Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Jimmy James! How cool.

Today I've done some gardening and started laundry. Sunday dinner (baked herbed chicken, steamed asparagus, roasted garlic baby potatoes) is cooking. I need to run the vacuum and turn the leftover chicken into soup for this week's lunches. Otherwise the day's pretty open. I foresee a fair bit of sitting on the porch with a book and a drink in my future. .

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

That is awesome, Scrappy.

Lee is really organized. I can kind of imagine that might be how it would go down.

Hee.

By the way, my current working theory is that Fella is going to become Bagel, pronounced the Britta way.

I put down the landscaping rocks and rumble stones, and they look decent enough that I think I may end up at home depot before work again (did you know they open at 6:00 a.m.) to buy more.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

What's a rumble stone?

In this case, it's a cement looking slab I am using for stepping stones.

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

Has anyone heard of Femen (nekkid boobies)? They fight injustice against women by topless picketing, including, say, mosques attended by women in burqas who didn't asked to be saved by good-meaning-liberal-leaning perky tits?

Speaking of burqas, I was just reading this [link] article about a non-Muslim woman wearing a burqa for a day, and the thing I'm most sure of is that we wouldn't get along. Maybe it felt good to roll around in extra privilege for a day?

Nurse's "between ten and eleven" is kinda not. And she doesn't seem to think telling me she's on her way is something she needs to do on her own initiative. She called back after my text fifteen minutes later while I was trying to see what the pharmacy number was to call them and ask WTF.

She's going to "reorganise some things". Yeah, sure.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Is she still not there? That's no good.

Beans turned out pretty good, although on the salty side. Not bad for cleaning out the fridge.

She was fifteen minutes away before I made the 11:57 post. I have had time to finish a new drawing, though. So that's nice.

Oh! I think that's her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is she reliably late enough for you to plan for her between 11 and 12? That might help the mindgames, at least?

Once she came at 10:30. So, I can't sleep in, except when I might as well have. Can't really run errands, don't know when not to get started with things I don't want to interrupt. She acts like timely isn't in her job description. Then don't arrange times!
