The Stars and the Cookie Jar

Just some things that have gone well this week:

-- made Spanish Inquisition Cake for miraielle's birthday

-- got a deliciously scroobly slice of brie de Meaux for half-price at Dean and deLuca

-- the first fresh cherries of the season! Exorbitantly did I pay for them, too. And that wasn't at Dean and deLuca, it was at the Food Giant.

-- cleaned the bathroom

-- psychotic boss not slated to come within my bubble of sanity until approximately Thursday

-- freshly-made ice cream and fresh strawberries from the local cold-slab creamery last night

-- wickedtrue!

-- Moby Dick's House of Inexplicably Fabulous-Tasting Kebab and Tehranian Newspaper Clippings

-- A Sundial in a Grave: 1610 (I begin to think I guess the title's meaning, because of what was said a few chapters previously about a sundial actually serving the dark because it depends on shadow.)

-- clean shiny bathroom for guests


...I think all that is enough to counteract the shitpile of suck that is my schedule for the next ten days.
