I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

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

Except for ita's, people's weekends sound fun. Yay.

That's what I was thinking. But first, I must make progress on organizing and clearing out that room. I made some headway over the summer, and then entropy happened again.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Entropy is a bitch, I tell you. I can't keep her outta my house.

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

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Friday-Happy Hour, Saturday-Dinner with Mr. Jane and then the video D.J. Sunday-Football at the bar.

I will be so happy to leave here in 13 minutes and counting.

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

Friday, dinner with M (a rarity), then sleeping. Saturday is well-documented. Sunday, FOOTBALL!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Friday: Got Matilda from daycare, dropped her off with Hec, came back to work to try to pad out my last paycheck with some overtime.

Saturday: Treats and fun thanks to the beneficence of the lovely and talented Lee, including but not limited to: a manicure, a glass of prosecco, a TJ brand oreo, toasting the happy yay! news of K-Bug getting her first college acceptance letter, Thai food, sweet smelling and sweet tasting treats with juliana and Suzy, and Matilda perusing her first wine list (she failed to come to a decision, though, so none was ordered).

Sunday: Church, followed by Jack London Square with Emmett and Matilda and my parents. Matilda boggled at a 2-story Christmas tree and whispered, "oooooooh" into Emmett's shoulder. We met an old woman who thought Matilda was the best name in the world until she met Emmett -- her husband had been named Emmett, named after the same Irish patriot as our Emmett. I think meeting Emmett made her week.

Helped Emmett get presents for both his parents -- very nice ones, and if Hec doesn't actually like his present from Emmett more than his present from me, I will have to doubt his taste somewhat.

Today: At work, feel unmotivated and cranky, really tired of the post-baby hormonal reset that has given me a 28-day cycle instead of the 40 days I was perfectly content with previously, office air so dry my sinuses are hardening into jerky.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I feel like my weekend disappeared into the aether. I can't remember what I did. The SO was gone for part of it as he had a jazz gig in NM back with his old group. I rented a car, partially for free, and they gave me a PT Cruiser, so I tooled around in that some. Got firewood, taught lessons, got the propane hooked up, taught more lessons. Went to a new church then watched a bunch of football (go Colts).

Today we tried to do our normal location but got stymied by the weather. We'll try again on Wednesday, but that means that I have only the half day today to take care of admin stuff. So I'd better get after it.

Oh, and spent a lot of money--ordered the tile. The insulation is done, the drywall is up, the tape & texture guys are in now. Next Wednesday we'll paint trim & walls. The following Thursday, the work team will come in to do the tile.
