'Serenity'
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.
I used to think that I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't have a job
I come from a long line of people who think like that, and I somehow got the "wants to go live on the side of a mountain with a bunch of hippies" side of the motivation gene pool.
Sadly, I also got the "wants to be highly stable" thing from the workaholic side, and the two are not matchy.
Timelies all!
I went to Macy's after work to look for a new outfit for the Jewish Holidays. Usually that is an exercise in frustration for a variety of reasons. Amazingly, I found a suit that is a)appropriate to wear to synagogue b) has a skirt, not pants and c) is in a color I like. I ended up paying $75 for something was originally $200. Best of all, the whole thing took 15 minutes!
Yay, Sheryl!
On the train home they said they were going to stop the train due to high winds. They ended up not having to do that, but I got off at Evanston and had to wait 20 minutes in the station stairwell until the storm passed. Then I got home and found water all over the floor--I guess I should have done a better job sealing the gaps around my air conditioner.
That is excellent shopping~fu!
That was shopping-fu, Sheryl. Sometimes it just happens.
Apropos of almost nothing, I must have had a small nose-bleed last night, because today inside my nostril there's a scab. Not painful... just stiff and uncomfortable and keeps making me think my nose is running. You have no idea how much self-restraint it takes me not to go excavating after it, because that's just going to set off the nosebleed again I think.
You'd be surprised how often one wrinkles one's nose in the course of an ordinary day, which sets off the whole cycle of discomfort. Feh.
Found a gorgeous new incense burner while outing and abouting today.
Bought yarn to make faux-son a scarf, discovered that the dentist who I sent a Paid In Full check that hasn't cashed yet is out of business, and went to see Guardians of the Galaxy. Much fun, first scene wasn't too bad, but my main take away from it was--Howard the Duck???
And in a five-minute conversation, my sister had me nearly in tears over not understanding WHY I'm going Walden for a week, and what brought this on, and won't I miss talking to my friends and family, and SHE loves talking to us every day and watches tv to relax, and what will I replace that social interaction with and what am I going to DO? OMG woman have you met me. I didn't try to explain. I finally just said YES I love talking to my family and hanging out with my friends but I'm Not Gonna Do It for a week, okay?! Good grief. I think I was snappy and she's probably all hurt, but damn. I actually thought she'd understand. Luckily she will be in Arizona next week.
It may be time to pull out the "I must retreat from the world for a time to rebuild my mystic powers. Yes, I am Odin. It's time for the Odinsleep."
ION, the birds are singing, the sun is out, it's raining. It's lovely.

I love it when that happens.
