I shred, but I have a shredder in my office, so it's fairly convenient. They often have a fair bit of info on them, and I'd be a bit worried about identity theft if I put them in the recycling. Especially as we have open bins that sit out by the road overnight for the recycling truck that comes at gawd awful am.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I shred all my bills, with a crap-ass $15 shredder.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I shred everything.
Man. We got in town yesterday, I crashed out about 10 and woke up at 11 the next morning. So that means I've been up for about two hours, during which time I showered, hung out on the internets, and ate macaroni and cheese my mother-in-law made me. And yet? So tired. I would like to go back to sleep nao thankyew. This afternoon I've got to shoot video for our non-attending VBS, and tomorrow the SO preaches, scary. And we have minimal time together with the family, let alone all the extended friends. But seriously, all I want to do is sleep.

Sometimes you need the rest, Liese.
I realize my current desire to nap is from the bloody mary I had at brunch, so I'm kind of just waiting it out. It is LOVELY here, so I need to get out of the house, at least to do errands.

Oh yeah! Happy birthday, Dana!!

I went to a couple yard sales, one of which advertised a patio umbrella for sale, but it was too small for my purpose. However, I found a lovely old-fashioned eggbeater, the kind with a crank! Getting out the electric and finding the paddles is such a bother. This can nicely be to hand when I want to mix something. For $3, such a bargain!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy birthday, Dana!
I have to onerous-task myself today -- I semi-promised my mom I'd do a semi-regular Suela-esque linkspammy/blogrolly entry on her blog of Random Stuff I've Stumbled On And Loved This Week, and I really need to force myself back into the habit of writing something for God's sake on a vaguely regular basis, so I've tasked myself with doing it today.
Specifically, today before 3:00, because my old parish (the formerly leftie Yippie sign-waving protest-marching getting-arrested-for-rabblerousing one that went down the Opus Dei sewer last year) is in the middle of a meltdown that stinks of Orders From Above, and the surviving parishioners are holding an emergency meeting this afternoon and begging ex-members to come be part of it.
I don't actively hate the current bishop and pastor, because I try not to actively hate anyone if I can avoid it, but there's no way I can stop myself wishing them ill. In abundance.

Happy birthday, Dana!
I went to the farmers market this morning. Got some tomatoes, spinach, sorrel, kale, and garlic scapes. Also got a veggie burger and a strawberry cupcake at the food truck. I'd been planning on a bike ride this afternoon, but it's raining, so I'm staying in.

Are you going, then, JZ? That sounds stressful, but you know what you need to do.
Are you sure? You are a much more gracious and compassionate person than I...which upon reflection, didn't even need stating! You are, for certain! That's something I admire about you.
It just seems very fraught.
I've gotten a lot of writing and other stuff done today, but need to get some more. I waited too long to do outside work; it'll be in the 90's and muggy as hell. It's supposed to be nicer...and I'm still adjusting to the whole "Hey, I don't need to accomplish EVERYTHING in 2 days!" idea.
