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

Cool, msbelle.

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.

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

The reward for doing good work is more work?

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.

I am super happy for both of them. period. fullstop. I looked at both and said, huh, maybe hope for me.

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.

Today was another narcoleptic day. Luckily work has been steady but no crazy deadlines, so a surprise nap isn't causing problems. Yet.

Because books.

Jenny Slate is also the creator of Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, which is adorable and awesome. But I'm pretty sure she's married to, I think, her co-creator of that.

Supposedly they split up not that long ago (the story broke at the start of the month).

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I am listening to Lin-Manuel Miranda give a commencement speech at Penn. I'm a loser.

I'm also pissed about something work related and stupid.

BUT I did get to the bank to change the signers so that my GS account works out for the year.
