I like seeing resurrection fern in coastal GA. You see a lot of apparently dead material covering the trunks of live oaks. A rain shower comes through, and the trunks burst in greenery. Before/after

Cut some shallots. Damn those little b****es burn. (Made some incredible couscous with them the other day.)
Strangely, I don’t get tears in my eyes when cutting onions, shallots, or any other typically water-inducing vegetables. Not sure where that urban legend came from, it’s just never applied to me. Or my family, I don’t think.
my HS kid has entered a new reply into our family jargon based on ads we have seen.
someone shared a story about something, and she replied “Shingles doesn’t care!”
now we find ourselves saying that to each other

I have a pointless touchbase tomorrow (well, today, now) with my boss’s boss’s boss, who is the CFO of the company, and on the off chance it actually happens and isn’t canceled, I don’t know that my heart will be in it.
I have a lot weighing on me and work isn’t exactly lightening that load, and I’m not in the mood to fake it. The whole point of the meeting is idiotic - they mistakenly thing I’m someone they want to keep an eye on. I hope I don’t give them a completely different reason to keep an eye on me.
Fingers crossed I still have a job after tomorrow.

You should bring a quilt as a gift. I hear they love that sort of thing.

I’m not sure how I should take this message from LinkedIn - do they know something about the future of actuaries that I don’t? (Or maybe it’s just my future…

Momma’s gotta lose some weight. I dropped my toothpaste in the shower (yeah, it’s all pipes) and bent down to pick it up, facing away from the faucet. The toothpaste scooted closer to the drain, so I backed it up. And my too-big behind absorbed the faucet handle and cranked the water up to scalding. And I had no idea it had even happened, too much surface area to keep track of it all, apparently.
