Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

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

Wow, brenda! That's amazing.

I love to hear about programs that bring older students and younger together. They always seem to do both groups a lot of good.

I probably do not actually hold the glass much, as a percentage of the time span over which I am drinking wine, but conversely each time I pick up the glass I am mildly annoyed that my fingers get in the way of swirling the wine and watching for legs along the bowl of the glass or admiring the clarity of the color. I can be hella pretentious. Maybe especially when I am home alone.

Perhaps I should take up brandy, since that's supposed to be warmed by one's hands as one sips. I like the look of snifters, but stemless wine glasses certainly would make practical sense.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hey, what's a high fiber (as in keep shit moving, but not alarmingly so) but not high calorie tasty snack? Given the amount of opioids he's on, he's going to need it, but he also is unhappy about being sedentary.

Kiwifruit also helps move things along. And is delicious, at least to me. Thankfully.

brenda, that's awesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is fantastic, brenda.

How ridiculous/old lady of me is it that I am considering buying a workout device I saw on Shark Tank??? [link]

Hilarious, brenda!

Jesse, you could also get a different kind of balance thing -- a wobble cushion (which is what they are called at OT) [link] for much cheaper

I like the look of that wobble cushion. I have a similar thing made of wood I got from a training-to-run site.

Aww Kat, calling you your name and hugs sounds adorable!

I will also drink wine out of whatever. But admit I prefer a thinner glass, over mug/mason jar?

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

It's funny because when I walk through the lower school quad, the littles yell my name or come up and hug me.

Adorable, especially since, in my head at least, the upper grades quake in fear when they hear your name. Also because hugs.

brenda, I can picture it exactly. My cat likes to run in front of me so that she can plop herself down in my path, roll onto her back, and beg for pets. Almost exactly the same thing my son used to do when he was two.

Oh and speaking of advent calendars, one day last week I noticed that my Trader Joe's had Valrhona chocolate advent calendars for $9.99 so I swooped up two of them. I'm guessing this will be an item that they have a hard time keeping in stock since I went back yesterday for a few items and noticed they were out.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

brenda, that's hilarious! Cats, man.

I just ate at Chipotle for the first time. Delicious! And very filling.
