Oh, Mac. I admire your hustle, kid, but you need a better, more sustainable business model.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Doing a clearly wrong thing is never gonna be ok with me. I am Capital P Puritanical with what is right. Selling homework ain't it.

Dear god, I am so impatient to be in my new place, to be sitting in my new reading chair, music on low, with the first snowstorm of the season slowly piling up on my balcony, and me not having to worry about managing it. I've been longing for this my entire life.
When do you move, Connie?

I sign the lease next weekend, then begins the process of actually physically moving things. I give up responsibility for the old place on Halloween, but I figure I'll be sleeping at the new place mid-month. I just have this absolute terror of the furnace in the old place blowing up the first time it starts up every year. It's supposed to be in the 30s tomorrow night, and the thermostat doesn't actually turn off so the thing will turn on if it gets cold enough.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
THat is so exciting, Connie! I am thrilled for you.

Gotta learn to work within existing regulations and the standards of the community. And remember that Mom is always a stakeholder.

Mac. Really.
Dear god, I don't want to be coming down with a cold. But one side of my face is producing a ridiculous amount of snot since about noon today. Two days after a neighborhood get together, including teachers, odds not in my favor.

Our wings are not tired.
Mac Mac Mac. Now let's see if we can channel that ambition.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think I've found the episode where the GBBO people lost their collective minds. "Make a fancy cake! 3D! From vegetables! And no dairy!"

Oh mac. On the bright side, he's doing homework good enough to sell! Now he just needs to figure out that the more sustainable business plan is the grind, rather than the flashier route to riches. (Donald Trump is NOT a role model, mac!)
I left work early mostly because fuck that, and I am pretty pleased with my decision.
So much this. I was in training for the last three days, and then at 8 am I got a crown. So I have no shame about leaving the office at 3:30, and taking a nice long nap when I got home.
Now I need to do laundry. Possibly drink a beer while reading on the porch; it's supposed to be really warm this weekend.
