Go, msbelle! You're getting shit done! You're meeting your goddamn calorie goal like a boss!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Go msbelle! You are accomplishing a lot!
I, on the other hand, have had enough of today and am going to watch TV and drink wine for a while. And not think about how much stuff I have to do tomorrow before I leave early to go the doctor. Maybe it just won't get done, that's probably okay.

I intended to leave work a while ago to run errands, but then some shit broke and now I'm going to have a beer with some coworkers because traffic is super terrible.

I got my first paycheck from the new contract! Except they didn't manage to set up the 403(b) deduction in time. Granted, I got the paperwork in last Thursday morning, unaware that since it was paper checks this run, they were actually processing them last Friday. I'll look into a onetime extra contribution in the next or later paycheck.
Gotta call water company, pretty sure I'm overpaying since new meter. Sigh. It's an epidemic here, this is gonna be fun and doubtful I can get refunded. Still haven't reinitiated roofer calls. Work is batshit insane.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Getting it done, msbelle!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I am allergic to All The Pollens And Also Mold, but the real kicker is dust mites because they live on my freaking skin*. So yeah, seasonal allergies, but also allergies to my actual own skin which is all the time.
*Technically on everyone's skin, not just mine. I am not an ecological preserve for dust mites.
A/C = yes please. For many years we were so proud of getting by with just the ceiling fans. And then just the one window unit in the baby's room. And then just window units in the bedrooms. And then last summer I said fuck this and I went to Costco and bought a big-ass window unit for the living/dining/kitchen and OMGHELLYES. The new house has central air, so we're leaving the window units in for the buyer, if they want them.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
See, I assume that the climate of NYC is, in general, a lot like Cincinnati (I was in NYC for the 4th of July where half the damn city got heatstroke, so you can't fool me), so I am always blown away at people not having a/c. Although people here don't have it, too, so really I've just sold my soul to central air. Happily.

All right, I had some beers and socialized with coworkers and their dogs, and now I'm finally headed home. Errands will get done tomorrow, I guess. Oh, but I do need to stop at the grocery store for milk.
Not having central air anymore is still pretty weird.
