It's weird to think about different paths in life sometimes. A few years ago, I saw an old coworker. We were both about six months into dating someone, and both thought it was about to be some kind of turning point. I broke up with mine, she married hers and is about to have their second kid! Not that I wanted to marry that guy.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm watching the Great British Bake Off. Even though I've seen this one. Don't care. Can't wait.

I find GBBO to be excellent for rewatching.

And yet another vivid dream, but this one involved someone who was lost, I think.
Roommate's cat likes to sleep with me. In my dream, I wanted to roll over, but something was crowding my legs. I muttered at the cat to move, and I realized the cat was against my hip. My dream told me there was a French bulldog named Berenice sleeping on my legs, and she was very peeved at having to move.
I have never met a French bulldog in real life, much less one named Berenice. I told her I was pleased to make her acquaintance, but if she wanted to share the bed she was going to have to let me roll over.
Brains are odd.

Our wings are not tired.
We were going to have a holiday gathering here today but the weather is funky and people are tired and just wanna chill so we cancelled. Instead of cleaning the house and shopping and cooking I am still sitting here in my jammies at 2 PM with dishes in the sink. I have done zero work on my many office projects either. I am sloth. I have also spent an appalling amount of time browsing Facebook which has been an emotional roller coaster of rage, optimism, depression, delight, and a dozen other feels.
I really need to do something productive. I think I shall start with a swim while it isn't storming.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just saw a play about that. All the possible paths from a given moment in a relationship. Constellations. I recommend it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Woke to the annual reading of the Declaration of Independence. Now heading to the pool. Barely awake. Ugh.

I think that qualified as a hate swim.
