That's bullshit, -t.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The ungodly early meeting was to announce that our boss is leaving the company in January.
Definitely could have been a 7:30am email

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.
Oh shit! And boo to losing the upgrade :(

Better than it could have been, Atropa, but still that’s a pretty needless early morning meeting which is an affront to all that is good and just.
I guess this later flight is more popular, first class is completely full. Ythere’s a bar near my new departure gate where I can get a pineapple mimosa and pullled pork tacos, so I’ll be all right.

This too shall pass.
I'm reading and nodding, and gasping, and sending lots of ~ma in many directions. Been too tired between travels and hanging out in the hospital to actually respond. Sister is responding to treatment but has a long road in rehab after she gets out in maybe a couple more days.

Healing vibes to your sister, Laura!
OMG the influx of texts asking me for campaign contributions when I turned off airplane mode!
Having a Rum Reaper instead of the mimosa because I love a specialty drink. Will have to wait for my tacos because the cook had to run an errand? But I have time, and the other closest options are Dickey’s and Whatsburger, both of which I can get at home so that’s no fun

Not too long a wait after all and the tacos are excellent!
