I have a bunch of stuff I need to do today (somehow, "sleeping in" ended up being until 9:30...OMG). But I also woke up with a headache. Grr. Took painkiller. So far not working. Am trying to get up the energy to shower and get dressed and go get coffee, and see if that helps.
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

I have changed my linens, hung up a load of laundry, started another one, and spent an hour using a lint roller on my sofa to remove all the little bits of fluff from the red velour cloth I'd covered it with. That's enough productivity for one day, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just had a lovely morning with my mother -- shopping, a little walking, a nice lunch! And then I made her take the bus home (as opposed to the subway -- it really made more sense for where she was going). Good times. I wish I had a porch or similar, because I don't necessarily feel like being Out, but I'd love to be outside.

Because books.
It's actually hot here today. I may take the laptop outside and sit in the sun for a while. Vitamin D is good for burning out the sick, right?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Still doing laundry, including my sheets. Cleaned the sink and toilet, pulled some spoiled stuff from the fridge to go in the compost. Now eating spinach mushroom soup with pita chips and watching Modern Family.

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

Me too. My building has a roof deck, so I might go sit there.

I would be all over a roof deck!

Right.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'll tell you what, pinning up socks and underwear for two adults and two children in a 15 mph wind on a 30 degree day is an experience I'm glad never to have to repeat again. But I do miss sheets, pillowcases and towels dried on a line outdoors.
I have a tea to attend this afternoon. I forgot to pack my widebrimmed straw hats--the ones with the trailing ribbons?

It's not sunny here today. We're going up to Iowa this afternoon, so I need to fold clothes, wash sheets and make the bed, and grade some papers.
Oh, and download a movie or shows from iTunes to watch on the road.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's quite warm here today. Nice breeze, though.
Naked mole rats have two genes that act to inhibit cell growth. Humans only have one. The result: naked mole rats never get cancer.
Is there a drawback to having two of those genes? Any reason we shouldn't experiment on giving humans another one?
Oh, did I say "human" and "experiment" in the same sentence? Sorry. Well, I never actually did promise to use my powers only for good.
I have been trying to get a certain store to stop reporting my mother's credit card on my credit report for 10 years now.
Argh. I've been trying for nigh-on 15 years to get (a) a complete stranger's name off my credit report, and (b) to get a tax lien removed that was paid off in 1997 and still shows up "live". One company will take them off, and another drags its feet, and next time I look, it's back on all, apparently re-seeded from the one that didn't do anything about it. Is there an organization that goes to battle with credit reporting companies for the hapless consumer?
