We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm not doing shit today, apparently. I guess I needed it?

The CSA I'm doing this year drops off across the street from my house, which is great, but they do it on Tuesday, which I kind of hate. One year I had one on Friday, which made it tough to have after-work plans, but meant that I dealt with everything right away on Saturday. I've actually done pretty well this week.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I feel like I did a bunch yesterday (even if it was dance class, a movie, and hanging with friends) so am being lazy now. Though I should do some laundry.

Yeah, today I'm mostly just flying across the country, although I'll probably do laundry when I get home.

I have vacuumed or smashed so many flies, it is creeping me out. No idea their source, I've cleaned everything out.

Mopping, right. Up next.

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

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 can see the clouds already gathering, but it's still mostly blue skies where I am. But there are more gray clouds to the east, where you live. So okay, I can believe that there will be rain tonight somewhere in the LA basin.

So my sister completely messed up our summer camp plans and then backed out of vacation. I'm very annoyed but trying (and so far succeeding) in not getting angry. It'll be fine I'm sure. I just need to readjust my expectations and things tend to work out fine.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

IIRC, juliana has something very close to Plummy in her living room (the whole thing, not just one wall) and it looks great.

So now you've gotten strong recommendations from everyone for all three colors for a metric shitton of different reasons. Possibly we are the opposite of helpful.

I had a revelation regarding cleaning out the house: this is not maintenance, this not ongoing drudgery, this is one-and-done, with clear space left behind that makes me happy to look at. Plus I'm finding cool stuff: SCA garb I never got to wear because of stuff and which will be perfect for an event later this year that I wasn't sure I'd have presentable garb for, my Perky Goth t-shirt, books I was thinking I'd need to re-buy, tens of dollars in change (he liked just emptying his pockets and seeing where it landed).

I caught myself looking forward to an hour of digging into the bottom of the closet.
