I completely forgot I had stashed some instant oatmeal in a corner of my desk, so now I am having oatmeal. Yay! Added too much water, though, so it's soupy. Alas.
Angel's lame. His hair goes straight up, and he's bloody stupid!

I am shocked that “ lenten is not on the spelling bee word list. I guess autocorrect wants to capitalize it which makes it more of a proper noun? Maybe that’s why? But I thought it was not.

What's a proper noun and what isn't is often a surprise to me in many contexts. I wouldn't have thought that was, but I can kind of see it, I guess

I'm happy to report Mom's surgery went well and she's recovering nicely.
Fantastic!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all.
Monday it was cold, rainy and windy in CT. There was a tent set up at the gravesite, but I still got rain blown in my face. I was also the only one wearing a dress. The service was nice but sad. Saw my cousins who I hadn’t seen in a very long time
Last night we flew down to Florida. This morning was the memorial service, followed by brunch at my dad’s house. Shiva was at 7 this evening.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Oh, Sheryl. You and your family are so much in my thoughts. May there be comfort and good stories for you.

Completely failing to respond to the thread so far in my rush to complain that my boss wants me to watch an hour long video of a someone we might hire as a contractor working through a an exercise and give him (my boss) feedback and every part of that makes me recoil with DO NOT WANT (besides the part where we might hire someone because we have too much work and not enough people so someone else on the team would be great). I'll do it, but I have to complain somewhere

One of the Midnight Burger side projects, Welcome to the Horizon (which is awesome) is abbreviated WTTH, and I always read it as Welcome to the Hellmouth, because BTVS got in my brain first and now there's no room for a different reading of that abbreviation.

Yeah, no getting away from that. It looks like I will be running into "subscribers only" episodes of Midnight Burger before too long. btw, so I guess I will have to figure out how to subscribe. There are multiple options and that is confusing! But probably if I just accept that I am already ensconced in the Podcasts app and go with that it will be fine.
