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

Hey, Jesse, I am having kale with an egg on it for breakfast! No bacon because I am out of bacon.

Edited because "ita font" is not actually a quick-edit code

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, yeah!

Because books.

"I am out of bacon" = five saddest words in the English language.

Thinking about you, ita. I hope something helpful happens today.

You can't have your bacon and eat it, too.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just caught up on Top Chef and now the kale salad with bacon and an egg on top is HILARIOUS. But also delicious-sounding, so I say go for it.

I think I win World's Laziest Parent today. I overslept by an HOUR and so Aeryn's breakfast was a Nutrigrain bar she ate on the bike ride over to daycare.

On the plus side I am wearing my Teefury Keeping Tree shirt today. (Should have ordered an XL. It fits now but I worry about what will happen when I wash it.)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I just rescued a big brown spider from my cat and urged it outside again. ewww nnggghhh It's hard trying to be a good Buddhist sometimes.

This is why I scoop them up in TP and flush them without squishing them. I figure if it's meant to live, it will survive the ride.

Hornets and wasps on the other hand get nuked from orbit by any means necessary. Sorry, if you can sting, you're goint down if I have any say.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh my lord I have so much to do before going out of town tomorrow. At least I found a dog solution that doesn't involve me driving 50 miles to Kenosha at 10 pm tonight.

I only trap and release stinkbugs, because killing them is what makes them stink. They might THINK I'm being compassionate, but I'm really just trying to keep the house stink-free.

Everything else gets squished in a tissue and then flushed for good measure.

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

Why would someone invite me to a Christian Flickr group? I figured it was malicious spam, but it is a legit flickr invitation. I wonder how easy it is to spam from that interface. I have maybe 6 pictures of churches--is that a lot among kids today.

I've been up since about three, trying to determine what "reasonable" looks like for a non-level-1-trauma ER sounds like. Don't want to seem suspicious now...

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I hate people. Conference = bad idea. I know I'm slow, but please try not to fucking knock me over, and having a grip on your awareness of your surroundings in a crowd might be a good fucking idea.
