Yeah, the cops around here do "safety checks" on holidays weekends a lot.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I wonder if it has something to do with fleet week.

Clicked the link on Facebook. Price out of my range. Don't need anything that good. Just looking for a cheap used laptop or tablet to watch Democracy Now on.

New coffee bar (that's what the sign says, so I guess I will go with that) is really nice. The owner's live nearby and they want to have community stuff going on - they've already got a crochet/knitting group meeting and are looking for suggestions for more stuff like that. My iced vanilla coffee was quite tasty. They don't open up early enough in the morning for me to stop by before work, but I plan to drop in at the end of tomorrow's run in the afternoon. Yay.

I am generally annoyed by random checks but have never thought it was profiling. It's widely effective in our old neighborhood for keeping drunk driving down.
Last night was a girl scout singalong. Ugh.

I need to get off my ass and work out. Also, I have accomplished zero today. Ugh. But I want to go dance, which would mean I have to leave here around 6--I'm already not going to the lessons, which I really should if I want to get better. But I'm so sleeeeeeeepy. Probably working out would help with that, but...

Sobriety checks I totally understand, but on a Sunday morning, blocking off three lanes of traffic? That seems weird to me.
Maybe working out will energize you for dancing?
I am all melty and feeling like it's too hot to do anything, but it's only 75F, so I don't even know. Have started Operation Bribe Rabbits to Tolerate Being Held through Judicious Application of Carrots. Too early to tell if that's effective, but they don't seem traumatized, and the carrots are eaten.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
If it were a weekday morning, I'd be wondering if this was another political payback thing, like Chris Christie and the access lanes to the bridge. That wouldn't make much sense on a Sunday morning, though.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
so apparently my parents are planning on moving out of Texas when they downsize. This is why they keep saying they'll probably stay in their (way too big) house until E graduates high school.
Why the hell couldn't they move before I left NY? I could have avoided moving back to Texas.
So yes, I am neck deep in a resentment pool of bad mood. They have never been the steady source of support/help with E that I have wanted or needed. I have to ask every single time I want anything which is exhausting and also completely demoralizing for me.
I am not at all doing well with just accepting where I am and finding a way to be happy. I hate where I am. The people I get along with here I hardly ever get to see. People like Daisy who I would love to hang out with are too far away to easily see and life and schedules and fuck all.
