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

Our CIO is unexpectedly in today, and because I was the only person that decided to go to a meeting that I knew wasn't happening (phone and internet were down), she snagged me and got me for a special task. I'm such a doof.

I'm grateful to have a job and friends and family.

I'm trivially grateful that the cafe that opened downstairs serves clementine Izze. I am also doomed.

I am thankful for my family who is generous and supportive. For my job even though it is ending for allowing me tremendous flexibility for this move and even enough time and space for my brain to flip out for a week. For my house which I love love love. For mac for being a survivor and giving me more than I can ever hope to give him. For friends both new and old, near and far.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am grateful my DH is back from 10 days away. I am grateful that I have lost 18 lbs and can fit in my clothes again. I am most grateful of all for the many amazingly, kind, smart and generous friends and family I am lucky enough have in my life. And of course I include Buffistas in this group!

Hmmph. I think not understanding American football is perfectly reasonable. Guy over the cube wall was totally laughing at me not knowing what a cornerback was. And you know what? I just had it explained to me, and in ten minutes I won't know anymore. Hit, get hit, throw, catch, kick. Those are the things I get.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know what a cornerback is, and I used to be able to follow the game.

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

A cornerback is the guy on defense who covers the receivers on the offense.

He's got to be fast. That's all you need to know.

Apparently a safety bit his finger off once so he could get back into the game. *That* I'm going to remember. Cornerback, NSM. Too many positions, too many different people. Not my style of sport. Basketball is by far my preferred American sport. By far. I love the intimacy and more improvisational and flexible nature of it.

I had a cousin who dated college football players, so I spent a fair amount of time hanging out with them and trying to get it, and no. The time spent with college basketball players was much more fun.

Why did I never meet up with any cricket players though?

and have good hands. Deion played both WR and CB. Remember when he was around? I had a huge crush on a CB in college. t /irrelevent

They also tend to be prima donnas, though not as bad or as flakey as the receivers can be.

Cornerbacks, that is.
