Wandering through our local Savers thrift store and spotted not one, but two tan trench coats with heavy fuzzy liners that fit! One was a London Fog and the other was a Stafford (Stanford?) For under $20! I got the Stafford because it was a skosh roomier. Yay, men's clothes! Yay, winter coat!
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That reminds me, I meant to post [link]
My ex boyfriend just bought Kaylee's parasol for me. I will probably never use it. And now I must keep it forever.

Curiosity made me google. [link] They're pricy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel that Gudanov would want to know that I am currently full of burrito.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I must be conflating more than one umbrella conversation. Someone should make a pretty parasol that won't break and you can use to slice watermelon, but I'm not going to hold it against the slicing umbrella that it's not pretty.
Because, fuck, BADASS.
Also, ludicrously expensive. I am of the school where I lose the cheap ones sooner, but that's a whole different level of not cheap.
Still, I need to give myself something for Christmas, so...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm still carrying my World Wildlife Fund umbrella from the early '90s, so paying anything for an umbrella is well outside my normal thought process.

No one has ever given me a free umbrella, but access to free tee shirts didn't stop me from buying my own, so. Maybe in LA I could have an umbrella last 20 years, but most of mine have died due to wear and tear. I have only lost one or two, tops.

I've had an umbrella for over 10 years. It's now next to my desk at work, which is not so useful.

Goddamn I nearly started some shit and had a breakdown at work today. Pulled like taffy between a bunch of important people none of whom would plant a fucking flag in the ground and settle things. I'm chill about it now despite sub-optimal outcome but damn should I not have been in that position.

I unilaterally cancelled a meeting later this week because so much shit was thrown at me today alone that I already don't have time to prep for it. So I feel you.
Having a friend be the coordinator for a team that is now approaching as unwieldy as my Worst Instrument Team Ever is ....awkward.
