No guidelines.
I have therapy today and am only doing slightly better than Tuesday. Yesterday I was fine until we left for dinner at 4:45. I don't want to leave the house, like at all. Can you be an extrovert hermit? a social agoraphobe?
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
For me anyway, not leaving the house is a really easy pattern to get into, and it is Trouble.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm Not Leaving The House right now, AIFG! I have groceries, toilet paper, and cat food. No reason at all to get in the car and go anywhere.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, the hallway smell totally overwhelmed the coffee. I don't even. I guess I'll try with fresher grounds tomorrow.
Speaking of smelling, today's tea is oolong and ripe mango. And the mango? totally smells ripe.
Air cleaner is running. I hope it has effect.

Hello, everyone. Back after a 3 year hiatus and posting to short circuit the performance anxiety.
Totally relate to the extrovert hermit/social agoraphobe ... haven't left the house since Monday except to walk on the beach in the 30 mph wind yesterday. I was all by myself.
Nice to see so many familiar uh ... names.

Hello, Susan!
I almost died of boredom the other day, but I pulled through, and you can too!

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
Wow. I just picked up a manuscript to edit in which the author put a hard return at the end of EVERY LINE.
FOR 35 PAGES.
It wouldn't be horrible to fix on our end, except it's hard to know when a new paragraph begins, seeing as how the author also didn't bother to indent new paragraphs or even put an extra line in between paragraphs. So it's a monolithic block of flush-left text. FOR 35 PAGES.
I asked my boss to send it back to the author with a request to format it properly.
God DAMN.
Possibly the author was writing it from 1950, but I feel sure that, even then, they INDENTED THEIR PARAGRAPHS.
