OK, so I'm watering my and my neighbor's plants first. I wish I had a hose out there. Bucket 5 now...
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

Punishingly Intricate
I'm making too much food to bring to the Balt Symphony Orchestra concert at a park in the County. It's the first time we are using our awesome picnic backpack friends gave us as a wedding gift. It's got tiny salt & pepper shakers!!
I'm making bacony potato salad, deviled eggs, watermelon feta mint salad, tomato/mozzarella on sticks, maybe some watermelon & strawberries on sticks, cherries. And other people are bringing food too.
Also, we are bringing the board game Class Struggle to pass the time.
And lots of sunscreen!

So at 10:30 this morning the power went out at work. We were all evacuated from the building, (some weird rule) and then sat around with hourly updates until about an hour ago when we were sent home! Free day! We're on the same grid as the children's hospital across the street, so this never happens. The hospital has back up generators at least, we do not.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I could be working, but I refuse. We're officially closed and I have made myself a solemn promise not to work when the office is closed! (I am a workaholic. I will complain fiercely about how much I have to work (legitimately) but then I sit down and I find myself with the laptop, working, and then it's midnight. I have to stop working so much.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not taking my laptop out of its bag today. That still leaves me with work email on my tablet and phone, but it's a start.
Hey--if you're in need of a break, take a booty break (audio, undies ahoy).
Okay, let me work out breakfast. There really needs to be tea, ASAP.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I took a two hour-nap. I feel much better now.

Holy cow, rain delay at a screamingly crucial moment in Andy Murray's match.
Thank god Wills and Kate left before the rain.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I took a booty break. My favorite (in motion) was the guy with the orange t-shirt and fleur de lis on his jeans. So many of them couldn't dance!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Short break to take an ibu for my arm. I am busting pages! I have till 5 and then I am going to the BBQ. WHERE I WILL DRINK ALL THE SANGRIA.
AIFG! (which is, yes, "And it's fucking GREAT!"

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Yeah, I do get offended when people tell me they could never be attracted to a disabled person, because a few on OKC went on about how gross they find the thought, or conversely, that they are using the thought of dating me to prove their bravery, or openness or lack of superficiality. Nobody needs that. But it isn't that I think I'm so gorgeous. If people are going places and hearing "Transwomen...yuck," a lot I feel bad, but desire is both simple and complicated.
