Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And when a magically determined number of people have starred you, a gold star appears next to your name for five days.
OK, Denton....

I did a little bit of shopping and went for an accidentally long walk. I went by Trader Joe's, but hadn't thought at all about what to buy, so didn't. It is lovely out! Also I went to the taqueria around the corner for the first time, which was an excellent call.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I went to Old Navy to see some of the dresses they have on sale and ended up buying several of them on the theory that I can dress them up for work with jewelry and shoes. Plus they are cheap. Now I am at the half price sushi place to eat a lot of sushi.

I did my 5K in the rain, and now my soaking shoes are hopefully drying, and I'm trying to work up the energy to get something else done.

...notably, it is no longer pouring outside. Grr.

Things I should do: clean my room, do laundry, decide what clothes to give to Goodwill. Clean the kitchen. Sew a dress.

Things I am doing: clearing off the TiVo.

The status is NOT quo.

....And running a 5K in the rain!!! I think you've earned some down time. I'm ready for a nap, and I the most strenuous thing I've done today is get brunch.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I pay a literal stupidity tax almost every year because I forget to pay my property taxes. This year I remembered, and actually paid in advance. I need to set up calendar reminders.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

After running a 5k, I think you have the rest of the weekend off for recuperation. Me, I'm at work and voting, simultaneously. Oregon is so civilized.

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

a) Denton hates stars and thinks they ruin a community
b) These stars 1) don't exist and 2) confer no magical powers

Just so's you're up to date.

I didn't know that when the storms ran past zed they started on the Greek alphabet, instead of going back to A and starting again: [link] (and the speech in the typewriter font is actually quoted).

Oh, huh. I have no idea what goes on there.

Yeah, meara, I'm pretty sure a 5K is enough of an accomplishment!

I did clean the toilet and sink in my bathroom, which is something, if not technically "cleaning the bathroom."

I have long thought that NOAA hurricane staffers rival NASA Mars staffers for amusingness. Who says federal employees are boring?!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

You were cleaning IN the bathroom, which, frankly, IS cleaning the bathroom.

(Please, give me that justification for my own slackitude.)
