Did they? That's pretty silly.
ETA: that was inre: Sherlock, not Connie. I totally get where you're coming from, Connie. Part of the problem, I think, is that our time is not treated as valuable in many many circumstances.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, it was on in the winter, at least. Edit: OK, the website does have Sherlock under Mystery, so that's something.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Connie, I wrestle with the Mental Puritans m/ a lot, too. I counter by telling them that I'm contributing to the local economy. Wish I could justify hiring house cleaners!

Grinding done. Acid wash done. Showered off an insane amount of grime. Need to scrub down with mineral spirits at some point tonight. Then tomorrow, painting surfaces of splits, clamping and bolting. And then final painting.
And my house needs cleaning and I think maybe I can't. Though painting won't take long. But my hands are pretty shaky now, so I'm not sure how much more they can take.

Excellent point! Plus by wearing nice slacks instead of the jeans I'm permitted to by the revised dress code, I look like a classier employee.

Connie, double win!

Loki agrees with you, Connie. He's tucked under my chin. Well, as much tucked as a cat who reaches down my whole torso can be.

Successful Parenting Gambits On A No-Plans Labor Day:
1. Take Matilda with me grocery shopping. Take Muni to enhance adventure element. Let her ride under the shopping car for Indiana Jones stuntman effect.
2. Stop at Out Of The Closet near Safeway and score a big sketchbook with quality drawing paper for only fifty cents.
3. Get two-for-one coupon for Jamba Juice outside Safeway. No line. Smoothie for her, fresh squeezed juice mix Citrus Blast (OJ, Apple, pineapple ginger) for me.
4. Buy chicken tenders at hot counter at Safeway. Lunch for Matilda: hand her chicken tenders.
5. Swing by Davi's house on the way home to see if maybe she or her family are around just dying for a playdate. Find Davi's Dad and brother poking around in the garage. Initiate playdate! Matilda off to play with Davi for the next three hours. Woot!
