Yep, in green, thanks for the affirmation
Had a serious meeting with my boss, upshot is good, but for categories of good that entail more work in the future.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The reward for doing good work is more work?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
In relationship to nothing, my brain has been active on the following:
2 people I went to college with, one my year, one a couple of years behind me, both just announced engagements. Normally this would send me into a tailspin of I am never getting married/broken/un-relationshipable, but for some reason am not. I am super happy for both of them. period. fullstop. I looked at both and said, huh, maybe hope for me.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm intellectually fascinated by why, without fail, every single year, my IBS flares like a bitch when my seasonal allergies get bad. Seriously, I wonder what the connection is, and it makes me want to get my research on.
But I am emotionally OVER THIS NONSENSE. Chill the fuck out, GI tract. Just chill.
Trying to figure out what to eat for dinner, and it looks like plain rice. Bah.

Teppy, there's plenty of internet on that! :)
Also, this (ETA: Which is not related, but is interesting):
People with migraine were twice as likely to also have IBS as people with tension headache. A total of 54 percent of those with migraine also had IBS, compared to 28 percent of those with tension headache. Of the participants with IBS, 38 also had migraine and 24 also had tension headache.

Right, like how is that motivating? I do wonder
Steph, I would suspect there's physiological explanation. I mean, aren't they both related to immune function? So maybe when your allergies are going off your intestinal lining has more problems with inflammation? And I think inflammation in the intestine is related to immune system disruption. But, uh, I would check actual research first and not rely on me, seeing as how I teach writing and not medicine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's a good reaction!
So, I had all kinds of stuff I was going to do today, not being at work, and I didn't do shit! I didn't even go to the movies! I did just go to a community meeting, which was good, and at least I made dinner and took out the trash, but yikes.

Dude, the modestly worse amount of snot from mild allergies wreaks havoc on my IBS-less guts, I can imagine full blown allergies and IBS could only be more vile.
I got my PTO payout. I think it is right? Until they mail be a stub, I won't be confident they didn't short me.
I need to get a new digital antenna, I'm getting interference when Loki sits on the coffe table. It's from the early days of digital hd and a cheap purchase. My neighbor must've rearranged her furniture.
