I was scheduled to work from 8am to 1pm today. Short day, right? No need to worry about not getting to sleep until after the 3am tow truck outside my window, I can catch a nap in the afternoon. Except it turns out there was a typo. I just found out I'm expected to work until 11pm.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Very seriously, "Their penises are even smaller than my Dad's!"
Not since Schmacky the Man Pony has a child so undermined a relative!
Matilda had a good one the other day. I'd picked up a different brand of fruit leather at TJ's and she was complaining about it vociferously:
"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini."
Note to Child Protective Services: She's never tasted a vodka martini. Though possibly she's heard JZ complaining about them when we're out of gin.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, aurelia, what a nasty surprise.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
8 am to 11 pm? Is that even legal?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
aurelia, that is just wrong like a wrong thing.
Sniggering at the pitball pup penis comparison.
Goals for today: go grocery shopping, come up with a fab rain-ready outfit for Krewe de Vieux tonight, and possibly resurrect my shrine (I'm going through all the Rookie shrine photos, and it's pretty inspiring). Oh, and do some volunteer stuff.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Breakfast/first meal of the day/whatever it is when you eat at 10 which is when you got up:
Smoked salmon, tricolor pasta, onions, celery, chopped spinach, olive oil, a bit of butter, red pepper, dill, and some pepper sherry. Topped with slivered almonds.
