ETA: From Heiffer.org...they wouldn't be able to fit flocks of birds in their loft.
I'm enjoying my mental image of ita trying to herd a flock of geese into a church full of dressed-up wedding guests.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Okay, I should be going back to the conference, since I decamped and went to the coffeehouse a few buildings down. But I don't wanna.
Article about Elite Marathoner who trained all through her pregnancy and ran 12 days after birth. My lack of that level of dedication, moreso than my physical shortcomings, is why I'm mediocre at most things.

You see lack of dedication and shortcomings, I see wacko lady driven beyond good sense.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I would love to be as crazy as that lady, which is my problem.

THe only thing I'll ever be at an elite level at is laziness, and fortunately, you don't have to do anything to achieve that. In fact, the less you do the better.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I get the differnece between doing the hard thing because you want to and doing the hard thing because you have to. It's still doing the hard thing, either way.
Grace was all, "WTF? You want my LEGS to hold me? You CRAZY, lady."
What fantastic image!
I would also like to be as crazy as that lady. About something. I keep trying things hoping I will find the right trigger for such dedication. Maybe it will be painting my house, who knows?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm 100% fine with not being elite in anything. Much less anything athletic. I look at my CEO who is often in three different states over the course of a week, and I just know that I could never handle that kind of life, and I'm totally fine with that!
