I finished an article review and now I don't want to do another damn thing except run through a park barefoot.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
When I was 9 or so, I had an imaginary pet bat named Suspended Annamay.
That's wonderful.
While weeding this morning, I discovered a large yellow-and-black jillifont in a odd zigzag web. I don't know what they're called, but I've seen them before. I'd like to know what they are so I can find out why their webs are weird. I didn't kill it; I accidentally destroyed its web, but it lived to weave another day.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Argiopes. Black and Yellow Garden Jillifont. My favorite Jillifont. I like to catch ants and throw them on the web. Because they're usually low to the ground.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bwah! My sister totally egged Nurse WooWoo on. It was brilliant. I thought she (Nurse WW) would be on good behaviour, just to show me up, but she was GOLDEN. Quantum physics and changing paradigms and everything.
Now Sis is walking her to her car and telling her to stop being late (she called at 12:30 to say she'd be here at 12:50 and showed up after 1) because my head hurts (she's too nice to say this herself, you understand, and she'd feel awful if she knew I was telling you this, but COULD YOU PLEASE STICK TO YOUR COMMITMENTS??). (I can still hear them talking--the fuck?)
If she hadn't done anything else to help me out (she just finished putting together the Adirondack chair and cleaning the balcony), and even if this doesn't work, this is worth the plane ticket I'm reimbursing.

I have to give a shoutout to my Hubby.
He recently jointed the NRA, because that made entry into a recent gun show free. He's always been interested in gun, particularly historical and hunting ones. We own a few, and they're all safely stored and managed. I have no objection to guns per se, but I think they're too easy to get and too many morons have them. However, I despise the masturbatory rantings of many NRA members as well as the politics of the group's leadership.
Still, I'm not going to forbid a grown man from joining a group. He wanted to enter a raffle they were holding, because one of the hunting rifles they're giving way is one he's wanted for years. I expressed dismay at a check from an account with my name on it showing up with money for the NRA. Hubby obligingly went and got a money order. The money is still from our joint account, but they won't have my name anywhere.
We agreed long ago that political debates are often not a good idea, because I rarely have the points handy that backup my opinions, and Hubby is an excellent debater so I'm quickly on the defensive. Hubby cares a lot more about being right than I do. I see it as a huge thing, though, that he's willing to bow to what he sees as an unfounded bias against the group but one which I feel strongly about. I made sure to thank him, and I've even managed some rational discussions about gun policy.
