Oh, I want to be at home in bed under my blankets. Alternately, I think I need a new windshield, mine is covered in little pockmarks like I regularly drive behind sand haulers without covers.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My neighborhood is currently a food desert, and there's a campaign to open a food co-op. Right now they have a thing going on where if you get 5 new people to buy owner shares, you get a 90-minute massage. I keep bugging everyone I know to sign up, because that would be excellent.

That would be excellent. Also, I love co-ops.

Being super near grocery stores is something I don't think I could move away from. Visiting my sister they live a 10 minute drive or so from a grocery store and it seemed so ridiculous to have to drive that far!

I hate the grocery store that is down the street, but I end up going there more often than not anyway because I'm too lazy to go to the ones that are outside of town.

I live two miles from a grocery store and that seems ridiculously far! But I manage, because waterfront. Although we did suggest in the Specific Plan workshop that bringing a Trader Joe's or something into downtown would be a good idea.

Argh. I've been looking into all kinds of options for teams and roles. The door has been closed on a thing I was looking into here in Chicago, or at least the door won't be open until much later this year. I have an interview with Dublin in half an a hour. I'll just try to go into it without worrying if I get it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Without a car I am pretty much in a food desert- I have a small grocery store which is a 20 minute walk, but over a bridge not made for walking so much, a larger grocery store 15 minutes by bus (but the bus only runs once an hour), and Wegman's, the pinnacle of grocery stores, about an hour away by bus (they have only one store remaining within Rochester city limits-- all are now in the suburbs).

People without a car in my neighborhood have convenience stores for their groceries. There is a supermarket about a mile and a half away, but you have to walk over a complicated bridge/underpass thing that has to be negotiated.

We drive 15-20 minutes to a Meijer store b/c we like it best, but it would be excellent to have a co-op in the hood. Shit, we have 3 taco places, a bike co-op, a chicken feed store (okay, also general pet food and gardening stuff), and a dang microbrewery opening next week, but no grocery store. Something is wrong with that.
