Because books.

I was going to say get blotto and call in sick tomorrow, and go to a movie and get a massage.

But your plan sounds good, too!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Or go see Wreck It Ralph and THEN get blotto.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

IME, blotto just makes tomorrow harder. One cocktail can make tonight better.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Data are organized

It looks wrong because this sentence can't make up its mind as to whether data is a plural or a mass noun.

Mass noun: Water is organized.

Plural: The pencils are organized.

It either needs a singular verb or a definite article.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Aims, that is wonderful! Good for Emeline!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Sometimes (ok, a lot of times?), as a parent, you wonder if you are doing *anything* right. Every so often, your kid(s) do something that makes you so proud and shows you that you're doing a good job.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Suela, I've been in a similar space so I know what it feels like, the totally overwhelming. Sending you love, and I'm happy to be an ear if you need one. If you can take a day to yourself, please do.
