Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why such jerks, brains??

hula-hooping with a donut and eating bites out of it. Now THAT is a dream

I did not realize that was my dream, but it totally is.

I had weird dreams too but I'm pretty sure that is due to open windows and pollen and lots of brain fodder yesterday.

Dear cousin- I do not give two fucks about your calculus for driving vs cost. These are my arrangements. You are welcome to piggy-back on them, but I don't really care one way or the other. Fish or cut bait. You guys are SO turning into your parents, and that isn't a good thing.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

As an adult I feel like I never have good dreams. Not many nightmares, but endless variations on being late, unprepared, etc. Last night I was trying to make a flight and the buses were all wrong, and cans were late and my phone didn't work.

Boo jury

Yay goats and bunnies!

Yay potential decannulation

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There are guys with leaf blowers and weed whackers outside my window. It's making me feel remarkably like the Hulk.

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

Argh. I'm glad I didn't wait until today to do my taxes - the IRS won't take mine electronically (I thought I didn't file last year since I had negative AGI and was due only a $2 refund, but they won't accept my PIN based on that assumptions. I guess I wanted my two dollars even though I didn't save a pdf of my return WTF 2013 -T) so I have to print and mail like a Neanderthal (disclaimer - I happen to know that my genes are approx 4% Neanderthal, slightly higher than average). Do I have envelopes? Do I have stamps? I very much doubt it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Old Boss is positioning himself to be the lead contact for day to day communications with or customers and therefore is calling with every change. This is construction, so there are constant changes.

It is a middleman that we do not need, and every time I have to take his call....well, Dana said it perfectly above.

hip deep in pie

I also had not happy dreams last night. Blame it on the damn blood moon.

So he is essentially inserting himself where he is not needed?

I have to put socks and shoes on and I NEED TO GET OFF THE COUCH and stop being so blarghy.

Because books.

I don't remember what I dreamed, and now I guess I'm glad.

It's pouring rain here -- like coming in the windows, driving, pounding rain. Blech.

Somebody needs to put that guy on a leash. Or drop him off in the middle of the desert.

So I printed out my returns and brought them to the office to get them signed and envelopes address and whatnot. Of course, I left all my W-2s and 1099s at home. This frickin' day.

Ides of April, blood moon, all y'all's bad dreams...I shoulda stood in bed.
