Why, why, why is, Goodbye, Michael - Steve Carell's last episode of, The Office, so damned effective? Still! It's almost liEk, a challenge with DJ, now - to see how much of it I can watch until I get all teary-eyed. By the end of it, I'm all but blubbering...I still cannot believe he did not win an Emmy.

Dwight STOLE this week's episode; totally rocking the Minuet (though the whole 'Jim writing a fake book SOLELY to embarrass Dwight and Dwight actually being stupid enough to fall for it, and actually BUYING said fake book'-premise was TOTALLY weak). Andy - OH, Andy. The pain.

Got the Godforsaken car insurance paid; a week early, mind you. Huzzah. Couldn't WAIT to get that off my back. Celebrated this with ever-amazing take-out from our favorite Chinese restaurant. It's been awhile, and it's good to see that it's still worth every penny. We justify eating out there, on the rare occasion - due to the, 'free Tupperware', as we call it. I use the little plastic dishes with lids to take my lunch in, for work, and the lid to the very last one I have just cracked. Tonight's container for, 'Happy Family', will replace it. : )

My fortune cookie? "A way out of a financial mess is discovered as if by magic!" I've never seen a fortune cookie use an exclamation point, before. Interesting.

Bad news - tomorrow's outing to Pennhurst Asylum has been postponed, due to my coworker's unforeseen family circumstances. We still may try to go the Sunday before Halloween..?

Part of me wants to just crawl RIGHT back into that warm bed and crash.
Must resist.

Yesterday was The Day of Sleep and Phone Calls, the temperature having dropped - in one day! - from the high 80s, all week, to the low 50s. Before The Sleep was the last Michael Scott episode of, The Office, and yes, I blubbered unabashedly. I sincerely hope that the horrible rumour I read about Steve Carell is not true - that he left the show due to Early Onset Alzheimer's.

Before all that, even, was work - it was totally surreal, watching William and Kate say their vows, while holding hands with dear little Sophie, who lay dying. Both beautiful events, in their own ways. Some day, we'll dance together, Sophie. ♥

During The Sleep were many strange dreams, including, a) getting my first period on the day of a school trip, apparently, and my mother forcing me to wear these short pink shorts that - to my utter horror - showed EVERYTHING, and, b) running a private boarding school with hierokeryx for gay kids that their parents didn't want, anymore. Bzuh.

Today is The Day of Running Around and Going Broke. This includes, a) banking, b) rent, c) picking up my car, d) getting said car's registration re-upped, e) Surprise! Last minute Bar-B-Que!

Yuck.

ETA: A fine example of How My Life Goes: As we were pulling back down the treacherous driveway-hill with my car (brakes still seem awfully 'soft') - I heard a loud, BANG! from behind me. My mother's car blew a radiator hose, JUST as we were pulling in. CanNOT even believe it. No end to this shit.

Why can't I just sit and watch The Office bloopers, all day?



Why?
