In the risks portion of the plan I’m writing, I have to include things like “Organization has declined to invest in industry standard tools required for this project to succeed”
It’s fine. This is fine.

I’m just shit at doing laundry before “OH FUCK” time.

Bah. 3 is very little then. The right number is whatever let’s your do laundry on a schedule comfortable for you, IMO. I vote: Ignore the “shoulds” on that frequency and roll with your normal

I should own a lot more socks then, too.

I agree! Few things in life are as delightful as nice quality new socks

When you freeze and thaw Trader Joe’s creamy tomato soup, the texture becomes NOT OK.
Also, it leaked all over the inside of my lunch bag, which is one of those small reuseable plasticy-cloth bags that I bought at the Tower of London. I have no idea how to clean it.
Also, no stores here carry dried red lentils here any more, apparently? Seriously, we went to 3 stores yesterday and Boyfriend was off today so he checked Trader Joe’s - nothing. This is problematic because my meal plan for the next 2 weeks is largely lentil-driven. I guess I’ll check the stores up here by work this evening?
Also, no one is at work today except like 3 other people. Boss, all close co-workers, and everyone on my team on vacation. I have an hour and a half left and I have run out of things to do.

I can’t spell today.
They took Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown off Netflix, and it was one of my top comfort shows.

Because I’m overly sensitive, I feel when my mother makes comments to me that she is being very critical - I think others may experience this too. What I do is not good enough or the right way or the way it should be done or up to the standards…I’m trying hard to take deep breathes about stuff but sometimes it is hard. It’s not all the time every comment.
The latest one - “I’m going outside for a walk and to get fresh air because I’m not used to all this sitting.”
Umm…1. You asked me to watch a movie with you. So I did.
2. We spent the morning doing research for our trip to London and got one thing solved.
3. I don’t walk outside in the cold because I don’t like it because I’m always cold (so I walk on the treadmill). Don’t make me feel bad about it.
I put my usual life on hold when she visits, because I don’t think she would be interested in my stuff.
She is leaving tomorrow morning.

I ate way too much of a truly delicious meal and now I feel sick but only sort of regret it.

I react this way to my mom, too. 
It’s hard. I never know how much is me Reacting To My Mom and how much is actual reality. I try to remember that often people say shit like this because they are self conscious. So when my mom talks about how much sugar is around, it’s probably not to judge me, and probably because she’s preoccupied herself.
Sometimes this works.

Not tiny: today is probably not The Day for old dog as the vet is closed, but it could be as soon as tomorrow. Unless he goes quietly in his sleep. He is not in any pain thanks to th medicine. He’s bounced back so many times it’s hard to know for sure.

I’m really excited about a project I’m working on and want to share it with people but it’s still like two drafts away from being shareable. Also, it’s a Power Point. I feel incredibly nerdy for being excited about a Power Point thing, but really I’m just excited for the event associated with it.

That is so hard - I am sorry. Whenever the time comes I hope it is peaceful and pain free.

Thanks, all. We just took him out to pee and he sniffed around like normal and wagged his tail. But this afternoon he collapsed in front of hits food bowl (we’ve put down garage floor pads to help his traction so it was a soft landing).
So no clue what or at least when.
