Ooh, will do--thanks msbelle!
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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.

Okay, this is the second time I've had a pat down after going through the body scanner. I've never had this problem, but I'm going to start opting out if they're going to pat me down anyway.
Signed,
Not wearing a belt, that's just my belly fat. Thanks for drawing attention to that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Like a full patdown? I feel like they often do one area on me after the scanner -- my left calf got a lot of attention one trip.

It's one of those days that if I didn't have 3 meetings, two of which I'm running, I'dve gone back to bed. Instead, I've been triaging email since 7:15.

Ooooh. I saw one of my officemates in with HR yesterday and then he left early, so I sort of wondered if something was up. He's hiring, so it wasn't necessarily anything big... but yeah. Today is his last day. I wonder if he'll even come in -- he's not here yet.
