Y'all, this is gorgeous--just beautiful, lyrical prose with teeth. It should have one million kudos.
2. I got my first Christmas card that wasn't from my mommy today! It was frommisbegotten. Fiona is in love with the dragon who delivers mail from the forest animals to Santa. <3
3. Booster shot achieved! So far, my arm is mildly sore, and that's it. *crosses fingers*
4. Who took a modafinil and graded like a fiend today? This gal! There is still way more of it left than I would like, but I can see an end in sight. Wish me luck. I don't think there's a chance in hell that I'll actually finish tomorrow, but a girl can dream.
5. Over Thanksgiving break, my mom showed me how to boil eggs in the instant pot, and y'all I am a convert. I am now a card-carrying member of the Church of Instant Pot Boiled Eggs. I will never again boil eggs any other way. These were new eggs. NEW FREAKING EGGS. And they peeled up like Spike shucking his duster for Buffy. Every yolk perfectly centered and perfectly yellow. Mom said every single egg she puts in the instant pot comes out like that every single damn time. It is the Rapture, my friends! No more shall I abrade my thumbs upon the shells of eggs that break off a micrometer at time only to reveal a pockmarked and hideous surface that cannot be served to guests but only devoured in the pantry in secret shame. No more shall I suffer the horror of the lopsided egg or the yolk with the dreaded Ring of Ick. Oh frabjous day!
Seriously, it's pretty awesome.
