Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Punishingly Intricate

I swear to god, it was 3pm like five hours ago, and now it's only 3:32.

EXACTLY!!!

Back to bra talk for a moment, i just ordered two new sports bras. It was getting RIDIC the amount I had considering how often I need them. I had one "good" one that has a hinky closure. One actual good one that I can't use in yoga because of the way the underwires are designed (they come up the middle and dig into my throat when I'm doing plow or any other pose where I'm bending my head towards my chest). And then two bra built-in tops that I can't use for anything but yoga because they don't provide enough support.

I hope this has been a fascinating review for you all. It has helped me pass the time.

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

I have made it through the invoices and now I need to get in to see my boss to get sign off on them, but he is in with someone.

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

Liese, that is a destination house. You're done now. You have the house. Cool.

Having a relationship would be nice, but I'd never subject anyone to my crazy on that level

Yeah, that.

oh, I have a bra-related question. I ordered a bathing suit online. Due to unfortunate incidents that occurred while I was trying it on, I can't return it. It actually fits pretty well, except it has underwire cups that are situated wrong for my breasts - I am built far apart and the suit is built close together. What is the advisability of me attempting to surgically remove the underwires with a seam-ripper? It would still have a sort of shelf-bra-like elastic band below the bust, and I am not over-endowed so i don't really need the support. But it's not the sort of thing where I could put the wires back if taking them out made things worse...

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, I TOTALLY get that all the time. Breathing in recycled cleavage air is no fun.

Having a good relationship means that your own crazy meshes well or nicely balances the other person's crazy. Trust me, I speak from experience here.

The underwires are in a curved casing under the bust, right? Snip a tiny hole in one end of each casing (I would pick the ends close to the armpits, just because), and then push the underwires out of the holes.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Unreasonably high standards are only unreasonable to the point where they're making you more miserable than the alternative.

This is very important I think. I know many people for whom just being in a couple makes them happier than being alone and so that becomes a factor. That's just never been an issue for me.

Yet, I don't think I've ever left someone because I thought that I would be "settling" otherwise, or because I thought I could get someone "better." It's almost always been an issue of fundamental compatability or happiness.

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 stupid day will never end. So I'm going to cheat, and make it end. By leaving work early.

It's been a long week, and I'm all worn out....
