All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, it's awesome! And all of the internal stuff was really necessary. Possibly more fraught than it needed to be (because of Reasons), but necessary.

The Great Gatsby is one of the classics that could be improved by vampires.
Something that could be said about a lot of classics, in my view.

I think Gatsby could use a really violent home invasion a la Criminal Minds. That would improve things.

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

My god, woman, you're just really sick. Tsk, tsk.
I think the only reason I'm working from the office today is because I promised myself petticoats. Pink and white and Mary Janes and vintage, yeah.
But I think the mojo is wearing off...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Community is not on Netflix, but I just bought the first three seasons on Amazon. $9.99 per season, seemed like a great deal!
My Christmas present was seasons 1-3 of Community. I'd seen the first two before, but not the third. Looking forward to it. (Ok, strictly speaking my Christmas present was seasons 1-3 of Community, and the Avengers. Because it's Christmas!)

I am not sick. Just some thrill beatings. Come on, tell me that wouldn't liven things up a bit. Snap a few of the annoying twits out of their self-absorption.
Coffee is not helping me. I am so tired. And everything is annoying me and I still wanna cry and and and. I am pretty sure this means I need to leave work a little early and get some jalepeno poppers before I head home. Possibly a vanilla coke also.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Isn't that funny? And yet, good on you for being over-prepared, because if you weren't, it might have turned the other way. So hard to tell.
The chances of something turning out to not be a big deal after all are usually proportional to the amount of time and effort you spend preparing for the disaster.
Though I did have a big hovering worrisome issue dissolve with a whimper this autumn after years of studiously Not Thinking About It and pretending the problem would go away. Sort of a negative version of "fake it 'til you make it."

Fuck, fuck, fuckity, fuck, shit.
Our washing machine just flooded the apartment, garage, and garage closet. We seem to have stopped the apartment waterflow to half the hallway, one bathroom, and a bit of K-Bug's room. Most of the garage flow has missed the stuff stored there, but I don't have any place dry to shift things around to check on the questionable areas. The garage closet has the same issue. It seems to have missed the cardboard boxes, but I don't have any place dry to move things to really be able to check.
I called maintenance and the "water extraction" people will be here in an hour to dry the carpet and do the anti-mold thing. I hope they can do something with the garage too. We have swept out what we could and have the garage cracked open, but until that area dries...
We have been planning on getting a new set, but I still need to save up $1,000 more (dang things are expensive and I'd rather get a nice set than settle for a cheep set, but that was the plan while the current set was still working). So fricking frustrating.
Our complex used to rent washers and dryers but now they buy a new set and add an amount to your rent. Which mean I could get a new set, but it wouldn't be mine and I wouldn't have any choice over it. But I would be able to get it within the next week.
The hall is so squishy...gross.
