Linked on a board that I don't really read. You know how it is.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have heard of that sort of thing in the past.
I dropped my character shoes off the be resoled with more durable soles, and the store had some lovely steel-toed Caterpillar boots for sale. But I already have boots that look like them, but without the steel toes. Plus what I really "need" (for first world values of need) is to replace my three hole Docs with ones a size smaller. I have two pair that need replacing, and according to Zappos they are pretty pricey themselves.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Bless BBCA and its lovely marathon rerunning.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Federal taxes are done, and I am getting a hell of a lot more back than I thought I would.
Being unemployed for an entire month, then paying a lot to move 650 miles to a lower paying job has its advantages, I guess.

Good LORD. I just got an email from a friend who's thinking about having her birthday party in Red Hook, Brooklyn. I love her, but I can't go there. It's over an hour on the subway for me, and THEN a bus. Fuggedaboudit.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I can't decide if this was real or an April Fool's production, but it's funny -- in a "They're trying for a Darwin Award" sort of way.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Those are exactly the boots I need, ita.

Speaking of state taxes:
Kathy, I NEVER get a refund from the State of Illinois. Someday I hope to break even, but I usually get pretty close. I'll, most likely, have to write a check to the State for some smallish amount.
I just paid them the smallest amount possible--$1. It was a pain having to fill out the checking account info just to have them do automatic withdrawal for one measly buck, but that's the way the withholding panned out this year. At least the federal refund will be nice (and all going toward my move this month).
