It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sara - I hate to be the one who says it, but maybe you are thinking too much about it. Could you NOT time yourself for a couple of nights and just try to zen swim?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
So, okay, sticking with plan 1.2, which is taking my day off, dealing with my shit, and no one needs to know. (1.1 was crafting another lie about needing the morning off, I was gonna go with waiting on the plumber to fix my water heater).
Incidentally, I was leaving 7-11 today and the cop parked next to me as I was backing out was the dude who pulled me over. Awk-ward! Hullo, witness to my embarassment! (I have to say, he was very nice about it all, staying completely impersonal and not casting any judgment and just sticking to the rulebook).

I used to go fast! My best was 2 miles at a 55/50 pace. I used to ring in an average of 57s. And now I'm over a minute. It's stupid. I'm just slow.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Okay, taxes filed.
Someone reassure me that I'm not a failure because the house isn't completely packed and all of the things on the to-do list aren't done yet? Even though I took a nap today instead of spending that hour packing.

You are completely not a failure, and the nap was probably restorative, right? So all the better for having been taken.
I had to look up fartlek.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So not a failure. Packing and moving is a marathon, not a sprint, taking a nap is perfectly fine.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Most definitely NOT a failure, Dana. You filed your taxes already! That counts as early in my book.
He fell in love mostly, most of all, with Clawdeen from Monster High.
Well who wouldn't?
Barbies must be the dolls one plays with when one plays dating. I notice that dress-up games aren't pretend dating, they are pretend pirates, or hobbits, or elves, or wizards.
I know those orange chairs well, ita.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Much better to nap than what I usually do, which is spend that hour FREAKING OUT about how I'm NOT PACKING.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My entire family has chimed in to say my head was bigger at age 13, but most hysterically my father mas minutely explained that's not how I wore my hair. Of all the people to dwell on that detail...but he's right. I wasn't one for mirrors and I wasn't combing my own hair, but when I think of lying down, he's right about there the plaits were. Am totally amused.
I just watched yet another movie where someone takes the place of another person totally because they look identical. Although we most often are cheering the usurper on (this was Source Code) doesn't that premise say very little for individuality? Never mind how hard it will be to know what my routine is, and passwords are, etc, is the premise that you just get entirely new friends? I think it would be hysterical to see what pieces of my life my doppleganger tried to reconstitute.
