I love being able to phrase my working on Thanksgiving as "I'm letting other people go spend the holiday with their family" rather than "I don't want to be the pity guest at someone else's do, and I can eat pumpkin pie anytime."
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I was going to get up and go to the supermarket early today. I am....almost ready to go? Pretty sure it will still be better than 4pm today or after work tomorrow.
I had planned to get up early and get the Walmart/Costco/Petsmart run done before noon. Sunday morning is the best time, while all the good folks are in church, you know. But I didn't even get out the door until noon. It took four freaking hours. I'm worn out! I really need to do some proofreading tonight to get a head start on the madness that will be Monday, but I'm about out of spoons.

I made lunch and then went outside to get a haircut, but that's all I've accomplished today thus far.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My boss wants everything back tomorrow morning because this is a short week, so I'm trying to wrap up some articles, but I really just want to chill out and read my book. But I keep telling myself I can read tomorrow, because I won't have any work to do tomorrow (though the house needs to be cleaned SO MUCH).

ahaha holiday weeks are madness. I'm only in two days, and half the office is gone all week, including my boss. I have an issue that's supposed to go to the printer tomorrow and I haven't even looked at it yet because we didn't get the final files back from the vendor until last Friday. It *should* be correct as-is and not need any changes, but if that were guaranteed, I wouldn't have to proof it, now would I?
I'm still working on the perfect vodka-to-coffee ratio to get me through the day.

Steph, drug question: I took a Tylenol a few hours before taking Aleve, can I take another a few hours after? The Aleve is helping but not enough, and I know I can't take more yet and I can't take Advil on top of Aleve.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I made it to TJs and then Costco to pick up new glasses, with a nap in betwwen the two, so the only left on my must do list is giving the dog a bath.
Don't wanna though.

How is it only 6:15, it feels like 10pm.

What is coffee syrup??
It's like chocolate syrup except coffee, basically?
OMG how have I never heard of this before? Is this an East coast vs West coast thing?
Follow up question: does coffee syrup continue to taste good into adulthood? Because IME chocolate syrup doesn't.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's pretty much just a Rhode Island thing, really. Coffee milk is still pretty good!

Same. It's been pretty dark here all day, which doesn't help.
