In the meantime, I've done my best to avoid reading too much (or seeing pictures) of the exotic animals killed in Ohio. Sometimes cruelty to animals hits me harder.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
JFC, I'm 99% sure my coworker on maternity leave told our boss today that she's not coming back. We are so screwed. I feel really bad for my new boss. One person left right before she started (she had been looking for a while) and another one gave notice on Monday (his wife got a fancy job elsewhere). Fuuuuuuck.

Theo,
I couldn't believe I saw those pictures without warning also! I also did not want to see all those dead animals. Come ON. We need media warnings.

Yikes, Jesse. That's rough.
Okay, y'all, talk me down. We're throwing this show tomorrow, and I have hit the point of OMG we're not promoters why the hell did I think we could pull this off?
Tell me to just make the lists in evernote, load the station wagon, and that I have gaffer's tape so it will all be okay. I mean, I can build a plane from it if I need to.

Liese,
make the lists in evernote, load the station wagon, and you have gaffer's tape.
It will all be okay.
Really.

You can do it, Liese! Make the list! Load the wagon! Go go go! It will be fine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Evernote is the bomb! It makes everything feel better. Go Evernote, enter Evernote.
Also gaffer (typed fagger, oops) and stuff.

Okay. Meep!
The band is high strung, so I have to get all the panicky out of my system now so I can be preternaturally calm when they arrive tomorrow. Part of it is that I can't set the venue until late tonight because it's in use. So I have all the "can't do nothin" energy rolling right now. I sold tickets! I printed signs! I reworked the lighting! I coordinated volunteers! I hauled gear! NOW WHAT?
Right. Make lists. Load. Gaffers tape.

What a mess, Jesse.
A friend's band has a 9:30 show tonight. I'm tired. I'm old. I'll get together the energy by then, but right now, I don't wanna.
Make lists. Load. Gaffers tape.
Pain killers.
