Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

This afternoon/evening I attacked all the assorted receipts, pay stubs and other paper littering my desk. In the process I also reorganized my filing cabinets. I have one stack of insurance papers left to be filed, but I need to actually read those first. The cats enjoyed the pile of paper destined for recycling and the emptied portable file box while I worked.

I just received an email with the subject "Getting this email can get you fired in Cincinnati" which probably wasn't supposed to make me laugh, but it did. (NoiseDesign will understand.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I was not productive today. Well, I flipped the mattress and laundered the sheets, but that was because the dog bled on them after his dental surgery. Poor doggie. But he's feeling much more chipper now.

Go you on the 5k, Suela, that's great!

At least you have a diagnosis, Theo?

We eat a lot of red meat, but it's all game, which has lots of flavor. Not flavor that everyone likes, but I like it, so it works out.

Ooh, I forgot to take out garbage. I probably should. Because I'm still on spring break, and will likely forget tomorrow morning before he comes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hmm, Saturday we worked on taxes ALL DAY. Today, I got my car washed, went to get nails done but they were booked, then went to see Bad Words, which was snarkily sweet and lots of fun. Then came home and sexed up my husband and am now slounging in bed. A damn good weekend, I'd say.

I knew you'd understand.

Travel in Chicago is off to an auspicious start today. A train pulling into O'hare didn't stop. It ended up on the escalator. 32 injured, but it sounds like none are too serious.

And now part of the red line is shut down (south side) because a car went through a fence and hit a train. CTA chaos.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Oh my gosh! That all sounds awful, aurelia.

I'm up and going to the pool. If I can find pants, that is. If I can't find pants then I will put the dress on and still go to the pool.

It's definitely a monday.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I love Neil deGrasse Tyson. Holding a baby. The little social commentary asides.

I found the editing around the baby to be very upsetting. He was holding it in one scene, and then the very next shot he was standing on the edge of a cliff with no baby! Editors, don't do that!!

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

WTH, Chicago!
