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

Yay family beach walk!

Even (especially) when you prioritize your needs over the wants of others, even when those others are your children.

Yes, this!

I keep telling myself that prioritizing getting exercise, spending time with my parents, and doing things I enjoy over getting my house/finances/life in order is okay. It's hard to really convince parts of myself.

I t heart Lexan. I mostly know it from water bottles, but love. We got some kind of fancy glass to cut glare over our ketubah, I can't remember now if it was less breakable...

Bullet-proof glass is usually two layers of glass with some kind polycarbonite in between, I think? Or used to be, maybe. I don't know why I would know that, so I have no idea how outdated that knowledge might be.

Also, whee, my new headphones have been delivered, I want to go home and try them out!

Also also, made Gold Level with Starbucks which seems like it should be exciting but does not actually get me anything yet. This is a lot more complicated than getting a free drink from my local coffee shop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We had the craziest hailstorm here! I've literally never seen an extended hail storm like that. And now the sky is blue.

Weather is crazy.

I guess I accidentally requested a new laptop, but at least I realized it before next week? It's not the worst mistake ever. I think I can allow it.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

BF just put on his extrication gloves to remove the rest of the broken glass. It took all I had not to cry in front of him. The print is all scratched up, and it's not available any more. Yes, I know it's silly, but that was my first piece of artwork.

-t, Gold comes in handy with the special offers. Use the app for the best experience. You also get a free drink or food item after every 12 purchase, and a personalized gold card.

It was the end times here early this morning with the weather but now the sun is shining and skies are blue.

shrift, if it's a work thing, then your new division might be happy that your old division is taking the overhead hit for the new equipment.

It's my fault for not realizing that I was requesting a laptop in my equipment request for my new desk in Mountain View. The request form really should have a place to indicate you don't need a computer rather than asking you to pick one, is what I'm saying.

Well, one of the cats ate the DSL data cable. And I have no idea where I'm going to get a new one because I don't even know what kind of cable it is because ATT doesn't tell you what kind of goddamn cable it is.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The print is all scratched up, and it's not available any more.

Ebay?

I swear to god that the universe is just throwing wrenches at me at this point. Ha ha, no internet at home because the cat ate it! What the hell.

Thanks, Maria! I do use the app. I'll have to pay attention to the offers now...

A ruined piece of irreplaceable art is absolutely cry-worthy. I'm so sorry.

Ha ha, no internet at home because the cat ate it!

I recognize that's an actual real problem, but that's hilarious.

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

The cat ate my internet! Sure, shrift, sure.

Window installation still continues apace. We are down to one guy who is doing the final framing and caulking. My new patio door is so nice. It is basic but the old one was a piece of crap. Having spackled all the holes around the windows, I have to wait before I can put the blinds and curtains back up.
