Dear FedEx,
I hate you.
What? Where are your damn shoes?
Right. Sir. Honey.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The FedEx driver is refusing to deliver them to my building without someone present to accept delivery, for "security reasons."
I am writing a note. If he doesn't deliver them tomorrow, they go to Skokie, and from Skokie, back to Zappos. Because it's not like I can get out to fucking Skokie easily, Jesus Christ.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Right now I would marry someone if it meant they'd be around to take care of me when I really needed it (with the understanding I'd do that for them in a heartbeat when able) and a host of other things...that pretty much mean that we'd have to be in a whole damned lot of like with each other and it wouldn't be settling in the end.
What is the problem with going home to an empty house? How can that be fixed with a legally binding contract? That's what it boils down to.
My god, all I can think of is popcorn!
Best Buy, Circuit City, etc, say that they charge a restocking fee unless prohibited by law. Where are they prohibited by law?

Honestly, most of the principal needs she talks about in settling for a husband could be fulfilled by taking in a roommate that's cool with babysitting from time to time.
Though of course that wouldn't provide societal validation and, most importantly, tangible evidence that there's someone out there willing to settle for her...

Aha! But men aren't settling, she says. What they seem to want is this sort of basically disinterested woman who can't afford to be picky. That's their dream.

Frankly, I'm pretty good company.
You really are.

Sure, but Kate & Allie isn't going to shut up her Mom.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
We just had a going away party for the HR person here.
There was a BBQ sauce fountain.
It was weird.

I'm probably going to read the stupid article at some point, because I'm a masochist that way, but it sounds unbelievably offensive. I can't even begin to imagine what this woman would say about my relationship -- with a woman who is basically slowly dying, and thanks to her disease, is unlikely to ever bear children.
Actually, I can imagine, and I'm glad she can't give me her opinion in person, because I don't want to go to jail for murder.

Because books.
I'm surer than ever that I need to not read that article. Must think of my blood pressure, after all.

Um. Wow.
