The sun is out and drying the roads! Yay! There can be three feet of snow in my yard, but I don't care if the roads are clear.

I swore I wouldn't buy a house with a north-facing driveway. And yet where do I live? The other side of the cul-de-sac is all nice and clear, my side is a MESS.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm looking at previous Ask a Manager entries, and someone wrote in whose company played an April Fool's Day prank on the employees and told them they'd have to come in and work unscheduled overtime that night and the next day.

That was the WOOOORST!

I got a window ledge thing for my cats that they love.

Yeah, I saw some of those. Maybe I'll do that.

Or maybe I'm going to get three of these, because they make me laugh! [link]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The window ledge cat thing is great! I need to put Pixie's back up. I figure cardboard cat houses/posts/whatever are a good call because (a)cats love cardboard boxes and (b) you can toss it in with the recycling when they get tired of it or destroy it.

In really funny news, I came home and now can't get to any work domains. I think they're down.

Clown minister mom definitely wins the wtf competition for me.

Sara, best of luck. Your work/contract frustration has been awful for years!

I am suddenly wanting to bake All The Cookies. Maybe because I don't want to do All The Work? I'm only home a few more days so I wouldn't even have time to eat them BUT they'd be too stale to bring to my sisters house. Hm.

I have gone shopping! Not sure how I'm fitting everything in my suitcase, but that's a Future Me problem. Other than something I need to order on Amazon, I should be done with Christmas shopping. Any shopping I do after this will be purely selfish.

I've ordered room service, so once I eat, my remaining task is writing.

Went to a party last night, and I had to flee after an hour.

I don't know why people think parties are the best. Fleeing after an hour is usually what I do.

Also had a dream about Chris Hemsworth breaking up with me. No fair, subconscious, making me go through that without first dreaming about sex with Chris Hemsworth!

Unfair!

One time, I had a dream where I was the Denisof/Hannigan marriage therapist. What the fuck, subconscious? (It was such a boring dream. My subconscious apparently only ever gives me gross and icky sex dreams, never good ones.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I rarely have sex dreams, but when I do they kinda' annoy me. I end up thinking, "This should feel really good, but it doesn't."
