(A) buying my souvenirs and then hauling the bags all over town is not the smartest thing I ever did
(2) wandering around Reykjavik is a lot of fun.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
How are you all feeling, -t?

I'm pretty much fully recovered. Lee is not quite there, but if her timeline is like mine we are hoping she will be okay for tonight's Northern Lights tour.

But yay souvenirs and Reykjavik, -t!
I have a package in the mail room. I have no memory of ordering anything, so this is going to be a surprise.

Ooh, surprise package!
I almost bought a LOT of knitted stuff with my mental exchange rate off by a power of ten. Google really saved me. Still got some, because it's beautiful, but not the tons that I wanted.

Someone I know is currently in a room with Ta-Nehisi Coates! (Looks like a small conference room-style panel discussion about reparations.) Cool.
I also sort of just got offered another freelance Classics librarian job. I never in a million years would have assumed that there was freelance Classics Librarian work, but I guess there is!

Wow, flea! To both those things.
Sigh. Looks like there is concious uncoupling happening in my family. Not all about me, of course, but I can't really call and be supportive right now and that's a bummer.

Cool, flea! Is it the sort of freelance job you can take, or one where you're like 'that would be cool if I didn't already HAVE a job"?
I...don't wanna work. (I just wanna bang on the drum all day?) I need to do a bunch of stuff today, and I have to leave the house around 1pm....and I just...can't motivate. I also need to do a bunch of laundry, so I have clean clothes to take with me on my trip tomorrow. But...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Very cool, flea!
meara, you remind me that I have got to do laundry tonight. I could muddle through a few more days, but I have a work thing all day Saturday and church on Sunday and etc etc.
That is a bummer, -t. Things will still be happening when you get home, though.

That is true! And it's not like all-hands-on-deck-crisis.
Do stuff, meara! Or don't, I'm in no position to be motivating anyone.
