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

Zen, thanks. It's a big thing for me to shrug off the avoidance and not be looking for the exit.

ION, I just fell asleep - okay just woke up - in the enormous bathtub. Still warm after two hours. I considered getting my pillow and mask and getting back in.

[I'm going on the theory that if you're not super drunk, which I'm not, or doing drugs, ditto, you'll wake up if you go under. But also my feet are enormous raisins so I will go to regular bed.]

Please don't drown, brenda!

I slept in! Until 5:30. I don't think that counts.

'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"

I woke up 5ish and just couldn't get back to sleep. Allover aches. Once I get some food inside me, I'll take some ibuprofen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good job, brenda! With the networking and also not drowning.

Our big family fight since my grandmother's death is that my uncle refuses to take any of the (modest amount of) money. My mother and aunt were joking about suing him. To take the money!

Oh no! I'm afraid I have a pre-cold.

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

I don't know what that means.

Go brenda! Networking and napping in the tub, both impressive!

So weird and annoying, aurelia. I hope he is embarrassed for making a fuss at the wrong person, even if he couldn't bring himself to back down to your face.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I always envy people who like their family and whose families apparently like them.

I love my family, but more days than not, I'm grateful to have some distance from them.

I don't know what that means.

It's some new marketing ploy for a product I forget: "Take this when you have a pre-cold, and don't get the cold!" Basically, I have a headache and several of my coworkers are sick, so I feel like it's coming for me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

X-Men Manatees!

Wolverine Manatee is my fave.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think a pre-cold means being chased through the streets by a Wild Thing.

So weird and annoying, aurelia. I hope he is embarrassed for making a fuss at the wrong person, even if he couldn't bring himself to back down to your face.

I think he is thoroughly convinced that I'm a pathological liar who is always watching infomercials loudly and that I'm hiding a man who coughs a lot. I don't even know how to deal with that. AND he recorded our conversation. I wonder what he thinks he'll get from that.
