Has anyone else noticed that the world seems to have conflated "wary" and "leery" and is using "weary" when they mean wary and/or leery?
Haven't seen this.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

What has happened to the English language?? I grow weary.
Yeah it's getting bad out there, before you know it people will start using the wrong words for things like "Jumper" instead of "Sweater", or "Chips" instead of "French Fries", and mispronouncing words like "schedule".

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I blame Otis Redding.
Ok, I was aware of this one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Today is really not the fucking day to pull shit on me. I'm so very close to snapping.
And the locksmith calling freaked me out because he sounds exactly like my mechanic and I couldn't figure out why he'd be calling me.

The Dr. Who writers in particular are really bad with that stuff.

have a box with all the things you'll need for the first day or two: sheets, towels, soap, toilet paper, a light bulb or two, possibly paper plates/plastic flatware. Brightly colored tape or some kind of markings are helpful to make sure you can spot it when you're at the new place.
I put this box in my car so not to mix it up with the other zillion boxes going in the moving truck.

Kat, have you ever tried Kundalini yoga? They switched instructors around at my place and I gave it a shot. I guess I'm just not a chanter.

I'm very very manic right now. I just told my realtor I am a basket case and apparently my voice is shaking. Great.
Oh, and one of my good acquaintances here has no idea I'm buying a house. I just kept not running into her and not and not and so I finally sent her an email asking if she wanted to take a field trip friday afternoon. Hehehehe.
