We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, there were a couple of days of feeling terrible, don't worry.

Oh, good! WAIT. Not good!

I am hopeful that my weekend of actually no social plans will help. I really don't know how people have kids.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

When I woke up this morning, I couldn't find my glasses. My brand-new, expensive glasses. Left them in a bar last night. I had the same pair of glasses for over ten years, and now I've lost two pairs in the past couple months. Hopefully, they're still at the bar, but I won't find out until after work.

Yesterday, I had a rough therapy session, which makes me anxious, which makes me do stupid things, which makes me even more anxious. And we were discussing in therapy about how I need to stop beating myself up over things,and then I go and do something that seems to be an act of self-sabotage, just so that I can go on beating myself up over it. It's very frustrating.

That's rough, Tom. I hope the glasses are still there, and that you can be easy on yourself for leaving them either way.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

People forget things. All the time. You're a people, hence -- you did a people thing.

Can I tell you how many times I've searched frantically for my glasses when they were ON MY FACE? Or stepped into a shower with them on?

Everybody does that sort of thing, Tom. I left my regular glasses at home last week, which wouldn't have been a problem, except I was out after dark and had to drive home wearing my prescription sunglasses. That was fun!

Which reminds me, I probably need a new prescription. We just had benefits enrollment and I signed up for the vision plan, hopefully I can get a new pair of glasses.

And I once again came to work without my phone. I'm not expecting a call today, so I'll just try to manage without, I guess.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have a problem wherein the use of F in an internet acronym always means fuck. Thus when people tell me they are WFH I am taken aback for a minute

Before I knew what FTW meant, it'd remind me of WTF so I saw it as "Fuck The What?"

People forget things. All the time.

I've lost count of how many expensive umbrellas I've left on trains. Of course I never forget the cheap ones.

I need new glasses badly. I can't see the time on the cable box, my night vision is horrible, and I am getting headaches all the time. I have a pounder now.

And I just tried to go get coffee without my cup. This is gonna be an interesting day.
