I just don't want to deal at all.

Loki just eagerly ate some filling from a spinach empanada. And went back for more. Weirdo.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm hoping to get a few more years out of the car(It's 13 years old) since I don't relish the idea of car shopping. Previous time I ended up with a deal that probably wasn't the best, but I was under time restriction.(My old car had been totalled, and the insurance company only covered the rental for a specific amount of time.) At least I won't be doing it alone this time.

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

There's a french fry place in my nearest mall, and I was prepared to worship at their feet, but they serve stuff in sizes called Jumbo, Mega, and Giga. And the "can I increase your order to a Mega for just a dollar more???" standard sales tack is just irritating. They're not the only place that sells fries in the mall (by a long shot) but they do have the best real estate. I think I will fry elsewhere.

Fast food hard sells? For a dollar? Seriously, no. "Anything else with that?" or "something to drink?" doesn't bother me, but for some reason upsizing does.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Crisis! I was going to get a pedicure today, but the nail tech is sick. And the other place I have a Groupon for is booked solid today. Do I get a full-price pedicure somewhere else? Or just keep wearing the closed-toe shoes until I can get in the original place (Wednesday). It's supposed to be hot tomorrow! (I cannot deal with my own toenails.)

Lee, I think on the 13th we should definitely have time to see people.

Punishingly Intricate

I got my current car at carmax. It was pretty hassle free.

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

I brought in an ad I'd found with a price I was willing to pay and just bought that. They were gentle with the add-on services, and were patient with me juggling payment methods to do the best for my credit history and rewards points.

I just sorted through my fanart to find out how much I could file under Cuddles + Hugs and now I have a folder 35 deep with all sorts of huggery.

I wondered if there's a thing I do, a well I keep going back to, and it's clearly people holding people.

Tangentially, one of the best things about fanart is the possibility of feedback from people whose work you adore. When one (or more) says they like my style, I have feels I haven't even processed yet. A year ago, I didn't have a style per se (sorry for keeping asking, Amy...) but now I think I do and it's a much better feeling. And I can tell from the comments too--people compliment not just the picture, but the style of the picture.

So many feels and flails and questions I just cannot process. I wouldn't even know where to start.

So I dealt with it all in a timely and useful manner and napped on the couch with the cats. But the upstairs is clean now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So we just had Max's confirmation. (Max is my oldest son.) now I'm waiting for my sister's gf to finish cleaning up from the church dinner, while Mason (my youngest son) reads the Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover comic on my iPad. It doesn't seem that long ago when I was here for Max's baptism.
