Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Um, good luck, tommy?

Oh, yay, deboning, Dana!

Jen! Glad you found the side door! How you been?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Um, good luck, tommy?

Thanks. I don't think we could be friends now, so I don't care too much. Except I hate confrontation.

Huh, he finally messaged me back. He replied to a comment I made about my '59 Lincoln and ignored the comment about the sperm donor thing.

Yay, Dana!

Huh, tommyrot. People from the past, you just never know how that's gonna go.

Punishingly Intricate

they said they didn't provide tape for their own boxes (I knew they didn't for the random other boxes, but not for their own flat rate ones??)

My post office always does (have brought boxes to ship and forgotten tape multiple times). There are also always fast-moving lines and the staff is always polite and cheerful so maybe it's a freak operation.

Yay for quick and easy deboning, Dana.

Hi, Beverly! We don't intersect enough online anymore. I've missed your words.

He sent this back:

Ah, your first reply just sunk in. Well that's nice that you helped them out.

So. No defriending just yet.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hi, JenP! Good to see your pixels.

tommy, it's such a crapshoot, getting back in touch with old friends. Or old "friends", even. Sometimes they prove to be people you don't want to know anymore. A couple nights ago I went looking on a whim and found my gay high-school not-boyfriend on Facebook, and sent him a Friend request. He's into raising chickens now, which...okay, sure, chickens are cool. He hasn't replied, but that doesn't mean anything necessarily. We'll see what happens.

Thanks, Calli.

ION - I put in 15 minutes circuit training at the gym after work and then came home and did 2 miles with the dog. Woo! That's just gonna get more do-able as sunset gets later. I think this might work for me better than trying to run before work as I just want to veg afterwards. I'm doing the zombie version of couch to 5k - haven't been in immediate danger of being eaten yet. I jogged when I was supposed to be walking for the first half of the session, which was actually okay but I couldn't keep it up for the whole thing so I think I'll dial back to walking when they say walk. I can say it's to be easier on Walter who is also a bit out of shape, poor dog. Although he did seem to enjoy the real running we did when we were supposed to run, like I had hoped he would.

Thanks, Zen! I see most of everyone on FB (speaking of) but here is different.

Hope you have smooth reconnecting, tommy rot. So far, so good.
