That's scary, Sparky. I hope everyone is safe.

Congrats, Nanita, you deserve all the recognition.

My son is now at the age where he is deliberately doing his homework badly because it makes him laugh. Ugh, I will not be happy about this new development come middle school, but I'm trying not to overreact.

Oy, what a world.

Peace to all.

Yikes, Sparky. Stay safe.

Yeah, world is making me tired. So I baked more cookies. Y bound. Glad you are safe, Sparky.

Whaaat? That's a thing? Very weird.

I am sadly disappointed in the caramels I bought (at Teppy's instigation!) which were more liquidy caramello than chewy. But I also bought a bottle of spiced cider (alcoholic) and it is delicious. Possibly dangerous that it's 22 ounces and not yet 7pm. Um. I've drunk about half of it. This may be a bad plan.

That's great news, Nanita!

And, that's scary, Sparky. Poor maintenance worker.

Congratulations and also of course they promoted you, Nanita!

I got up early enough to take advantage of the coffee service I asked for... that I hope was my coffee service and not someone else's staying in the same corporate apartment as me, but you snooze, you lose.

If I lived closer, I would come to your rescue and take them off your hands. I am fond of chocolate-covered caramel no matter whether it's chewy or more Caramello-like.

I mean, I still ate FOUR of them. But if they'd been chewy ones I probably would've eaten like, six.

You're a trouper.
