Oddly, a postal worker told me that illegible is better than wrong. If, for example, you put the wrong zipcode on something, they are obligated to send it to that zip code, even though they know damn well that Beverly Hills is 90210, if you put 92010, it goes to Carlsbad. If there is no zip code, just Beverly Hills, CA, then they look it up and send it to the right place.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That sucks, Vortex.
So does the fact that it's only 3:30.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now I'm sore tempted to leave out city and state from now on. I mean, my Zip's always legible, so the rest is redundant.

My daughter is having a swim day at daycare. I am torn between wanting to stay in my office and get work done and wanting to skip over to daycare and watch the toddlers playing in the wading pool. I think for her sake I'll stay here a bit longer. She has plenty of chances to play with me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I do wonder why we still put all the info -- I figured for backup, but not if they have to deliver to the zip even if it's wrong.
I am hungry for dinner but have little to no interest in any particular food. Bah.

I do that on return addresses sometimes.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I am sitting here waiting for an after-work event and COMPLETELY incapable of working.

libkitty, I totally used to be funnier. Wait, no, that's not what I meant (so shut up if you agree). But I think sampling would indicate not so with any sort of witty when the pain is on.
See, this is what I meant. Here you are with a migraine, and still witty. Me? NSM.
Fortunately, I only have a sort of migraine. I'm sure you know what I mean. It only hurts in twinges and there isn't really an aura, but your eyes feel like they're looking crosseyed and you feel like the pain could pound at any moment.
