Vacation! Hooray!
I just watched the Luther portion of the correspondent's dinner. Perfection.
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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Any thoughts of going anywhere nixed by the fact Freddie Gray's wake up the road from me. Traffic gets nutty for routine funerals, this one? Yeah.

Yay vacation, Jesse!
I ran the Doughnut Run this morning, and got a new personal record! Only by about 10 seconds, but still. I felt like I ran a lot more of it than usual, it was just that I was running slower? And the doughnut at the end tasted SO GOOD.
But now I have to fight inertia to go get anything done. I have another load of stuff to bring to Goodwill, and need an oil change. And a pedicure.

Woo, meara!
Looks like I can log in to citrix on my iPad but not my laptop. Which, yay that I can get the thing done I wanted to do, but boo that the problem with the laptop appears to be on my end so I'll need to figure that out somehow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am so lazy. I just spent about 20 minutes making sauerkraut, and another 20 minutes filling a barrel with last fall's leaves, and that really feels like enough!

I can't tell if I'm lazy today or maybe getting sick, but either way I don't want to do anything. And my work thing is not being as straightforward as I would like. Bah.

I'm alternating between work, internets, and moving furniture around my apartment like one of those tile games. I have a new sofa bed to put together but I need to clear out a bunch of space first.

I know that game well.
The thing I was hoping would be available by now just isn't. Oh well. Maybe tonight, maybe it will just have to wait for tomorrow morning anyway. I hate this end-of-month urgency that makes it seem as if it makes a huge difference if orders ship on Thursday or Friday when it only matters at all for our internal accounting.

The status is NOT quo.
Yay PR, meara!
I did nine miles this morning since I have a half marathon next weekend and am hurting now. I'm so out of shape compared to where I was before the injury, but at least I'm running again.
Now I need to be productive for the rest of th day. Shower, grocery store, and final project for my grad class. And grading. I'm grounded.

A highlight of my Uber shift was picking someone up from one of my dorms at BU (Shelton) and delivering her to Harvard (Science Center) where I'd taken classes at night. I crossed the Charles at least a dozen times, which never fails to make me happy, what with the boats and the crews and the runners and the skyline.
