I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

I made a peach-blueberry pie. Also a great life choice. Especially since this means I get -- wait for it! -- drum-roll please -- ratatatatatat! --

PIE FOR BREAKFAST!

Which is the greatest.

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.

e.g. Donald Trump - I think that is a good way to measure it. When you think you are a loser or fuck up compare yourself with the Donald and come to your senses.

I saw this idea on tumblr - It is abhorrent that the human cesspool that is Donald Trump gets to feel good about himself, but you don't, Gudanov. Think on that a bit.

Mmmm, I want pie for breakfast! Excellent life choice.

I am a better human than Donald Trump. Hella mantra, the downside of course bringing Trump to mind.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wish I had pie for breakfast!

Or watch something like Bar Rescue or Border Security. When I'm torturing myself about fucking up, it does provide perspective.

Oh man, that's the truth. My mother has suggested that also why I watch Intervention and Botched -- I have made some really, really good life choices.

Woke up too early, assisted by my cat, got some stuff done around the house and still made it to work before they unlocked the door at 8. Today should be amazing.

Donald Trump is well on his way to becoming president, surging in the polls every day (it's gone from a solid Hillary lead to a toss up now), and I just make mistakes that make people angry.

She is up in the polls! A lot! (yes, I check obsessively daily)

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

I am choosing not to have pie for breakfast, even though I have three kinds of pie in the freezer. Got my heart set on a bagel.

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

I have started my morning by attempting origami with toilet paper. The things you do for GISHWHES. So far, it isn't too bad, though the paper has some stretch to it, so it makes some folds challenging.

Gud, I'm sorry you feel crappy and I too am glad you are seeing a therapist.

I got 3 new Pokemon over dinner. Where we went was a Pokespot and they had just put out a lure. YAY!

I know this feeling. Also, you had to log back in because they did an upgrade. There are some new features.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

We took a walk before dinner yesterday specifically so I could hit up all the Pokestops* at all the businesses/restaurants (and, in one case, a crosswalk) in our neighborhood (there are A LOT; it's a vast sea of blue cubes all up and down the main street through the neighborhood)...and then the app stopped responding and wouldn't log me in when I restarted it. I said to Tim, "You mean NOW I'm just talking a walk for my HEALTH? Preposterous!" I did get almost 10,000 steps, though, which is cool. (Except I lost about a mile that could have gone towards hatching an egg. Annoying.)

*I get more excited about getting Pokeballs at the Pokestops than I do about actually catching Pokemon. I know that's not the point of the game, but I don't care.
