meara, blahhh. I know that feeling so well and it sucks. I'm just tired of it all. Last night at the parade I was flirting with our Starlord who was super hot and he was flirting back and then he disappeared with another Rocket Raccoon. I mean, probably wasn't The One or even A One but I was hoping for at least a good geeky makeout session.

askye, I hope the inhaler helps.

It is hot here today. High of 76. I don't mean to taunt, but it's weird to be in t-shirt and shorts and flip flops when a few days ago I was wearing long underwear and many many layers.

bonny, that's a lot to deal with at one time. Fingers crossed for you on all fronts.

76? That's crazy warm!

I got up early and am trying to convince myself to get dressed and go run. I know I'll be glad if I go do it, but somehow that does not get me off the couch...

And last night I was so irked I deactivated my OKCupid account and deleted Tinder. I'm just so tired of trying to be hopeful that someone awesome is around the corner. I feel like I know so many super great people that are single (though sadly not enough of them are in Seattle to at least have someone to hang out with!!), and so many awful people who are married (obvi, also some awesome people who are married but not the point), and it just baffles me. And depresses me.

I know too many super great awesome people that seem to be single when it makes no sense whatsoever. Seriously, both here and at the home front. It is a complete mystery to me.

Also, {{Bitches}}.

It is 76 here too! We had a cooler couple of days and I made the dog stay outside a lot to try and fool her coat into thinking it was winter. Didn't work. Still shedding.

I'm pretty sure I'd be in a t-shirt and shorts if it got above 40 here. It's snowing again. Probably not going to stop until sometime Tuesday morning.

meara, I'm sorry. You are awesome and really deserve someone that appreciates that.

I'm sorry you haven't found that awesome person yet.

Well, if she's out there, I hope you find her, Meara.(And yes, my refreshing self has pondered that, too) I think it doesn't hurt that I post about politics sometimes, which can be weirdly euphemistic(If people really hate somebody, they say "He has high unfavorables" And they "author" things, which I kind of hate.(Not as much as the military and sports metaphors, or, God, "throwing someone under a bus" which is on my top ten never want to read it list.)

I'm just so tired of trying to be hopeful that someone awesome is around the corner.

My sistah. I deleted OKC off my phone in November. Went to the site in December and it depressed me so much I haven't been back.

On a tangential note: I rarely use an umbrella in Seattle, but it was raining really hard the past couple days and I would've. Except I left my umbrella in the car of a girl on our second date (back in December). She forgot to bring it on our third date, and that one fizzled out--apparently she was not feeling it. We're still friends on FB. Do I go buy a new umbrella, or can I ask her to like, drop it off on my porch next time she's in the neighborhood?

Plus side: I am done with our taxes.

Minus side: We owe the Feds a fair amount this year, for the first time in a while. It's for a fairly nice reason - we made more money because I worked all year and mr. flea wasn't furloughed - but still. That was depressing.
