Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I just tried to like and favorite a bunch of your posts - but at least I didn't try inserting an emoji!

I want to post the screaming unicorn sticker ALL THE TIME here.

I have complicated feelings about home ownership, because it isn't a house that I picked; I fell in love with a guy who (seriously) impulse-bought a house. I would never, EVER, have bought this house. It has so many issues. Though I did luck out SO MUCH in terms of neighborhood.

Things I have been succeeding at this week: falling up stairs, feeling self conscious wearing lipstick, putting cocktail contents on the floor rather than in my mouth hole, and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Yikes, Shrift!

My unhealthy coping mechanism tonight has been too much wine, too many cookies, and too many episodes of Steven Universe.

Shockingly enough, Dad appears to be recovering a bit. He's not at 100%, but he's maybe at 70% of where he was last week, which is far better than he was over the weekend. He's doing so well the hospital is considering discharging him tomorrow or Thursday.

Thanks for all the good thoughts & support, which are not wasted, as I'm sure I will need them again in a month or two...

That sounds like a perfect day.

Yikes, Shrift!

It's mostly a comedy of errors (and bruises) because work continues to proliferate, and staying up too late reading is one of my unhealthy coping mechanisms. Along with impulse purchases, like how I signed up for Birchbox.

I'm glad you indulged.

Do they send you a new Birch tree weekly? That seems like more than you have yard for.

That's great! I hope he stays on this trajectory.

Coding and Sleeping

Owning a house does mean a lot of extra expenses and work, but the trade-off is that you're building equity. I think it makes sense for some and doesn't make sense for some. Now that our house is paid off, I'm glad we bought, but there will be some big expenses coming up (like the driveway, ugh).

Stuck in the circular hell of "I'm sorry, we don't have an account matching this id info" and "I'm sorry, this id info is already associated with an account" thanks to the fucking company changing hand twice in the past 6 months. Gonna have to fucking call.

I hate everything.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Despite having taken a pill and slept for 11 hours, I still have a migraine. And a meeting I can't skip.
