Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ION, I did a team-building activity in my staff meeting, and I think it worked! Too bad one person wasn't there....

Yay effective team-building. Y'all will just have to shun the one person, then.

Starbucks no longer has the holiday panini I had my heart set on, woes. I will just have to make stuffing myself at some point, I guess. Having turkey pesto as consolation. My flat white made with heavy cream instead of whole milk, though, is da bomb.

Unrelated to anything here - I wish people would just acknowledge that they did something that wasn't what they said they'd do. I always do, because it bugs me so much when other people don't, and it really hasn't caused me any trouble. That I know of.

What kind of activity was it, Jesse?

I am super excited the Kindle Unlimited subscriptions just went on sale, because I had been thinking about buying it for my sister but hadn't decided...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm glad your coffee woes worked out, -t. You'll have to give past self a stern talking to about what to pack in the emergency coffee kit.

I should be grading but here I am, not grading. This not grading is getting old! Too bad for me I have to take the kids to the dentist later, so there's more not grading in my future, although I seem to remember they have wifi there, so at least I can squeeze some actual grading in there too.

Past me was doing pretty good to get as much packed as she did, I'll give her a pass. Future me has some high expectations to live up to with all this to remind her, though.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The Low Tire Pressure light came on again in my car, so I pulled into a gas station to see what was going on, but then some creepy guys came up to me and started asking me for spare change and touching my arm and shoulder and calling me "sweetheart," so I got back into the car and continued driving home. I'll make an appointment tomorrow to have someone look at the car.

Mac is getting shots today. He's really not happy.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

The little guy was very well behaved at Chessiecon, so of course he was fussy last night, and is being fussy now.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Ick, Hil. Did the temperature drop recently? Sometimes the contraction of the gas molecules in the tires after a cold snap will be enough to trigger the sensor.
