Oh, hey, I did find coffee! An ancient can of decaf in my freezer. Kind of sad, but I am having a cup. I don't even know why. I went and got my annual gingerbread latte this morning, so I shouldn't be that desperate.
Maybe I've always been here.

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I would vote Leatherman, too.

Maybe not mixing fancy drinks, but opening wine, pouring beer and champagne properly, mixing liquor+chaser-
Pouring a proper gin and tonic was most definitely part of our upbringing.

I like the Leatherman(s), because if you have pliers, you find that you have about a hundred uses for them that you never knew you needed. They make a whole bunch of "gripping" or "getting into a tight spot" situations, much much easier.
I've somehow ended up with one Swiss Army knife, one full-size Leatherman, and two mini-"Leatherman" alternate devices (one made by Brookstone, with a dear little detachable LED flashlight). The Brookstone I carry in my purse and amazes everyone when you take it out to deal with a Situation.

I should start packing, shouldn't I?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I should start packing, shouldn't I?
Is there some threat in your neighbourhood you're not telling us about?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Do you have a flight in less than 3 hours? If no, I say you're fine.
I need to keep packing my stupid apartment. I've been up for three hours and haven't done anything!
Also, I guess it's time to bring out the puffy coat -- we will not get up to freezing today. Brrr!

11 degrees here.

Because books.
I think the high here is supposed to be 32. Last Sunday I was out without even a sweater.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Same here, Amy. Per the weather app on my phone, it's 21 degrees outside. I have no desire to go verify that for myself.
