Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I had a completely exhausting therapy session and all I want to do is crawl into bed. But I have another 5 hours of work. And lots of work to do. I'm just so unglued. How to reglue?

Can you go get a quick mani/pedi? A mini shopping trip to Walgreens or something? (I don't know why Walgreens shopping trips cheer me up, but they do.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Lunchtime therapy sounds almost impossible to me. I got nothing.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Is there anywhere/time to take a walk somewhere? I've usually found that walking somewhere natury and quiet helps me reglue.

ION, I love the way my back and shoulders feel the day after trapeze. It's like I've got the best posture ever. Everything totally lined up the way it should be.

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

Lunchtime therapy sounds almost impossible to me.

Yeah, I know. If it was good, good enough to shake something loose, I couldn't handle the office. My therapy is Saturday afternoons, before massage. That's about all I can handle.

I have to report that the popcorn with browned butter continues to be unearthly delicious. It's almost worrisome. But I'm plowing through so much butter! Four tablespoons each time!

Shoe stretching seems to have worked--I have the left feet in being stretched more, since with my history of edema I need extra work on that side, but they seem to have gotten both the patent and the brocade shoe much looser than I had managed in-house.

God, I want more popcorn. It's good unbuttered, but it's not crack.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Help! I have at least an hour left and no more internets that entertain.

Also, should I go home before Happy Hour and change (this will add at least an hour to my ETA) or just go straight there (which means I can leave earlier).

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

The following is a sample from the Federal Way police public information log:

At 4:02 p.m. April 10, two women went into the Federal Way police station claiming that over the past two years, a paranormal person has been placing sensors on their bodies and visiting them in their house at 28600 block of 25th Place South. They said that the ghost has been having sexual intercourse with them. One woman said that these incidents started in Kent and continued when she moved here. The other woman said that this just started now.

I need to revise my plans for the weekend.

Tonight: HH. Going to see Boys Named Sue with Kev who I miss and is never in town.
Tomorrow: Sister's wedding and birthday.
Sunday: Pass the fuck out.

Yeah, it's really the only time I have time to go.

Seriously looking forward to finishing up the kitchen and getting some planting done, tomorrow.

It helps reset my brain to do something creative.

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

OMG why won't today die?!!?!?!
