You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Because books.

I like something a little warmer than Plummy, I think.

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

There was a Telsa Model S parked outside with the license plate “L8TR OPEC”.

This is what I need to do:

    • Fold laundry
    • Do another load of laundry
    • Dishes
    • Put away my crap
    • Take out trash
    • Pack my bags

And I need to do all this by 4pm, so that I can go see Ant-Man.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, I should have done laundry already.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I did three loads yesterday and now need to fold all mine and put it away.

E still needs to get his one load done for the week along with swiffering the kitchen. He is getting horrible about doing his chores. I offered him $$ yesterday to wash and vacuum car and he chose to sit on his ass.

I'm using Flywheel to get a cab to the airport.

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

I like Plummy. Peacock Plume and Cloudburst both look fine and might be easier to decorate around, but I can't tell the difference between them so perhaps my opinion should be dismissed out of hand.

Oh happy day, I found some Orajel in a drawer!

I have a ridiculous amount of stuff to do, especially since I spent all day yesterday being social and having fun and not being home much less cleaning house. So of course I only want to park myself on the couch and catch up on Last Tango in Halifax. At the very least I need to get the gardening tools my dad gave me (he has decided that he is not going to do things like dig holes any more, he will hire younger people to do that for him if it needs to be done, so he gave me his shovels and suchlike) out of the car because I don't think that's the image I want to project, driving around with hoes in the backseat.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Getting my kids to do their chores is always a bit of a chore too, msbelle.

Today is muggy and kinda gross, which goes with summer rain in LA, but it doesn't look like it'll rain again. Cody is taking the kids to a thing soon, I should try to write today.

Flying out of SFO is so much more pleasant than O'Hare, man. Free WiFi, outlets to charge electronics, no 24 hour news cycle on the TV. I'll grab something from the sushi & noodle place before I board. Also, I forgot that I got Silver status on Virgin America, so free bag check and priority boarding.

Burrell, our local forecast says it's supposed to be sunny today but rain all night into tomorrow morning, for what it's worth.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I should be cleaning or making food for the week ahead. Instead I have an Amazon box, a towel, a ping pong ball, and a playful cat. The cat definitely wins.
