Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

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

I went to yoga at 8:30 and came back to find we're going with another realtor, and she wants to bring a group of potential investors to look at the house Tuesday.

Now our house is basically clean, but we've been trying to declutter so my office is a crazy full dirty room, so my relaxing Sunday will be spent working on it like crazy, and doing laundry, and doing any other stuff I have time for. Dan will help, of course, but then I get to spend most of tomorrow deeper cleaning like a mofo.

(deep breath) At least the office will be mostly done.

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 woke up at 8:00 after not being able to get to sleep until 1:30. I went to Wrigleyville to have breakfast with Miriam and she told me the horrible news that Gay Mart has closed! Sad now.

I dragged some Buffistas there during the first f2f so some of you might remember it.

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

Duck and pork tenderloin pulled out of freezer to thaw, breakfast made and eaten, one round of dishes washed, and (I'm proud of this one) shelf full of vases moved to make room for mason jars. Productivity probably on hold for duration of football, but maybe I can do stuff during the ads...

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

That's where Jon B got his silver jacket, right?

The whole "America's Sweetheart Loses Loving Husband to Dark Temptress" narrative.

My recollection from the era is that it was Jennifer's hairdo that was America's Sweetheart prior to the breakup.

I dragged some Buffistas there during the first f2f so some of you might remember it.

Wasn't that the outing where we serendipitously ran into Sumi on the way there?

Washed my car. And the laundry is done.

And goddamned, I have no idea why the front yards on this side of the street breed so many mosquitos. It's not as if we have pooling water or swamps.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Crap, I did so much yesterday that today I've basically... gone for a walk and folded some laundry. Must. Finish. Story. And read a book for book club on Thursday. And clean my house so I can host book club on Thursday. Yikes.

OK, gym bag is packed, including wear-to-office clothes, and stashed by the door. I think anything else I get done today will be gravy (haven't made it to the gym in too long). And it's cool enough that I think I can go for a run as soon as this game is over.

It is! And where Amych got her flamey shoes.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I'm thinking about buying a Sodastream. Mainly for fizzy water, because I thought I wasn't giving Nestle Waters money but it turns out they own or import a ton of brands. Ugh.

I'm going to pull my duvet out of the dryer, and then I guess it's Target time.

Jilli, did you ever get your Beetlejuice gear?
