We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

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

Yikes! That seems like a bad place for the power to go wonky!

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

Happy Monday Tuesday.

I’m starting to loath coming to work and that’s no good. I need an attitude adjustment.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

I managed to get the cats out of the crawlspace under my house and seal the entrance behind them yesterday, so hopefully that's an end to the neighborhood toms circling my house and serenading all through the day and night.

I also took Mom out to a mystery movie that turned out to be an advance screening of How to Make a Killing last night. It's apparently a remake of Kind Hearts and Coronets. It's enjoyable for much of the run time, but really fails to stick the landing.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I found a king cake at Wegmann's from an actual Louisiana bakery. It's stuffed with cream cheese, but that's better than some kind of fruit stuffing. (Stuffed king cakes are incorrect.)

The congruence of holidays this year is wild!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Man, I forgot it was Paczki Day. I have what I'm pretty sure is norovirus -- the symptoms are dead on, and it's going around Cincinnati. So I'm a little distracted by the Ick, and I will definitely not be eating any paczki today! Zofran and gatorade for me!

Co-worker gave me some Neuro caffeinated gum to try. Tastes like going to the dentist? But not, like, bad. IDK. I got hot chocolate instead of coffee on the way in this morning (very bad driving weather, most of the office is WFH) so I think I will be okay to have a regular cup of coffee in a little while

Aw, ill-timed ick! I got food poisoning for Mardi Gras one year, even less fun than at other times IMO

I am definitely resentful. Boo!
