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

Onerosity (slightly late): made telephone calls.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My onerous tasks are all work related. One down, but the next will take me until tomorrow to finish. Onerous Task Day drags on.

{{{{amyth}}}} I'm so sorry things are so shitty & hard & stressful lately. Lean on us as much as you need. (And I'm jealous of you & smonster getting to hang out tonight!)

My onerous task of the day was to send off my passport to get it renewed. Which, if I had thought to do it a month ago, might have meant we could still take our honeymoon in March as planned, but now I won't get it back in time to apply for the Brazilian tourist visa, so we're postponing the honeymoon until the summer. Which is like six months away! By the time we actually take our honeymoon, we will have been married for almost a year already. Ah well.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Bill paying isn't exactly onerous, but every now and then they get beyond me. So I have to catch up, which is onerous

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Fed government allowed workers to leave two hours early, and I took advantage of that to stay out of the storm. (It was raining when I left, and now it is snowing like mad)

Kate!!!! I miss you!

I'm so jealous that you're going to Brazil. So great!!!

I even set it up so that my rent is on autopay, by getting my bank to cut a check on the first of every month and mailing it to my landlords. It rocks.

As of yesterday, I'm paperless on all my bills. I may never get mail ever again.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Laundry is almost done. So that means soon I will have to do the final onerous task

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I seem to be having a crap couple of days, nothing like the kind of major stuff other people are dealing with, just the sort of stupid people are being stupid stuff. Except for the part where I was disconnected from the email server for most of the day today and didn't realize it until about 10 minutes ago. That was pretty much me being stupid.

I also feel like I'm seeing a lot of MRA type misogyny all over the place lately. Has something happened and we need to put the bitches back in their place?

I miss you too!! I need to make a plan to come to NC sometime this spring. Here, have some more hugs for good measure: {{{{{{{{amyth}}}}}}}}

We pay everything online, but not everything is autopay. Weirdly, for all that I am generally pretty lazy, paying bills on time has never been an issue for me, or at least not since my college days. I like paying bills because it's a quick and easy task to cross off my list. Though I may be singing a different tune when I get the bill for my surgery. I don't really want to know how much that's going to cost me.

What is this?
