I can't make up my mind what I want to do vs what I should save my energy for, etc. things where I know I'd enjoy it, but it takes so much effort to get there..

After chilling most of the day with the kitten, and then running, met a friend for beer and food truck and board games. Now it's 845. I'm getting frozen custard. Do I go dance after this? Or save myself for tomorrow? If I go home I'll feel a little pathetic being home on a Saturday night but my foot hurts so maybe dancing isn't a good plan

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Anne, that looks like a blast! I wish there was one nearby.

I ran a hella slow loop in the hills this morning, then made some pie crust (prep for Father's Day peach pie). Then went out for cheese and wine. Why am I so tired?

Also, I went to the dentist just a few weeks ago, but I think I need to go back, I'm having a suspicious soreness on the left side of my mouth when I bite down. Bleargh.

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

Ugh meara, why are camera tickets so much more money than regular tickets? That's what I've found anyway. I call bullshit.

Also bullshit? I got a ticket for an illegal left turn (I'm blaming bad signage as I truly and honestly didn't see it). I got the ticket in March. It came due in early May, but when I went to take care of it, it still hadn't been uploaded into the computer system. So I had to go to the courthouse to get paper documentation that I held up my end of the bargain. I've been checking the website every week since and it STILL ISN'T THERE. So annoying!

Had a great time with friends tonight doing the Night Nation Run. It's a cross between a 5k and a dance party. Run a little, walk a little, dance a little. It was awesome.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Today's con report...was SWAMPED for most of the day, so I didn't get to wander much. I did talk with Brent Spiner. I saw Ralph Macchio from afar. That man is older than me but, at least from a distance, he still looks damn young.

The John Barrowman event I went to after the con was fantastic. Both his husband and parents were there. His parents are a total kick. John's accent would flip back and forth depending on if he was talking to us or to his parents. This introverted lady actually asked him a question. I also mentioned that I had been selling his photo ops all day. He asked if I had gotten one. When I said no, I had worked all day, he invited me up and took a selfie with me (it was a no photo event). I thought I was a hot mess but the pic came out great. So glad I went. The man is crazy, intelligent, and such an advocate for so many things.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Well that certainly did not cure me being a little in love with John Barrowman. The darling man!

I need to put in the ac before it gets unpleasant. I've been lying on the couch since 8, contemplating this. Yesterday was a little much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Coding and Sleeping

Feeling really down today. Spent a good part of the day cleaning yesterday, but the house is still a mess. It's hard for me to find any time to do a lot besides the routine household stuff of cooking, dishes, laundry, and such. The yard needs work too, but my back is hurt and I don't handle the heat well and it's super hot outside. I'm taking a lot of criticism at home, been feeling some pressure at work, got a letter from the IRS saying I owe them $1,800 (which doesn't look to be true, but that's another thing I don't have time to deal with), can't seem to get a break financially (mostly because of medical stuff which is also the IRS problem), and I dunno, I feel like I can't take much more. Nothing I can really do about it though.
