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

Wait until you're in your forties, meara. It's more like agree to have coffee somewhere mid afternoon.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I got stuck in the "go for drinks" era.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I went through C25K like 7 times before it stuck, meara. My body really hates running. Once you get to that 5k it gets a lot easier to add miles, though.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Decaf coffee at that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I got stuck in the "go for drinks" era.

Me too, man. Although generally home-by-ten type drinks.

Eta, I don't remember the last time I felt so uncomfortable. I went into the office ONE DAY this month and managed to catch whatever has been felling people on my team. I thought I might get away with just the sore throat, but my skin hurts which is always the first sign of the real deal for me.

Then I spent three hours in the park weeding and seeding and cleaning and now I can't even tell what's causing what, I just know it ALL hurts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does this picture look like steampunk or simply period?

Sue, I hope you and yours stay well clear of doctors for the next little while.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Kinda steampunky, I think. Possibly because of the corset and the tall hat.

Because books.

I spent the day with high school girls at Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls in North Philly, and they were completely awesome. We talked about writing -- I did a workshop on voice -- and then there was a book signing, and the girls were just amazing. AMAZING. But I have to give all of you who are or were teachers so much credit -- I am exhausted. In a very good way, though.

I always say "let's get coffee" even though I drink tea. Weird.

brenda, hot bath and ibuprofen and possibly some medicinal alcohol?
