Oh! And lisah -- I'm glad you're healing well and resting! Bionic knees for the win.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
They said this flight was full but the seat next to me is empty, yay! My seat won’t really recline, boo.

The stones were kind of big, but it was a lot. Because the fun never stops, I have a dental cleaning today and tomorrow I have to get up two hours early so that Mom can take a stupid CPR class for what feels like the thousandth time.(The agency left it to the last second so it's our emergency--all of those people are stupid and The Absolute Worst.)

It was just bucketing rain here a few minutes ago.

How tiresome, erika.
Looks like we sat on the tarmac before taking off long enough that I’ll only have 14 minutes to make my connection in Dallas. Or maybe -4 minutes? Exciting! If I get moved to a later flight it makes no difference to anyone, I don’t have plans for this evening or anything, so I’m just interested to see how this works.
Oh, in a different terminal, even.
If I rebook I can’t keep my first class upgrade, apparently. That’s disappointing, I was looking forward to that.

Nice that I can rebook from my phone while in the air, I guess.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
The ungodly early meeting was to announce that our boss is leaving the company in January. Which I'm not thrilled about, but the meeting could have been about worse things.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
That's bullshit, -t.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Definitely could have been a 7:30am email

Oh shit! And boo to losing the upgrade :(
