*vast quantities of gin

So my updated takeaways from my sister's awful final illness and death are: life is short, use the good china and throw all the parties you can manage/find an excuse for.

My sister would have had such a great time at the after party. Cast quantities of fun were consumed. At one point I was deeply afraid we were going to run our if tonic. Much delicious food. Many wonderful people.
All combined to remind me that I actually love throwing parties.

Haha no, I'm feeling a bit guilty for the number of times we've eaten hot dogs or frozen flatbreads since we moved. If it weren't for bagged salads we'd have advanced scurvy by now

And thank you! I've loved those dishes forever and am delighted that nobody else in the family claimed them

Yes I'd rather be eating something better off them. Moving and life have us operating in survival mode a little bit.
But I demanded that we retire our IKEA crockery last night, so all meals are on the fancy china now

Thanks! The runner is a rescued family heirloom and the napkin was made by a local weaver.
Here's the pattern

The end stage of moving is a worst of worst situation, so extremely relieved to be here, with all our stuff and our rock star kitties (seriously, they have been utterly amazing throughout this process, even when they were very obviously extremely stressed)

Last yeah I was told my performance review (and therefore also my bonus) was contingent upon doing enough "experimenting" in Q4. Back in everyone's goals this year

I once lived in a place where the landlord patched the ceiling in the porch instead of the leaky roof. Which the contractor told me all about the following winter when the roof of the porch collapsed after a heavy snow followed by a warm spell

We are being forced to use it on a company wide basis and I absolutely hate it. Most recently was encouraged to use it to sift through an 8000 line spreadsheet. "It's just gonna hallucinate so that won't save me any time or effort"

I have two suggestions for hospitals.
First one is long standing, formed this thought while my mother was dying. Candy bowls of Ativan in every room.
Second one: on site rage room. I swear it would solve health care funding.

Also I recall during the Ford years hearing a lot about Jack Layton/Rob Ford voters. Most voters don't have a coherent theory of politics. It's just feelings

White union dudes vote conservative pretty regularly. It's enraging but it's also really common
