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

So much has happened since I checked in last! Congrats to Sheryl and Gary on your new baby! So happy for you. So glad you are okay, dcp, and that they found the problem. Safe travels, Kat! Wish you could teleport home. Best luck, Maria. JZ, I can't even. So sorry about your bad news, msbelle. And Dana, I'm sorry.

I need to get my butt into the shower since my older dog has a vet appointment to get stitches out in 35 minutes. The vet is only five minute away, which makes me lazy and slow.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I keep using the number sequence in Lost as test data in my code's unit tests just to see if anyone ever notices.

Nice.

The Lafayette shooting is horrible. Though a small part of me is wondering, why don't we grieve the (black) lives lost last week, month, year in various shootings? [ETA: in New Orleans] Where's Jindal for that? Where are their prayers?

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

That's funny, Gud.

Periodontist says I have healthy gums and a nice set of teeth and we can totally save the broken one. Yay! Waiting to see if my insurance will let us schedule the surgery for later today.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Nora, don't you read the comments on NOLA.com? Because black people are thugs who just sponge off the government and deserve what they get.

Fricking Jindal.

(I am in a foul mood because I'm in yet another unproductive meeting where we're going in circles.)

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

Trying to arrange for when movers can come and pack my stuff. If they're available, I may end up missing most of Friday at VividCon because I can't really see packing up earlier than that. I don't want to sleep on a couch in the living room because the cats wouldn't leave me alone, and also the couches are covered in cat hair and I am allergic.

They're giving me a 5-30 day spread of when my crap will be delivered. Which means I could end up in a hotel/AirBNB situation until I can get a couch delivered or an air bed to sleep on.

Why so complicated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Today was a confusing day at my office -- they are reconfiguring space, so the general word went out that people in that area had the day off, and there was a rumor that everyone else had a half day, but that wasn't really reinforced. So a lot of people were just out, but people who were in seemed all in? Anyway, I left at 3, which I think was OK? Unclear. Whatever.

That is weird, Jesse!

I took the train to my meeting and walked a ways...and the doctor is running at least 20 minutes late. Ugh. Want my weekend to start!!!!

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

Ugh shrift, 3 weeks seems like an awful lot of wiggle room on their part.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Can you have them pack everything but your bed? You're probably going to want to toss all of your bedding into a dishpack or wardrobe box so that you can pull it out as soon as your stuff is delivered. So you could pack that one box, and then the movers deal with your bed.
