And really, there is only so much lost you can get in El Paso/LC. Hardest part is Trans Mountain or I10, depwnding on if and where you are headed to the westside.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I do not want an extra day to get work done in because that would inevitably lead to more work, somehow. There's just always too much to do and I don't believe having more time would change that.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Not only no extra day, one less hour this month!
Aw, Burrell. I'm sorry you feel like that.
Thanks -t. I think at some point I need to address this as either a new, unwelcome change to my personality or sign that I need to change something about my lifestyle. Both seem kind of overwhelming to deal with, so I keep just hoping it'll pass.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, Burrell. I hope it does pass!

Burrell, I really feel you. I feel like I've been on treadmill unrealistic with sides of abusive employer for the last year. Every time I think I've employed a coping mechanism successfully, it manages to be crushed. I wear my bitterness and resentment on my sleeve as a challenge, and I'm not sure if I give a shit about the repercussions. I've always been the Eyeore, but now I'm the angry mean Eyeore. I'm learning all about me angry. It's... Not always pleasant.

Because books.
You've had a hard stretch, Burrell -- maybe it's a buildup of stress and grief? Be kind to yourself as often as you can.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh Burrell, I'm sorry, though I am also thinking "at least it's not just me feeling like that sometimes.
Separately, it took me over an hour to go about 3 miles on the way home tonight. I was thinking maybe another fatal accident with the train or on the freeway, but no, it was that a single traffic light was out.
ONE SINGLE FRICKING LIGHT

Ooo, I'd go postal, Lee.
I'm learning all about me angry. It's... Not always pleasant.
Oh yeah, I hear ya! I don't like myself sometimes.

Okay marketing people, "Rock Me like a Hurricane" is not a good choice of song to go with Fiber One cookies. I do not want to be living out the Colon Blow cereal commercial.

Yeppers.
So my back downspout is frozen up to halfway,but water is stilll coming off the roof, pouring out the joins. Hoping the warmup in 12 hrs means I don't have to redo my plaster job. Hasn't done this since the epic 2010 blizzards that ruined that wall in the first place. Good news is that it isn't epic ice on brick, just streams of water on the pipe, ice below first floor. And 40 tomorrow.
One of these days, I buy pipe tape.
