After eating my sauceless tempura I went to the bathroom to wash my greasy fingers. Someone I knew came out of the stalls to wash her hands and I had a moment of "do I say hi? Do I smile and nod?" but we just did not make any eye contact at all so no interaction was needed. Made me think of Matilda
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

That saved you a trip to HR.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Forgot to say, sorry about the bad Sunday, Gud. It sounds like you got a lot done, though.
Work is worky. I enjoyed spending some time with smonster and I got some summer travels settled (visiting my niece and her family in their new place).

In teenage angst news, Dillo had his wisdom teeth out last Friday, took AP Chemistry Monday, is taking AP English as we speak (3 40-minute essays!!) and has a crisis brewing in ceramics, as the kiln fires tomorrow and he is not finished, thanks to the things listed above.
But as far as I know he has no ongoing bathroom beef issues.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
My normally over-responsible 16 year-old left his keys & ID at school yesterday after his AP Stats exam, and then forgot to go to his driver's ed lecture in the evening. He felt terrible about both and as recompense, woke up early and made everybody pancakes for breakfast! (He was already forgiven, and he can make up the driver's ed class tonight, but hey, pancakes!)

Our wings are not tired.
I endorse pancakes as a coping method.
Sorry about the teenage angst all round.

I would not want to be a teenager again for anything. Yuck.
Other things I don’t want to do: swallow (it hurts), my job (it’s boring), the workout I h e later. Boo Wednesdays are the worst. Not yet close to the weekend.

I'm familiar with that stressor! The one good thing about the abrupt end of the baseball season is that Matilda is catching up with her ceramics.
A whole cohort of Buffista babies are nearing the end of high school!
It's ten days to the Memorial and I have many little tasks to address yet.
