Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Coding and Sleeping

I saw Avatar (the blue people version) this weekend or most of it anyway. I enjoyed it but I was watching it with my BiL who thought it was about the stupidest thing he'd ever seen and laughed at stuff. I think I'll watch it again so I can see the whole thing and be able to actually enjoy it.

Ugh, my car needs repairs and it may go up to $2000 dollars. I can't remember the last time it broke down. It's 16 years old, but I'm thinking the money is worth it if it lasts for another 4 or 5 years and I think it can.

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

They made me an iced latte instead of a hot latte at the Bean this morning. "It's just the same, but cold!" proffered the barista.

Uh, der? Gimme what I ordered. Weirdo. Entirely a huge difference, and I want what I want.

I'm looking at my timesheet for last week Sunday-Saturday, and I just don't know how to reflect monitoring my email for 12 hours.

Yesterday is almost easier, because I got up and left poolside to sit down inside and make calls and send emails. But Saturday I was just frozen in front of the laptop all day.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Happy birthday SA!

smonster, I slept right through the alarm this morning! Sorry! Even the cats didn't wake me up; I must have scared them off with my snoring.

Sophia, I second bon's rec of Body Glide; it's okay to put on over a rash, even. If you can't get that, maybe use Vaseline if you're not sensitive to it. And of course, put the softest cotton you can find next to your skin.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Birthday happiness, SA!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy SA day!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Happy Birthday SA!

The nurses at work suggested I rub down the rash with rubbing alcohol, and then apply powder, and I have been itch free for 4 hours! Yay?!

Sophia, that's what my mother used to do. She had really severe eczema and was always combating rashes. It's simple, but it works.

Happy Birthday, SA!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Happy birthday to SA!

No worries!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, SA!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Thank you, everyone, for the birthday wishes. :) They, and you all, are lovely. It's Darth's birthday too, even though he hasn't been around for a long while!
