Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

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

Red M&Ms are still very weird to me. I want to pick them out and toss them. But that would be a waste of chocolate.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm not sure I see the point of red food coloring in a red velvet cake. I mean, it's red velvet cake, obviously, but why not just skip it? You get a nice brown cake.
I am at the airport, waiting for my first flight. I love my tiny airport when there's no one in it. Also, checked a bag containing my stuff plus some stuff for my husband, who will join us next week. Under 50 pounds! It was a near thing.

Oh, and let's all pray I get a different seat assignment in SLC. I do not want a middle seat. DO NOT WANT.

Yesterday at 2, I got Mockingjay off hold at the library. I've got 40 pages left in it. Too bad about getting any work done today. I have 3 hours before I pick up mac, I should crank out some work and should also probably shower and put on something other than sweats. Can't seem to really care, just want to read the book, then maybe sleep.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am so excited about the extra time off at Thanksgiving next week (which, WTF??), you would think I had been working hard! Yeah, NSM. Although maybe that's why I'm so over being here every day!
I need a new career.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I'm taking a few days off this week (two half days yesterday and today, and a full day on Thursday) so I can burn off at least some of my remaining PTO. I was going to work on my apartment cleaning yesterday afternoon, but when I got home, I watched tv for an hour, did some cross-stitching, and then fell asleep for three hours. Then I spent the next eight hours doing more cross-stitching. My hands are a bit stiff today from gripping the stretcher bars and needle! But, I did get a lot of backstitching done. Still have a lot more to go, but should have it all done by midway through my three-week leave next month.

and I'm done. Even did a wee bit of work. Failed to get the trash or recycling out today AND I realized that I am out of one of my meds. That's no good. Guess I should call the pharmacy, then shower.

Punishingly Intricate
The red velvet cake I've made is chocolate cake w/ red food coloring (I've used the gel coloring so you don't need very much of it). Definitely chocolate!

Didn't you just go back to graduate school and get a new career last week?
