Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I wish I had nap time. The SO is napping. But he has a good excuse. Instead I am speculating on whether my goose stew is going to be super delicious or whack. Apricots, hominy, carrots, onions, ginger, chili powder, rice wine, rice vinegar and honey. And salt and pepper. I do not know. It is a gamble.

Meanwhile, I am killing fruit flies, which are in a bid to take over my house.

Oh! And I have Western bluebirds hanging out and checking out my bluebird house! Which a) has a wasps' nest in it I hadn't cleaned out yet because b) it's not exactly nesting season. But maybe if they like it they'll nest there this spring. And in the meanwhile, they can definitely use it for roosting. I hope they stay! Maybe I'll leave the porch light on tonight to draw any remaining moths, for a bluebird buffet bar.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

OMG, I have been on the phone with my boss for over 2 hours. I don't get this much attention when I'm in the office.

Thank you all for the lovely greetings. I just had a meeting which was interesting except the guy just kept talking and it became wah-wah-wah just like a Peanuts special. Mostly because I think I have a sinus infection, my head feels all wonky. Damn it.

I was going to see a movie tonight but I think I will go home and watch Precious Ramotswe solve crimes.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Happy birthday, Suela!! I think it should be illegal to have a sinus infection on your birthday. That's all kinds of not right.

Man, I'm tired. My only plan for this weekend is that I've got to take my cat to the vet.

I am a neglectful cat momma. I went to trim her claws and discovered that there is one I had somehow not trimmed in a, well, a long while and it appears to be ingrown. She did not express more than the usual protest when I was handling her toes so, I'm not sure what to think about that - except that I am horrified that I let her nails get that bad.

I have been there and cut that cat toenail.

Happy Birthday, Suela! May there be hot toddies, for the nasal passages.

Oh, thankee, we're done. Three hours later.

He admitted he doesn't like when people work from home, but on the flip side, he has at least one employee that works remotely all the time. He says he's working on it.

Note to self: business dress Monday.

Will I remember?
