Today has involved too much time around my children. Anyone want two kids, almost housebroken?
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That idiotic "sex and alcohol make people happier than kids and religion" survey is making the social media rounds again, and I just can't. (Also, as an atheist who is currently drinking wine while somebody else puts the kids to bed...I don't really have a leg to stand on in this argument, do I?)

Whatever makes you happy, Jess!
Currently, Loki is making me happy by purring and kneading my thigh. And now the Pumpk has joined us! Don't judge me!

Frankenbuddha, I hope your day has improved.
Not so much, but I'd forgotten to mention that my hot water has been out for two days, and still is at this point. I know that's a total "Landlord Must-do", but my landlord is barely making his mortgage (and lives above me) so pushing the issue is going to be very, very difficult. I think the hot water heater is dead, or at least needs new elements, but trying to force the issue legally is going to be trying to get blood from a stone.
So, yes, I've taken cold showers for the last two days. They do beat coffee in the wake-up department, but OMG!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, good lord, Frank, that goes a bit beyond duck nibbling!
That idiotic "sex and alcohol make people happier than kids and religion" survey
I have no idea what you are talking about, but out of those alcohol and religion are the things I have, and they kinda go together.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As do sex and kids!

Exactly!

Don't you think the real issue is how much of your time every day is spent devoted to each item, and in what capacity? Like sex, even if you're having it every day, tends to be a low time commitment: high reward kind of activity. Whereas raising kids? Not actually a singular activity, hence significant time commitment: varying levels of reward. Religion I'm gonna say more like the kids things. And alcohol? Low time commitment: low reward.
Clearly I am over thinking this, as Jessica's initial reaction is the right one. The comparison is lame.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm sorry your staycation is over, Lee, but now you have the whole weekend ahead of you!
Just the expectation of cherries and strawberries makes me happy!

Lawyer never got my retainer fee, his office assistant dropped communications with me, he never sent out the letter to the court delaying my hearing, so now I have to post bail, which I can't do until Monday, and I can't drive until I post bail, by which time the lawyer may have straightened out the arrest warrant. Thank goodness I don't work this Monday. I wish I didn't have tomorrow.
