I think all my velvet pants are dance costumes. Or possibly figments of my imagination. Definitely packed away somewhere, if they exist

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Thrive to spite them
Chop off hair !
M's sister snagged us a heater
Oh at the Drs office yesterday for my physical I got compliments on my hair
And my blood work came back and everything looks good. Improvement all around. When I was there in August I was 218. I gained some but now I'm down to 214. So I guess all trending in the right direction
Work is slammed. We are running out of atuf

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
All velvet is grand.
As I am middle aged and contractually obligated to love Spindrift, I am delighted to announce that our cafeteria has a new flavor called "Island Punch" which his Passion Fruit, Orange, and Guava. There is POG Spindrift. My life is complete.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
I log in to Natter and lo and behold there is a discussion of velvet pants/leggings. What a vast improvement in my day.
Thanks, folks. You're all foamy as hell.

I regret to inform the world that I'm wearing Wednesday lounge pants with an oversized Wednesday shirt (AKA, I'm still in my PJs) and an even more oversized Wednesday hoodie. And, like, warm socks.
ADULTING!
Also, I need to do things like shower and brush my hair, but the towels are currently being laundered, and I don't feel like dealing with a drip-dry afternoon.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I mentioned my team was reorg-ed into a better structure, yes? And that I'm not a manager anymore, which is fine. My new "creator" role is one I'm honestly excited about, but my new title weirds me out: Product Enablement Program Manager. There's no "editor" or "technical writer" in that! That's weird and change is scary!
(I know I can do this, but omgwtfbbqpolarbear.)

That is weird, Atropa, but titles often are weird for no good reason. I am excited for you!
PMM, is that “Wednesday” like today is Wednesday so these are Wednesday clothes or like Wednesday Addams?

Ooh I am also middle aged and therefore intrigued by POG spindrift
I quit working earlier than usual (started early too) and the dog is whining that we aren’t going out promptly. But he always wants to go to the school nearby, and we can’t go there until school is over around 4. He thinks I’m just being mean. He does not understand clocks.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ahh, the days of the leather pants discussions...
meara, poor dog. So disappointed in the vagaries of time.
Poor skunk, poor raccoon.
Himself has had two Mohs surgeries, and no sign of recurrance. May the same be true for Buffistas.
Trudy, good on getting the EMTs to take your mom where she needed to go.
Best of luck to all threatened by however many inches of ice. And may there be enough snacks easily available for all.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I have a dog who hates rain, cold, and snow and yet lives for walks. I have not yet figured out a way to get through to him that winter is not just some big trick that we’re playing on him to deprive him of the regular, warm outside.
