The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I changed my mind. We should get you the golf outfit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sorry, Perkins. But you know, that's what you get.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It took me 2 hours to get home and I didn't even stop for sushi.

Is the snow fucking up traffc?

Yep. That should teach me. It won't, of course, but it should.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Oh! Allyson has my glasses. Mine are turtleshell, and Coach knockoff. And if you're partly far-sighted, they will magnify your eyes -- that's what farsightedness lenses do. My nearsightedness lenses (no gradations) make my tiny eyes look even tinier. (Luckily, the awesome glasses look so good, people don't notice the shrinky-lens issue.)

My binocular system is screwed up: my eyes don't work well together.

Same here. It just happens that my right eye totally dominates my cognitive sense of what I am seeing (unless that eye is closed). My right eye is stronger, but it's also astygmatic. I don't think there's any way to correct for my problem, except re-training how I see. Or gouging out my right eye, which, kind of drastic.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Is the snow fucking up traffc?

The snow isn't terrible but the timing sucked. It's probably difficult to have snowplows in the middle of rush hour traffic. Very slow going.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Allyson, those glasses are great and will undoubtedly look GREAT on your face.

should I go back to curl under rather than flip?

sarameg, I adore your hair. It's fierce. So no. don't go under. Unless you're tired of the flip (which have I said, I love?) then do what pleases you.

I went to my second yoga class today. Peter's class. It was good to go because I haven't been to his class in a month and I was feeling guilty. But at the end he said, "I thought I wouldn't see you anymore. You're totally at mixed level now and should be in those classes." Which was great to hear. It's fun to go to basics classes though because you get to concentrate on different aspects of poses and transitions (and be better than at least some people in the room... not that it's a competition or anything... but, you know....)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Well, the assumption there is that G*d's priorities and your priorites are the same thing. If you believe that there is a vast eternal creator and that the vast eternal creator decided to make knees we'd consider "wonky" you accept that G*d could have his reasons.

The Bible does say we were created in God's image. Maybe he's like this cranky Victor meldrew guy sitting there and giving orders like "Now give 'em wonky knees, 'cause that's how it happened to me!"

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I don't know what my glasses look like. I got new lenses in them and then forgot them at the eye store in the hustle and bustle to move. So, I called and they kindly sent my contacts & glasses to me via overnight. Except that DHL lost them. So now, the poor manager of the store is picking out a new set of frames for me to put new lenses in, and she's seen me like twice. I did tell her my preferences and what I look like, but I have no idea what they'll end up looking like. Good thing I never wear them outside the house.
