Timelies all!
{{{David}}} I’m sorry your MIL is being so awful.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
More running around today, but managed to get Matilda's prescription filled, and do the Zoom call and make two key emails and get umpty cakes and pies and order pizza for Matilda's birthday.
She was not in the mood for birthday anything but her friends came over early and that cheered her and they were laughing and everybody had a good time with pizza and cake and cocktails.
it came just the same.
It was very nice having Emily and Hannah back in the house for a night, as they are both warm, big presences.
I'm extremely excited that I only have to massage the to-do list tomorrow without anything immediately pressing and my MiL is at a trade show all day.

I watched Over the Garden Wall last fall, because a coworker (with similar tastes) told me I had to see it. Now I’m haunting EBay, trying to nab a dvd for under $100. Such a good miniseries!

Our wings are not tired.
It's good to hear that Matilda was surrounded by love and laughter for her birthday. It can help her know that she can get through this in baby steps.

Apparently over the garden wall is streaming on Hulu.
Also GBBO is back on Netflix starting Friday!!

I remember hearing that people like Over the Garden Wall but I have yet to seek it out. And that's pretty much all I know about it - people like it.
The half a day of sick time I took last week was as a Sr Business Analyst and the holiday I took Monday is showing my job as Demand Planner and my time card looks seriously weird. But I guess that's how it's supposed to look. Our VP thanked me for being cooperative with the change and it became apparent in our department meeting yesterday that in general the title stream lining is not going smoothly. But it's not my problem! I'm all set.

Also, I checked my vaccination status with Kaiser and they don't recommend I get another booster until 2034! Flu shot tomorrow, I guess that's what brought it to mind.

I'm having leftover pizza and leftover cherry pie for breakfast, ignoring the post-birthday disaster in the kitchen and enjoying having the house to myself for a minute.

Leftover pizza and pie sounds wonderful, as does having a moment.
Things remain noisy here with construction. But I can maybe see it coming together. Fall temps make for very chilly evenings, but highs have been in the 60s and 70s so I can't complain.
