Our wings are not tired.

Ick, it does sound like a bridge best burned.

I am avoiding FB because hanging out there is going to lead me to just say outright that if you are voting for Trump just unfriend me now because I just can't deal. Defaming the Khan family, defending Trump's 2nd Amendment bullshit. My tolerance is at an all time low. And I am pretty damn tolerant.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm lucky in that my only person posting Trump stuff on my feed is my cousin, but he's developmentally disabled so I let it slide. Oh, and one work acquaintance of my DH's. I do not answer her, except if I see something racist, which hasn't happened since basically everyone she knows piled on her about it a year or so ago.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The weird thing is, this dude isn't posting Trump stuff, just easily disproven anti-Hillary stuff that's misogynistic as hell. And yet he thinks *I'm* going to be down with that?

For someone who imagines we're closer friends than we actually are, he doesn't know me at all if he thinks that's going to fly.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Someone on a friend's page (who is not really a friend) had a whole rant about how Hillary isn't a strong woman, she's a bitch, and we've all known bitches, and nothing's going to get done with a bitch in charge.

Which I thought was a distressingly gendered attack for one woman to post and another woman to agree with. At least they both hate Trump.

Pool was full of assholes and then one of my poolfriends' kids barfed in the pool. And this is the best mood I've been in today.

I'm hungry, but we're supposed to have dinner with the dog-owning neighbors, which I don't really want to do, because 1) people I don't really know and 2) I don't think well of the way they treat their dog. But I'm hungry. But I'm hoping if it gets late enough, we won't have to go.

I talked with my project manager and was basically told to take it as a joke.

I think that's only a joke you get to have with a close Work Friend.

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

Me too, shrift. Me too. I'm over it for now. I did tell my manager and he was shocked but deferred to my project manager. Which I get based on how our organization works.

In other news, I went to hang a few shelves next to my desk and the wall I wanted to put the long one on isn't...flat? When I put the shelf against the wall to mark where I need to drill pilot holes, both ends touched the wall, but the middle of the shelf is almost a full inch from the wall. The shelf isn't bowed...just the wall. So that isn't happening.

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.
