My 4 suddenly ceased working & I went to a 5. I adjusted quickly to the new size. It’s noticeably lighter!
The Empire State Building seems to think there's some kind of sporting event on.

Ah, cosmetics packaging. "Fragrance free" = no added scent. "Unscented" = fragrance added to make it smell like nothing.
Replying to @briancroxall
Yeah. “Fragrance free” often works out to “smells like an unholy mix of chemicals.”

I’m supposed to be there today, but decided at the last minute that I should keep my germs at home. Sorry not to see you!

Thank you!

Hey, I’m with you. I’ve missed the snow terribly. If you get snowed in, the bourbon is on me.
Replying to @stephharves
It’s about time! If only I got to work from home tomorrow...

Hey, thanks for letting me know about the nice quote from @mkgold. I hope you’re well!

W00t!
Finally - real snow on the terrace.
Replying to @mmwwah
Heh. Not at all.
Now that’s a lot of snow.
This has been the strangest day. I slept in, got a haircut, had lunch with a friend, read a novel, and went to the gym. It’s… uncanny.

Saturdays! An amazing invention.
Replying to @castabile
Yay! I’m so glad to hear that.
Replying to @jvinopal, @amandafrench, @amndw2, @moncia and @katinalynn
Quite possibly! I’m flying out the next morning, tho, so will have to be brief.
I am not a little surprised to discover that I may actually be becoming somewhat adept at this grant-writing thing. #huh

Replying to @wynkenhimself
Wait, you’re serious? This is the equivalent of “I think this milk has gone bad. Smell it.” Except with bad vegan chocolate.
Replying to @wynkenhimself
It sounds either insufficiently bad or impossibly bad. I can’t decide which.

Right. Divisions are required to have at least one session with an open CFP, for which the deadline is 21 Feb. +
Replying to @dmill1951
Others *can* submit a CFP, also by 21 Feb, but are not required to do so. 1 April deadline for session submission for all.

No, only divisions.

Replying to @JenHoward
But I am confused about the shyness issue. Does this involve actual trophies?
Replying to @JenHoward
Good grief. I just read the beginning of the article. It’s more a trophy-wife parallel than I’d thought.

I am living in a sublet whose master bath has square sink, walnut vanity, rainfall showerhead, elongated toilet...

And I will miss it sorely when I move to my utterly un-remodeled mid-century standard.

It is pretty awesome. I’m preparing to take many pictures before I move.

Worry not. On either count.

Sadly, it was at a great digital remove, so I was left to stew alone. Or with Twitter.

Yes.
It has been a very long week, but it is finally over. It is time for me to pour a glass of wine & stare open-mouthed at the television set.
Replying to @rrkennison
The set was indeed turned on. Much more diverting that way!
I am following up my evening of staring open-mouthed at the television set with a morning of reading & drinking coffee in bed. #sundayatlast
In fact, I plan to accomplish two things today: doing laundry and going to the gym. If I get really industrious, I may cook. That's it.

Oh no! Sending her good thoughts — and you too.
I was industrious today after all. I not only did laundry & went to the gym but also made a killer pot of lentil/Italian sausage/kale soup.
Is it over yet?
Please can it be over?
Make it stop?

Replying to @eetempleton
Hey, cool! I’ll look forward to hearing how it goes.
This is NOT a good moment for me to be stuck between subway stations. That I have a 4G signal does not make it better.
At least being stuck down here has given me time to remember the papers I needed to bring with me, and exactly where I left them on my desk.
Way to rock the ten-plus minute delay with no information whatsoever and then compensating by skipping my stop, MTA.
Made my train with 30sec to spare. So much for grabbing lunch.
Replying to @eetempleton
I would love to have comments from your class!
Ugh but I am not having a good travel day. Between the wobbly train and the flickering fluorescent lights, I am going to be ill by DC.

How long are you there?

I like the way you think.

I have only rarely been quite this happy to get off of a train. #bleargh

The tracks were especially bouncy today & the fluorescent light over my head was flickering badly. The combo is nausea inducing.
