You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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

I really thought I was just being kind.

Sadly, that's not the point. If it's too stressful to be kind and receive asshattish responses, you have to be pickier about where that energy goes. It's almost superhuman to be able to just do and let it go, but for some recipients you have to protect yourself.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Neighbor called to ask if I would like her to bring me some breakfast in thanks for saving her the 50 dollar ticket, and to apologize for yelling.

Well that's good. People get pissy sometimes.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I just completed getting all my personal pictures off my work computer. I even found two pics of myself in a public file in the office shared directory and deleted those.

Now to look for any personal docs.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

How was your Christmas, Laura? Did your dudes come through for you with some gifties?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Happy Birthday, Theo! Happy Birthday, Jesse!

Allyson's story of her neighbor makes me very happy that my grumpiness doesn't really show in the am - I'm too incoherent. Otherwise I'd be owing a lot of people 50 dollar breakfasts.

thanks for all the baby pictures.

I'm not working today - but I am tomorrow. If I was working today, I'd be hoping that it was quiet.

Happy birthday, birthday peoples!

My parents are off retrieving the second of 2 oak bookcases that they bought from a store in Mesilla going out of business. (They'll be full up by the end of the week, if not the day, guaranteed.) Nah, we don't have a book problem, not at ALL.

Glad your neighbor came around, even if she was shitty at first, Allyson. Hopefully it was just a case of wake-up crankies. Not that I know anything about it (my parents get up at 5:30. FIVE THIRTY. So when I get up, they are all talkative, awake and crap. Even after 40 minutes of shower and sloooowly getting dressed, I don't wanna talk yet. I can't.)

I go to work tomorrow. Figure I'll just be sorting through a week's worth of mail. Monday, I work too, but everyone else is taking off. I may too and have a 4 day weekend. Depends on how crazy tomorrow is...
