Tep, Zen, I'll say you were with me, taking a drive to not see the Grand Canyon
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

There's a small stash of cash in my office. If only I knew where it was.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
my mom just sent me $60 cash in the mail. And I have an ounce of gold somewhere. I'll fill the gas tank up tomorrow, and that will be the extent of my preparation (see also: Tropical Storm Karen prep.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't think I even have laundry money.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thanks for clarifying my mind for me, everyone. I will leave my stocks alone and get some cash tomorrow. And then nothing will happen. Probably. Right?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
My apartment is cleaner, but still looks like a pit. I curse my bum ankle for not allowing me to put out the recycling last Monday, right now that's most of what's clogging up space. I would have washed more dishes but my hands have pruned up and dried out completely for the evening.
The silver lining is that the folks will not be spending the night at any point. So I don't have to worry about getting rid of the chipmunk if it is still around (the squeaking at 4am is fun!) and I can stuff shit in my oven and not worry about having to bake dinner.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Speaking on behalf of the lactose-intolerant, i totally sub coconut milk (the full fat kind) for condensed milk in my pumpkin pie and it is sooooooooooo yummy!

Another yes from here -- 'So Delicious' brand coconut milk has totally changed my diet. It's close enough that I can pour it over corn flakes for breakfast, and use it to make hot cocoa, and stuff like that.
I hadn't even considered what the shutdown might do to ATMs and whatnot. And I just got a large-ish check for my part of my Mom's estate to deposit (and promptly pay off a bunch of outstanding bills, which is what she would have wanted).

I spent about 10 minutes last night trying to decide if FY! Treasure Trails was SFW so I could follow it on Tumblr. I don't know why I didn't get the hive mind to weigh in. (In the end, I decided to bookmark it at home.)

Also, I have a spare room and a futon in the basement and I guess soon we really may have an unguarded border.
