That moment when, FINALLY, someone you've been waiting to epically fuck something up FINALLY does it and leaves a paper trail that can't be swept under the rug.

MS Teams at 3pm today

(VP) For our meeting tomorrow morning, can you also cover topic x for me?

Friends, topic x is a whole new topic and a landmine all gift wrapped in one package.

Me, right now:

Some of my friends are bemoaning their insurance premium jumps for next year with one breath, but refusing to consider universal healthcare because 'I don't want to pay for other people's health issues'.

7 quarts of homemade tomato sauce from my garden.

Up to 20 quarts on the shelf now. This weekend I'll have to cut the vines down and let the rest ripen indoors, can probably get another 10 quarts out of the size of the fruit out there.

I found an interesting recipe for a NC BBQ sauce which uses an apple mash and vinegar base for canning, but I'll be damned if I bookmarked it for later.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

@awithonelison.bsky.social I'm waiting for Trump's FDA to start pushing AgNPs in lieu of actual antibiotics.

The woo must flow.

Just got the rest of my tomato sauce into the canner, and my better half comes out from mowing the lawn with 5kg of plums from our plum tree.

Welp, looks like I'll be canning all day today.

Just back from a business trip to Italy with some co-workers.

We ate lunch/dinner with our Italian hosts, and I swear I could see their soul leave their bodies as one of my coworkers cut up their pasta to eat it, rather than twirling it with the fork...

So, I have to go on a work trip Sun-Tues in N Italy. I've received my plane tickets, but so far there's no hotel room with my booking (work is supposed to book them).

So, if I don't get a booking confirmation before I leave, it's fair game to book my own, right?

So I send out an email with some of the training materials for tomorrow's classroom training.

Them: Hi, I don't know why you've sent me these materials, I don't have anything in my calendar for tomorrow - but if I can attend, I'd like to!

Had 2.5 pounds of pickling cukes ripe in the garden, plus a pile of flowering dill.

So, I made a small batch of dill pickles in my canner today.

SOMEONE.... forgot about their Dr's appointment today so they could get their stitches removed.

Guess who had to take the stitches out, instead?

SOMEONE in this house is damn lucky I actually own a suture removal kit.

Making French Dip sammiches with the leftover prime rib was probably my smartest decision this week.

Holy. Shit. SOOO GOOD
