup.

I’m also really worried about what’s going to come out tonight and what will happen.
