Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Tumblr is down for everyone

I was wondering about that. (Not enough to check "down for everyone or just me," apparently.)

downrightnow says service disruptions for tumblr and hotmail. I can get into hotmail but not tumblr.

I meant to buy a huge bag of apples at the farmers market and go pie crazy, but I forgot the apples. I almost want to go back down there but I am so tired, I don't think I can get off the couch.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Really, when someone asks you where you're going, and it's Vegas, the answer should always be "Vegas, baby!"

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

At least I have apple cake for second breakfast....

That reminds me, I want to make that apple cake today if I can find the time.

For now, I'm just making coffee, then eggs will soon follow.

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

I'm not sure I have anything that'll make a reasonable breakfast. Household management fail. At least I have coffee. Maybe I'll be able to figure something out after some of that.

After I let the animals out at 6am (because they let me sleep in that late in their benevolence) I went back to sleep and had a really vivid dream of being on vacation (with some very unsettling details that I will gloss over because that is not the point) and I woke up not knowing what day it was or when I got back from the Caribbean (note that I have not been to the Caribbean. Ever.) Subjective passage of time, man, so weird.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I want to go to Vegas or the Caribbean,but instead I am going to the office.

Wheeeee

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My main goal for the afternoon is to not buy a lot of stuff at Target, since I want to walk a couple of miles and then go to a panel discussion after. What I can do is plan to order stuff off the website. And buy some tights.

Happy Saturday Office Funtime, Lee.

That's a thing, right?

Good plan, Jesse.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I discovered that actively using The one crutch has been hurting me and wearing me out more than just walking unaided. So I shortened it to force myself to have it handy in case I step wrong and for stairs and slopes, but otherwise it's better to just walk.
