Aaand the little shit just showed interest in the almost-dead vinca on the radiator and now it, as well as it's pot are truly dead.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

My parents sent me a bamboo plant as a house warming present.
It's now an ex-plant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have to represent both the businesses (and whatever facet of business), development, testing, project management, web design, and at least one vendor, sometimes three.
Everybody expects that I'm with *them* instead of the other team on the phone, and I gotta juggle that.
Except my boss. He keeps stressing on my "friends" like I can afford to have them here. No, if they got paid to talk to me, they're not my friends. Although we did get along, we all know where the bottom line is, and it's not hand-holding.
I coulda been a diplomat instead of this. Just imagine.
Ha!

I don't even know what the USPTO is. Patent office?

I am reading it as "USPTO Bust that!"

I am a trained, but not practicing librarian. AND I work for gov't. I should understand this kind of screw up.
My mom is completely undone by falling last week. She's a bundle of nerves and her memory is shot. I made the mistake of telling her last weekend that my nextdoor neighbor was gone to Florida, and somehow, in her head, this became ALL my neighbors were away and I was the only person left on my street. She called me every night very worried about me, and no matter how I tried, I couldn't get her to grasp that I wasn't all alone. Thankfully, my neighbors are home (I was going to tell her they came home anyway.) but she's still worried, and calling everyday.

The vinca lived outside, I was trying to see if I could overwinter it. Apparently not.
The jasmine plant is still alive, but the cats would have to really get creative to get into it.

P.S. Jessica totally needs to take this class.
Meep! Chickens!
Alas, my backyard has no grass, so my city-chicken fantasies will have to wait until we move.
Tom, the photography class looks great, and you should absolutely not feel guilty about going. You, of all people, deserve a day off.

Oh, Sue, that's hard.
