OK, this is probably going to sound wrong, but: sometimes I'm glad to be single because it means I have to take care of everything myself. My mother's cousin is spending the night (because they have an early flight in the morning and she lives in Rhode Island), and her husband printed out her boarding pass for her! Meanwhile, my mother (married, but you know) is pulling hers up on her phone. My mother, the technophobe!
Willow: Yikes. Imagine the things...Buffy: No! Stop imagining! All of you! Xander: Already got the visual.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Jesse, what I got out of that is how RI is that? An early flight means you must stay overnight because it's just so far.

Of course. And I think their flight is at like 9. Ha!

Every time I'm visiting family in Providence they ask if we're staying overnight somewhere.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm not. It didn't look that interesting in previews, but the reviews I've read have been excellent. Maybe I'll mainline it after the season airs.
It doesn't start as strong, but it's become pretty compelling.

And you never have to argue about how it gets done! Or that it's not getting done quickly enough.
The Stanley Cup Playoffs start on Wednesday. I don't know how I'm supposed to work with all the hockey I need to be watching.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I feel like I deserve an adulting medal today. I forced myself to learn new things at work and did it cheerfully! When I got home I paid the bills, triaged email, tidied the house for an hour in preparation for the maid service coming to clean it tomorrow, read for about half an hour...and WROTE. Wrote for the first time since I came down with the flu over two weeks ago.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
That's hilarious, meanwhile, my family in IN asked me if we would drive up or fly if we came this summer, letting me know it can be driven in one day. Over 1000 miles, 1 day, because we all grew up in th SW and that's how we do.

I think that way out west. I do NOT think that way out east. It's kinda funny.
