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.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.

Going Walden!
If you follow Thoreau's example, you will cheat a lot but not mention things like dinner at your mother's in your book.

Thoreau was a big cheater. My biggest temptation will be the Internet. But I won't cheat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, my mother suggested that people should just not take nude pictures on digital devices. That was disappointing.

Well, if dinner with his family is like how mine can be, it can be its own quiet desperation, but, no it's not living off the fat of the land and etc.

Build back on schedule. I'm ok with this. Problem was a human error in config that once identified, explained everything. I got enough done I'm ok with it, just tired. I don't want to have expectations set that 2 days of panicked testing is acceptable. It's not.
I'm missing(or missed) 2 things I wanted to at least drop by tonight because I just can't people anymore. After a three day week. Sigh.
I'd offer to discuss with your mom, but I think I'm too tired....

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That's a slippery slope, mom of Jesse. Very, very slippery.
The Cork Lounge may be a wonderful place, but since I've only been there for wakes I'm not feeling the love.

I'd discuss it with your mom, Jesse, but I've got to get packed for Vermont.
