If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Wordsac.

If that's not a Phillip J Frye quote, it ought to be.

Am back from walking. Have survived, but have now gone from huddled under mountains of blankets to sprawled in my underwear trying not to sweat to death. Fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

BTW, I didn't win MegaMillions AGAIN. WTF.

What's funny is, I was just telling a coworker yesterday about my theory that having the machine pick the numbers gives you a better chance of being the sole winner, because people pick mostly numbers under 31, because of dates. Sure enough, the winning numbers last night were all low, but only one person won!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I didn't win the lottery either. Sad.

So, today, I packed all my books, lots of the baby stuff, 75% of my clothes. This moving thing sucks.

And since we are moving and I refused to go to the grocery store, we're eating only what's in the house. That means for me, dinner was pancakes w/ strawberries and whipped cream. For K, it was pancakes with peanut butter and syrup. Both of us had some bacon.

But I think this plan is insustainable. As what's left is now ramen, frozen veggie corndogs, and uncooked pearl barley.

I recommend just enough chicken breasts to get you through the move.

That or takeout.

This is one of my favorite things! That people usually look at me cross-eyed for. ::high-fives K::

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Busy day at the bookstore today, and I've proved that this week is Klutz Week at B&N for me. After whacking my head on the bookshelf Thursday night (followed by dropping and shattering my cat's food dish that evening), I was unfolding a stepstool at the store this morning and managed to get my ring finger caught in a fold and cut the middle of my nail all the way down to the nail bed.

Grrr. Now I have to wait for it grow out before it looks anywhere near decent.

Kathy, don't make us break out the bubble wrap, because we will do it.

And, ouch. Sorry. Hope it grows back quickly.
