I left the house at 8:30 this morning. I got home at 5...

Market, pedicure, haircut, swim, target, trader joe's. Home. Laundrating.

I went to the pool in Ellicott City (very nice, they have 2 pools; the therapy pool is warmer and has the lift, but the main pool is an awesome cool temp.) They have digital timers which are easier to read through foggy goggles, which meant I could track my lap times & I learned something interesting: on long swims, I pretty much speed up, not slow down. Now, part of that might be me racing the clock unconsciously, but... Dropped the first minute after lap 26 (57.6sec,) the second after 46 (57sec), the third after 63 (56.4 eta to fix math) and the last 9 averaged 55seconds even. Huh.

Pool was cool, and I do swim faster, and there was the clock, but those were not the results I was expecting.

Now I need to do my manicure.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Also, archive of our own... I'm embarrassed to admit that Keith/ Rachel is a favorite. It's kind of...wrong. But, you know, tender angst. And quipping.

OMG! I have GOT to read this!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I am clean and clothed. I realized that the last time emergency responders came to my door it was the police and I was in my pajamas. I feel like such a cliché.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Again, the vital question is, were the firefighters hot? The internet needs to know.

Also, it turns out today instead of Do All The Things, it is Have All The Good Intentions day. Fail. And it's not even evening yet. I have gotten through a good chunk of Game of Thrones, though.

I don't even know what I'd do if I were to stop having good intentions and do stuff. Go up in the attic? Weed? Dishes? Receipts? I just don't know. Thus the ennui. But summer is upon us, I really don't have time for days like this.

I wish I could say I was paying attention to that, but really as I was answering the door I was thinking of how to keep them from dragging me out of the building without my cats. I can report that they were tall. And intense. Beyond that my memory fails.

Yay Seska!

ita, I hope you get some relief.

Zappos, why so difficult?!!

There's a pair of boots I want, and the color I want seems a little rare. So I set one of those alerts, so if they get those boots in that color in my size, they send me an email.

Twice now, I've gotten the email, clicked on the link, and discovered that the boots in that color in my size had sold out already. BAH. This is the hazard of having very medium-size feet, I guess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats, Seska!

So, I'm watching Private Practice (still!) and two things: 1. I'm glad to see the show be more pro-choice than I feel like it has been. Although I have to say, I'm generally glad to see a show talk about abortion so much. and then 2. why the eff hasn't Addison taken Betsy?? Come on.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

From upthread:

emotional incontinence

What is this?

I concur with above sentiment that Mockingjay is some of the darkest shit I have read in a long time. The film is going to be BRUTAL.
