Triumph! They had somehow fallen into the triangle made up of Walter's water dish, the giant bag of dog food, and the coatrack where I hang my purse - spotted them when I was scooping out kibble. Lincoln's birthday is saved!
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

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

Would anybody be up for a bit of hanging out on FaceTime/gchat later (in an hour or two)? I was supposed to have dinner with a friend and he just canceled and I was really looking forward to some human interaction. Doesn't have to be all chatty (we could watch tv or look at clothes or whatever) I just am really needing to be around someone...(going to the gym at the moment to maybe burn off some funk)

My day: up early. Like 4:30 early.nWater alarm goes off in basement post shower. Basement toilet is burping, which indicates sewage line is having issues. Great. Apply hot water and drano. Burpburpburp. Go to work. Meetings and meetings and hell. Come home, see 3 plumbing trucks up the street and around the corner. This is actually hopeful. (I'm still convinced my previous issues were the mainline, not my feeder.) Run tons and tons of water, flush toilets, no burping. Really hope it was a city issue that all the others took care of. I've got at least 3loads of laundry to do this weekend. Though I could probably use Karen's or Anna's. If Anna's, I'd probably have to call the city to run clean out if it the main line is at fault. Need to ask her about that before she leaves country again.
In sum, A Day. For A Week.

Laundry done. Bags re-packed. Alarm set for 4am. Taxi coming at 4:45. I just need to take a quick shower and then collapse in bed for a few hours.

Happy bit of luck tonight - while looking for a map (that still hasn't turned up), I went through my illustration portfolio and found an old favorite watercolor of the Arlington Hotel veranda that I'd thought lost for decades. Must now keep an eye out for sale of framing materials at Hobby Lobby.

I have had a Day. Actually a Week of weird.
Today, I got in an argument at the grocery store over Bruce Jenner. This dude was all skeeved about wanting to be a woman and I of course could NOT keep my mouth shut and said, "What's wrong with being a woman?" Which devolved into an argument at 5:00 AM. His last bit before I hit him was something about how many women can a man get pregnant and how many men can a man get pregnant. Hey, asshat, if breeding is your sole definition of what is natural you fucking hell have problems.
Ahem.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Am starting a four day weekend tomorrow. J and I are off to a fancy hotel in Palm Springs, courtesy of Range Rover. Saturday, we off-road around the desert and Sunday we get to go to a modernism house tour! All free. We haven't been away with just us without family in a couple of years. I wish I felt more romantic--basically, I feel like a giant lump of lard, with wrinkles. I've been obsessed abut what to wear because of this. And Poor J is getting over a terrible cold, so maybe he won't be in the mood to ravish my lardy self. Aside from this, I am really looking forward to the trip.

Aww, Scrappy you are awesome and not lardy and J loves you and you can have a great time together. Focus on the you, don't worry too much about the clothes.
