A. literally dropped 5 ABC's (2 without any precedent) on my desk yesterday and left for two days (job fair). I like saying "You better leave town!"
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

It's so windy here in NY today. The building I'm in is making creaking noises as it sways back and forth.

Don't say J** F*** to me! That brings up BAD memories.
We have no ABCs! HAHa!
Tom, hold on tight.

I'm on the third floor, so thankfully I don't have to feel the building swaying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am glad I am as large as I am, because I bet little kids are being blown around like woah.
NYistas, the Times reports that Trader Joe's is opening at Union Square in 3 months. (I've never had a Trader Joe's. But people seem to love them).
Good times! Maybe that will cut down the lines at the Whole Foods, which are INSANE. Although I don't mind it as much as I might, since I'm always fascinated watching the traffic control people.

I think the bulk of the wind hit just after I got into the office. Sideways rain. It's calmed now. But I have a slight nosebleed. I don't think those things are related. I'm just being random.

Which means that there will be a Whole Foods, a Trader Joe's and a Farmer's Market all within several hundred feet of each other.

PMM's post from last night made me appreciate how much I enjoy the Buffista Parental-Types, who as a group enjoy and share their joy (and occasional travails) here, without letting Parenthood become the be-all and end-all of their personal identities.
Also, I'm damn mad on ita's behalf.
Me, I'm enjoying a rare morning where I don't feel like shite. Even if the wind is blowing a gale and it's supposed to monsoon again soon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for the ire, guys.
I'm calling in working from home today. My head still hurts, but the stuff from biofeedback seems to be controlling it in bursts. Can't drive and do all that, or really do it properly in the office.
Thing is, I'm not sure where my boss's last nerve is, and when all of this is going to cross it. Work is weird enough as it is, for reasons that have nothing to do with me.
I just feel like there are no answers wherein ita takes care of her mental, physical and professional selves at the same time.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice.
Now we just need a WF and a TJ's in downtown Brooklyn, and I'll be all set.
