In case anyone else is close to someone with OCD, I found a recommendation for Herb Gravitz's book "OCD, Help for the Family." Now to see if one of my libraries has it...
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Don't ever call me whitey.
That's why I didn't go there.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It must be that it's Fri the 13th.
Dear woman in other department I thought wasn't going to cause me a problem today,
The page that promotes your stuff is as important as everyone else's. That being said, you do not get extra promotional space on the homepage. Particularly when that space is the main way people can get to the sign-up flow. You know, acquisition. What we were told trumps all other departments.
In short, no.
Cheers, Me
I think maybe I should just go home now.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
On a lighter note-I kinda love Jack Black for those Men for Women commercials. Maybe also for Brutal Legend.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I wanted a bagel at the coffee shop yesterday but I got a croissant instead. Both options were plain.
Weekend: today-many errands, including yarn store,yay! Then setting up one church`s sound system and rehearsal for the other church. Sat-teaching, church, planting onions & garlic, and cleaning house. Because Sun-leaving on train trip, whoo! Convention then holidays with the families. Should be fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
there was Colin!
Good times indeed. That was one of his first big exposure gigs, and it came with a personal trainer and dietary regimen and everything. Very exciting.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone.
Weekend plans: not much. Chipotle is test-marketing a new vegan "chicken" burrito, and right now they only have it at one location, which happens to be in DC. So I'm probably going to Chipotle for lunch on Sunday.
Thanksgiving stuff: my mom makes tons of lists for Thanksgiving. There is also a schedule, showing who is cooking what and when. And she puts all the serving platters on the kitchen table ahead of time (we eat at the dining room table) with post-its on each one telling which dish gets served in it, so that even if she's not the one putting the dishes onto the serving platters, they'll still be on the ones she wants.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fancy!
OMG, I realize the real reason I keep cooking -- I keep smelling some neighbor cooking, and it smells fantastic. Today I think I'm getting potatoes and bacon.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Happy Birthday, Hil!
