Punishingly Intricate

Ugh I have been dealing with a condescending mansplainer all day today voa email and it is filling me with rage while simultaneously making me cry.and suspect I am really kinda dumb.

And my sweetheart elderly nun great aunt fell and busted up her face last night. She is in the hospital and is conscious and coherent but really upset she won't be able to see my brothers family up from NC for easter. They only come up like 2x a year and last time she was at her neices place a few hours away recovering from a broken wrist! I feel so bad for her.

Sarameg, if you are really worried about stadium traffic think about going Caton Ave. or the beltway even.

Given it is rush hour, but on a holiday, figure it'll be like normal rush hour.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Lisa, you are not dumb! And your poor aunt! Your brother's family can't get to where she is? Anyway.

I am ridiculous. A coworker said he was leaving early today to go to church, and I said, "At least I had a tuna sandwich for lunch?" THAT'S RIGHT.

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

I am low on soy milk. I have to work out if I'm fit to drive today (seriously--I don't get how the pain is making me light-headed--that's kind of weird) because I'm not sure I can make it through the weekend.

The weekend on which I was supposed to do my taxes and have Colin over, neither of which are looking too great right now. Apartment is a ginormous mess.

Just for the record. Scott Walker - still evil.

Guess what state just repealed their Equal Pay Act?

That Korean patents are (oddly enough) published in Korean and not English.

How dare they!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

lisah, you are not dumb! Mansplaining dude is just a poopyhead.

Am planning to stop by a potential daycare after work to drop off a check to reserve a spot on the waiting list. Childcare is, um, kind of expensive. t gulp

Sweet buggering hell. I feel like that has to be a joke, but I know it's not.
