I am not wearing velvet pants of any color and now I'm wondering why the hell not.
I'm with you on that, with an added, "Why don't I own velvet pants... of any color?"
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
I'm in the 4"-7" snow band for the weekend as of last forecast check, but uncomfortably close to the 7"-9" area. Extra sodas and Doritos have been stocked up, and I already had 10 days worth of meals on hand. Must remember to open the faucets Friday night to protect the pipes.

Velvet leggings count, right? Not that I'm wearing them right now, because regular leggings were at the top of the drawer.

I think all my velvet pants are dance costumes. Or possibly figments of my imagination. Definitely packed away somewhere, if they exist

Oh at the Drs office yesterday for my physical I got compliments on my hair
And my blood work came back and everything looks good. Improvement all around. When I was there in August I was 218. I gained some but now I'm down to 214. So I guess all trending in the right direction
Work is slammed. We are running out of atuf

All velvet is grand.
As I am middle aged and contractually obligated to love Spindrift, I am delighted to announce that our cafeteria has a new flavor called "Island Punch" which his Passion Fruit, Orange, and Guava. There is POG Spindrift. My life is complete.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
I log in to Natter and lo and behold there is a discussion of velvet pants/leggings. What a vast improvement in my day.
Thanks, folks. You're all foamy as hell.

I regret to inform the world that I'm wearing Wednesday lounge pants with an oversized Wednesday shirt (AKA, I'm still in my PJs) and an even more oversized Wednesday hoodie. And, like, warm socks.
ADULTING!
Also, I need to do things like shower and brush my hair, but the towels are currently being laundered, and I don't feel like dealing with a drip-dry afternoon.

I mentioned my team was reorg-ed into a better structure, yes? And that I'm not a manager anymore, which is fine. My new "creator" role is one I'm honestly excited about, but my new title weirds me out: Product Enablement Program Manager. There's no "editor" or "technical writer" in that! That's weird and change is scary!

That is weird, Atropa, but titles often are weird for no good reason. I am excited for you!
PMM, is that “Wednesday” like today is Wednesday so these are Wednesday clothes or like Wednesday Addams?
