Friday night. Taking a break at work while I wait on my pages to get the go-ahead. Coffee to prop up droopy eyelids, even though that’s ill-advised at 10:30 when I know I’ll be trying to sleep in two hours.

You are not moldy or old; you smell wonderful (usually — we’ll get to that in a minute) and you are still very young and sparkly and new. It’s…
Me: Call me “LT.” Siri: Okay. I’ll call you “lieutenant.” Okay? Me: Haha, no! Siri, bitchily: Fine.
