Reasons this week can fuck off and die

[flexagon]

1. PEANUTS can cause acne? Twice recently I ate these peanut-and-chocolate bars from the Zillian microkitchen, knowing they contain butter (but I've been able to get away with tiny amounts of butter in baked things). Twice now, chin zits, which I have mentioned before as not seeming to follow the dairy "only break out before period" pattern. All I have to say is, query [peanuts and acne]. Look at all those fucking hits. But... but... my apple-and-peanut-butter snacks!


2. Someone said to me this week in all sincerity: thank you for not engaging in self-destructive behavior to hurt me. Which is something I'll just leave there, but is a solid indication of just how much fun was not being had.


3. Peeps on my team at work declared victory on almost a 20-month project today! One of my peeps in particular saw the ENTIRE thing through from beginning to end. So proud. But said peep is also really, really sad right now due to other things, and I feel like the victory is somewhat tarnished.

Those were the anti-gratitudes. Yes, some good things happened too -- most notably, getting new kitten pictures of the ocicats. I am loving this little girl:



This week can fuck off and die, but she should not. She (or one of her brothers with the same coloring) should come here and snuggle and play.

The puppy has sympathy for you. He also just learned that peanuts may be causing him troubles, and he LOVES PEANUT BUTTER.

Plus, OMG KITTEN!

Can I please come meet the kitten when she is yours?

Thank you, monkey puppy, for the sympathy. I haven't even researched the peanut thing in detail yet, much less done a test of cutting them out and re-introducing them, but oh god the Google results.

You can, may, must come meet the kitten when she is mine! :D I'd love to have you and coraline over for beverage and kitten-warming.

Kitten-warming!!!!

I hope that the hard fought victory in #3 can be untarnished. I know that you've worked really hard. The second one sounds complicated.

The ocicats are adorable! I love that grey!
