Punishingly Intricate

Like a dumbass, I forgot about one of the big documents I need to submit for an important review next week so I'm hurrying to update it now. And worrying about the repercussions from my client when I give it to them to review (I really hope) tomorrow morning. If nothing else, there will be whining. And I don't blame them. Man! I've just have had too much to keep track of and I'm super distracted all the time. argh! Why do I do this to me??

lisah, you are awesome and getting married to another awesome soon. And you are getting it done, regardless. So focus on that.

Green chile cheeseburger sounds yum--I heard a whole thing on NPR the other say about them! I went to a restaurant I found on yelp which was delish. Butternut soup, bread with super yummy butter, pork tenderloin with pears and puréed turnips and a chocolate pot de creme. But now i am so over full. Ow.

thanks, sara. It's true(esp about the other awesome part)! And I think I've done all I can. I'm going to sleep. And hopefully won't have crazy stress dreams!

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

Okay, back now. I made this: [link] Hopefully that will get me off my ass with respect to provocateuse properly.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's an intriguing three to start with.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Pretty sure it has to be the actual passport.

Thanks. My replacement driver's license still hasn't arrived, and I just remembered about security on the drive home today, thankfully. I'll take my passport...TO MILWAUKEE!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I really wish my boss would stop saying "You're on my list of things to do today" to people, because I always think she is making a dirty joke, and she is not.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Sophia! HA! That's one of those things I'd be super wary of saying at my job as my students still laugh at fart jokes.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Oh, fiddlesticks! (Or some expression much much worse.) I thought I'd be getting the furnace installed today, but it turns out the schedule visit -- for 8 AM -- was for a guy to take measurements and confirm that the asbestos was gone.

On the bright side, he was REALLY impressed with the abatement job, he even took a picture. And he knows that we don't have heat, so they'll bump us up in priority. I just wish I knew when it was going to be.
