Catching up on my NPR podcasts this morning, and 2/17 was the start of the Wisconsin protests, which feel like they've been going on for a few months now, not weeks!
FTR, I think this is a watershed moment in American politics and culture.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am awake and twitchy and I don't like it.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
oh, ita, I'm sorry.
Perkins 5:26 is earlier than I am awake! Yike!
I'm feeling sort of bleh this AM. Partly because I was up in the middle of the night.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm up and heading out the door in a moment to meet up with Deb G and assist in proctoring the MPREs in a drafty South Bay warehouse. Meanwhile, Hec has promised Matilda a yummy breakfast and the coolest movie in the world, but he won't tell me what it is (he couldn't anyway, as they're both asleep). Tonight, juliana's play (so ridiculously excited). Tomorrow, church and laundry. I haven't decided yet how to answer my dad about taking him to the airport tomorrow morning at quarter to nine, but all trends point to Sorry, but no (except the He lets us use his washer/dryer and lent us money we haven't paid back yet trend, which is giving the other trends a don't-be-an-asshole stinkeye).
Sounds like an excellent evening, Kathy! Boo on bad nights for ita and Kat, and boo on everyone contemplating dairy reduction.

Because books.
I'm awake and researching fish oil capsules. Not as exciting as it sounds, and I'm sure it doesn't sound exciting in the first place.
It's very strange to wake up to no Sara, which also means no Nickelodeon.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
the coolest movie in the world, but he won't tell me what it is
I want to know too!
Oy, this week has gone on for-fucking-ever. I'm so exhausted from the not-sleeping baby that I'm actually looking forward the birthday party I'm taking Dylan to as relaxing. I won't have to change any diapers or rock anyone to sleep! For about three hours!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Last night was the monthly open sing. Today I'll run a few errands, and that's all I need to do for the weekend.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
This weekend I have work work, and fundraiser work, and volunteer work. But tonight I will by golly watch the Tar Heels crush the Blue Devils, and then go to someone else's Mardi Gras fundraiser.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We're taking the kids to see a children's theatre production of Peter Pan tonight. Then I have practice tomorrow. I should probably go to the grocery store sometime this weekend so we don't starve to death.

This weekend is Mardi Gras. Let the awesome chaos reign. (So surprised to learn that I am loving Mardi Gras like whoa!)
