The Illusionist

Wow, I feel good today. The sun being out helps with that, but in
general that contented feeling from last night has carried over into
today.
Part of it is that I got my prescriptions refilled, so I'm back on the
full regimen. I'm more curious about whether that will help with the
physical endurance side. I will find out tonight, as I'm helping Sasha
move furniture. She's moving from a third-floor apartment.
Where she's moving to is a little more complex.

This morning, Becky (the receptionist/office manager) was talking about
the recycling bin, mentioning that it needs to be bigger. I told her we
should make it about six feet high so we could put people in it. Without
missing a beat, she said "Yeah. But let's just not tell them it's a
juicer". Oh, she's good.

VELVEETA FUDGE

Spray a 9 x 13 inch cake pan with PAM (imitation cooking spray)
Ingredients:
1/2 pound Velveeta
1/2 pound butter
1/2 Tbsp. vanilla
1 2lb. bag of powdered sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
Nuts, if desired
Melt Velveeta and butter on top of stove (preferrably in a pan. Velveeta
is shapely but it won't stay together when heat is applied). When
melting is done, pour in remaining ingredients and mix using a hand
mixer. Pour into pan and chill.

It kind of rubs off on you, and not in that
creepy-guy-in-the-back-of-the-bus way either. I'm talking about being
around happy people at work. I actually like what I'm doing. I can grump
about uncommented source code, but the reality is that I can deconvolve
it and understand what it does, and it's something I can do well.
It is still work, and I'd rather be playing outside today. I was just
out getting lunch from the truck, and it's beautiful.

Sucker for punishment, I am.
Advantage taken of, I can be.
Yoda sound like, I do not.
