Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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

Geez 'Suela.

The universe probably isn't trying to tell you anything in particular except "universal" truths you already knew.

Damn though.

Sounds like you need a vacation for all kinds of reasons. Can you just say "fuck it" for a weekend?

Well, I'm going to Chicago the weekend after Labor Day to see Springsteen and hang with my big brother & SIL. That's about as "fuck it" as I can get...

But I have calls to make this week, oh yes. Onerous ones.

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

Oh, Consuela. That is a litany of fuckeries.

I woke up this morning without a proper headache, and was so thrown by it that I went back to bed.

Seriously. I emailed that I'd be in late, and grabbed an hour more of sleep. I have a 10AM meeting, and I'll drive in after that, but even though I break the cycle on a Sunday, I'm not aiming for a 1 on the pain scale (is there a zero?), I'll settle for a 5.

I'm trying not to be panicky and desperate about this, because self-sabotage. So I hydrated, emailed, and took a little bit more care of myself.

Now it's time to get back on the horse of life. Really slowly.

Punishingly Intricate

Argh cant brane today and am having to write super last minute requirements. Grr. Can I get help??

How would I express a dollar amount that needed to be rounded and displayed like this $72.5 million (for example but will always be milliions).

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

ita, didn't they inadvertantly give you an extra dose this weekend? If you could get that without the fuckwittery that preceeded it, that would be a nice(r) state of affairs.

Have we heard from Laura? Is she in the middle of all this wind and rain?

I NEED MY PEOPLE TO BE SAFE!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Laura posted on FB. She is fine.
