I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Our wings are not tired.

I know that Bondi's replacement is just as evil, but I am really delighted that we won't have to listen to her anymore. She was so vile in the hearings. I know she got fired for not being vile enough, but I've been disgusted with her since she was AG in Florida. I hope her private sector job is cleaning sewers.

[spoiler] I am using it anyway

Going to hell for sure! Or wait, I think that is a Catholic thing. You're good.

I did several onerous paperwork jobs today, but still avoiding my taxes. Really have to do that tomorrow. I'm not going to owe any money but it is really a chore to do both the corporate and personal returns. But since I did get an accounting degree I really should just do it. Sigh. Tomorrow.

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

Many happy returns of the day, Tom!
