I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Close to 30 bulbs planted! I only lost a few to rot over the summer. Also raked and swept the sidewalk.

Market was good, not too cold. Gonna veg a bit before swimming.

I slept for...many many hours. Sadly, I woke up with a headache, took pain pills, went back to bed, and am still not feeling great. Boo. And tomorrow I have to fly back to LA, after getting home late last night. And a friend who was supposed to have a dinner party re-scheduled for tomorrow night (which I can't attend). BOO.

That said, the only must-dos I have are...laundry. Though I'd like for other things to get done. But I'm thinking a Rosie the Riveter costume. For that I need a red headscarf (already have) and...what do I look for for clothing? Note that I would want to wear this with cowboy boots on Thursday. If I feel better today I"ll go thrift-shopping.

In this, I am Meara today. Boo.

I need to be cleaning, the place is a mess. Instead I'm contemplating more pain pills and bed.

In better news, friend who re-scheduled dinner just called and we're going to hang out shortly, so yay that.

Also, I went and read the link to Julianne Hough in blackface. SERIOUSLY, GIRL??? WTF??? I mean, I love OITNB. And love many of the characters on it. (And would get naked with several of them, aww yeah). But NO. NO NO NO.

ETA: Thanks Ginger! Hmm, overalls? Or just jeans and a collared blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up? I'm not sure overalls would be the most flattering (even if I can find some), but not sure the blue shirt alone would be as obvious...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Blue collared long sleeve shirt. And jeans I guess? What I picture is more like a coverall, but that might be hard to find.

I have beef stock simmering on the stove and pork stew in the oven. And 6 pints of strawberries that I have no idea what to do with. Purée, mix with balsamic vinegar and freeze? Presumably at some point in the future strawberries will sound like something I want to eat...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I am so irritated by that, meara. It is 2013. Don't people know not to do that shit? I mean really.

Ooops. Project File All The Things took a step back with a discovery of a yet-unsorted box!

My friend is in London on her honeymoon and tonight she's seeing a play that stars Rupert Grint, Colin Morgan, Ben Whishaw and Mr. Bates from Downton. She tweeted me during intermission. Fandoms are colliding and her head is exploding.
