I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Woo! It's a wedding day!

And a birthday day!

And, of course, a Saturday! So how's peeps? Lisa, were you staying in the Hotel Monaco?

Because books.

If so, I hope you said hi to my goldfish! (I really loved that hotel.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Busy day -- we picked out all the stuff for my new kitchen, and did a bunch of clearing out my grandmother's! Am now tired, but have grocery shopped (at least for cheese, which was most of what I needed) and am now sitting.

It was interesting -- the designer at Home Depot tried moving a few things around, but in the end, we're just leaving all of the appliances where they are. I mean, getting new ones, but in the same spots. And I'm getting a banquette! And a bunch of beadboard. Am excited.

We added a bunch of beadboard when we first bought the house, Jesse. Quick way to change the look of a room, and always charming.

I love beadboard, too. New kitchen is exciting!

I'm so bored by the writing I have to do for work, it's taking me forever.

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

I am not working this weekend. I hope that is good. But it's the first zero work weekend in months.

The brace against lateral movement is very instructive, but it's awkward and I can't ice through it. But easily most of the quick "random" pain was lateral displacement I couldn't detect.

I spent some time checking this chick out today (I'd just flirted with the cashier upstairs, was on a roll), and to her credit, she stayed in place (on her motorbike in the parking lot, fiddling with her phone) until I closed my car door and made to leave.

She was cute. I don't feel bad.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Chest cold lingers. This is because I am a dirty no good smoker. Gonna have to pick up a few Saturdays at work to make up for my sick days. As my father would imply: "This is all my fault".

On the flipside, the cats have been beside themselves with all the accessible mommy going on. I was looking almost seriously at an apartment that would preclude them going out, and wondering if they'd still have the quality of life they're used to if they were forced to become housecats.

I then think about my own quality of life and if I'd ever sleep again if they were forced to stay indoors 24/7.

Le sigh, those girls need to get sidejobs.
