I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Quick breakdown recovery, shrift.

And all good thoughts to your sister--and to you, Zen.

Health-ma for your sister, Zen.

Hang in there Shrift.

I woke up in the middle of the night because of another thunderstorm. I went in my spare room to have a look outside, and the rain was blowing straight in the open window. The covers on my bed, FOUR FEET from the window were wet. Fortunately, it hadn't been sitting for long, so I just dried up everything with a towel. But that is crazy rain.

I woke up realizing I'd forgotten a critical step in a project yesterday. Which means I get to redo everything I did yesterday. I love starting the day sending around mea culpas.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

But once it's done, Dana can ply me with alcohol and everything will be fine.

It will all be fine. Unpacking is a lot more fun than packing, and you're very well prepared, and there is no minor disaster that can't be fixed.

Oh, but hey! It revealed a bigger problem deep in th code THAT MAKES A SHITTON MORE WORK FOR ME.

I met my boss in the hall with "I CAN'T EVEN."

This week is awesome.

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

I want so badly to drop all my work on my boss tomorrow and drive across the state to see my sister.

I support this choice, Zen. It's a good option.

I mean, the bleeding stopped much faster than I thought it would after the incident with my big toe and the suitcase.

I'm going to leave work as early as I can to get everything ready. I'm just going to do what I need to do and keep breathing.
