The tea keeps disappearing out of my cup today. I have reading material and tea packed for the weekend; that's all I need, right? Also, I must remember to turn off some of ltc's electronic toys when she's napping. They feel extra loud today.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I seriously reached for my coffee mug earlier and was genuinely surprised it was empty. I suspect coffee gnomes.

Seriously, I made two cups so far and don't feel any more awake. Stupid tea gnomes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That's how SSRIs made me feel too. Actually, that's how I feel anyway; SSRIs serotonin me to the point I can't function.
Man, I've got another author who's livid with rage because we edited his precious paper to style. I do not want to deal with this crap.

You've got a great business opportunity, Zen, Special Snowflake Publishers.

I feel you. (Fortunately, my authors have been fine this week. Maybe a balance of special snowflake authors has to be maintained in the universe, and when I have none, you get them all?)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
It's the weekend. And I have to work, as usual. Maybe someday I'll get caught up on work and have a weekend where I don't have to work.

I went through his paper line by line, thanks a lot that's what I needed to spend three hours on today, and there's nothing wrong with it, the editor followed the style rules, he just doesn't liiiiiiiike it. ffs
I have work to do this weekend, but I plan to stubbornly take the weekend for myself anyway.
There's construction all around me now. I can see more houses from my house. Two of my neighbors talked to me today. It's time to move.

I can hear other people outside like, all the time now. Rationally, I know everything's okay, but my lizard brain that grew up at the end of a quarter-mile lane still freaks out and sends up Danger Intruder Alert signals constantly. It's worse than my cats. I swear, this is one reason I like having cats around: when there's actually a human in my yard, my cats let me know. If they're calm, the humans are not in our territory.
