Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha ha ha -- my office is "open" tomorrow. With the subway totally shut down and people being encouraged not to drive. So basically, anyone who walks to work is welcome to go. I am not going, thank goodness.

I'd really like them to find and give me back my $1500 dollars.

Also, sdx, tab and caps lock have gone awol on my laptop. Given it needs more memory, and now this...sigh. There are things for which I still want more than a mini iPad, ie things I don't want to be forced into mobile mode. I do have a spare Bluetooth keyboard, so it isn't a total wash.

I'm unimpressed with this week so far.

I would like to go to Frontera. And then anywhere on a plane.

I would subscribe to this lifestyle.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

The first time you use "oxt" with anyone it'll take some time to explain, but once you have established it is wonderful. My scheduling with friends via txt has gotten much faster.

Aaand my deck is icing up. One guess as to how I found out. But the last of the birdseed is in the feeder.

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

That is fucked up, sarameg.

I don't think I need "oxt". I don't make that many weekend plans, I'll usually specify the date. I can see the need for a "me and you" us distinct from a "me and them" us. Mexican food for breakfast also sounds good.

I found the slate article about "inclusive we":

I wish there were an english solution more elegant than 'in-we' which sounds like something you do in the WC.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I declare this week to be fucking done, even though it's Monday. In addition to the work bullshit, I got a notice that my 2014 property taxes weren't paid on my new house. They were supposed to have been paid with funds from the settlement. The settlement company is now out of business. Guess who had to unearth her HUD-1 and title insurance policy in the midst of the rest of the crap today?

I still haven't started drinking. I was working until 8, and barely managed popcorn for dinner. I'm done for the evening. I'll get up and try again tomorrow.

You people need to talk more. I am bored, but I don't want to use up the stash of books that I have started accumulating for my vacation in two weeks. But I might have to!!

Y'all, I already did my taxes, I put together all the info for refinancing my mortage and applied online, I"ve done three loads of laundry....it's not fun to play dress-up in my closet by myself...all my friends in town seem to be busy until Thursday (why aren't some of them free OTHER days???)

ETA: Oh, geez, Maria--that's not what I wanted to hear when I demanded posting! So sorry and sucky. Hope the taxes thing works out. :(
