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

This frickin' day. A four-hour training session in the middle of it, I never got my cup of tea, and my 5 person department is down two people (ie we have two open positions - the person they hired for one of them has backed out). It's not pleasant.

I think they weather might be nice, though. Soon, soon I will leave the office and the weather will matter.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Trying to kick start karate again. Had my private lesson today after missing class for a couple of weeks. Went over all my forms and some of my defense techniques. There are cob webs in the brain but not as bad as I thought. Also did everything back to back to back - so it was a good cardio workout.

At least I had a good shawarma on the way back to the office. Nice little deli, they set me up with an electronic punch card, which I have not seen before - it texts me my receipt and after 5 visits gives me something off (he told me, but I don't remember). Technology!

And now I can go for a run. Presently. Possibly after I set a bit and do nothing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Benefits of living downstairs from my mother: After A Day at work, I realized she was going out tonight when I saw a piece of cherry pie and a can of whipped cream on the table where she puts my mail. Nice!

Aw!

I'm just waiting for a stream to appear in my basement now.... though it looks like I might be able to get to the pool in the next hour and at least have something go right. I feel like I have disaster following me. I know it isn't that bad (no stitches, no chemo, no horrid reactions,) but having my schedule all disrupted always makes me a little mental, and having it be negative shit really makes me mental.

But my boss left me some spiderwort cuttings at work and I went and retrieved those while it was storming. I guess being stuck at home with the plumber, I can plant them tomorrow.

Aw, mom of Jesse is pretty great.

My State Farm agent is dealing with FEMA so I don't have to! It's just proof that my house is my primary residence so they don't raise my flood insurance rates but any dealings I have with FEMA are loaded with bad juju so having someone else do it is so good.

Errand #1 complete, en route to errand #2. I may need to postpone groceries if it keeps sheeting down rain like this.

You guys, I'm pretty excited about the current Jeopardy champion. I wish she were more personally exciting, maybe.

Because books.

Oh, I love Julia! I think she's great. She seems like a straight-up nice person.
