Apparently over the garden wall is streaming on Hulu.

Also GBBO is back on Netflix starting Friday!!

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

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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.

Our wings are not tired.

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.

I have had meetings all fucking day and all fucking week, and the next two days are no better, but I'm going to see Sweeney Todd tonight. People who displease me better hope they don't get made into pies.

Always Anti-fascist!

My mother is on her way to the rheumatologist to find out what's up with her ankle pain and arthritis. We now have two neighbors helping: One at night and one in the morning.(The one who did the most, M, has another job selling tires, too. )

Yay for Sweeny Todd. Boo for arthritis.

That's all I got for now.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Pretty much what Laura said.

Last night the term “white-knuckling” came into my head. That’s what it feels like, that I (and many, many folks I know) are just white-knuckling it through life right now. Hanging on for dear life and hoping against hope that things will ease up, slow down, maybe even get a little better.

In absolutely not-at-all related news, my car needs all three O2 sensors replaced. It’s fine, I have the money, I’d just like to hold on to some of it.
