Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Oh hey, looks like I'll be doing a story time at an indie bookstore near JPL, soon!

Which is good. Because I have a ton of bat gift bags with bat goodies.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Congrats, Allyson!

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

Timelies all!

I need to pack for our trip to New Orleans this weekend. Not that it's all that complicated- jeans, t-shirts, underwear, socks and toiletries.(Some in the ever-popular quart bag as we are flying.)

I've come down with something that includes a fever and stomach cramps, so my onerous task today has been staying upright. I will try to call roofers to fix my roof tomorrow, though.

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

My onerous task was putting in a warranty claim for my stupid phone. It should have been enrolling for benefits.

Tomorrow.

Could be Norovirus.

My onerous tasks are work things. And I'm slogging through them.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I decided to only work a half day, which means I didn't do any of my work onerous tasks. It's cleaning person day too, which means someone else is doing my home onerous tasks.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm at swim lessons with the kids now. After this, derby practice. I haven't worked out a t all this week and I'm worried I'm going to barf during endurance drills.

Tomorrow is a day off. The apartment is a wreck, so I intend to get some serious cleaning done.

The problem is the vacuum. When Kristen and I consolidated belongings, we gave my vacuum to one of Kristen's coworkers.

But Kristen's vacuum hates me. I break the belt every time I use it. It ate a hat and a cat toy. I have no idea how it managed to eat a hat. I was using the extender tool thingy to clean the baseboards and suddenly it smelled like barbecue. I don't know how the hat fell off the bedpost, but the vacuum managed to suck it up. And then the horror.

I really loved that hat.

So now it needs another new belt after going after the cat toy.

I'm so irritated at this vacuum.
