I think that's a perfect way to end it.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need adult supervision. I just re-jacked my ankle. Not as badly, but the difference now is that extending past the range of motion makes me scream and cry.
It was the same thing--leg numb, tried to move, overcommitted, flexed the joint nonconcensually and a shooting burning pain up the outsode of the bandage.
So, to bed, with an icepack and a bandage, and a bit of self--pity.
SLR photographers, what focal length prime lens do you use for portraiture and what aperture do you use?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
ita! No more pain, woman! Ouch.
Today is a Rule of 5 day for me:
1 load of laundry Dust office Sweep office Clean surfaces in bathroom Clean tub (slowly and gently; I'll count that as stretching for my back.)
Tomorrow will be onerous task day for me.
What 5 things/5 minute long tasks can others do today?
Anyone want to join me in Onerous Task Friday?

Work is going to be one big 11- or 12-hour onerous task for me Friday, so gonna pass.
While today was a busy and productive day, I got almost none of the drawing I'd intended to do finished because 4 different people were bombarding me with surprise tasks every few minutes.

I think that counts as onerous, Matt! I hope you survive, and treat yourself to something nice this weekend.

'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'm so proud of myself, I've been sorting and discarding 5+ years of bills and correspondence. When I'm finished, it will all be sorted into boxes labelled 2005, 2006, etcetera. Next step today is to Pay All The Bills.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I could use to do Onerous Task Friday with you, Strix. My habitat needs unfucking something fierce.

My Onerous Task Thursday includes giving the Provost a budget projection for FY15 (which normally wouldn't be needed until March, but he is all over the law school finances right now), and writing a cover letter. Of these two tasks, the cover letter is proving more difficult and more I don't wanna.

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
Yes! We need to revive Onerous Task days. Though some of mine are done now thanks to the cleaning fairies.
Cover letters are the worst.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
What 5 things/5 minute long tasks can others do today?
I've got 5 things! Wash dishes, clean out my t-shirt drawer, walk the dog, dust, sort through papers on the table from hell.
