When am I gonna learn that if I stretch out on the floor at 11:30 at night (to stretch), a cat will inevitably climb on me, inevitably I will say ' ok, for a minute' and then I'll wake up at 4 am, with all the lights on, stiff and with carpet imprints?

Happens.every.time.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

So I was informed by a mechanic in NJ that I needed a new central exhaust pipe but it wasn't urgent and I was safe to drive. Knowing my dads mechanic was way cheaper, I put off re repair until I got to NH. I'm informed that my central drive shaft is loose and my car is unsafe to drive! It's not like I haven't had four mechanics looking under my car over the past four months. They caught: some rust, a missing sway bar, the exhaust pipe, and the exhaust pipe and finally the drive shaft.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I'm watching Season 1 of Project Greenlight (NB: Not the most relaxing choice to do work to!), and they are standing around arguing about how they are wasting Magic Hour setting stuff up, and honestly? Magic Hour is real -- the documentary footage of the people arguing looking great.

I'm doing some onerous tasks this afternoon. I found a salon and made an apartment in a couple of weeks. I ran some errands and went to the post office to mail a Memento DVD back to my old roommate. I found two copies when I unpacked and her DVD collection was kind of pathetic once I'd packed mine. Then I called my insurance company because my prescription refill request got a weird insurance hold, but it turns out there's nothing wrong with my insurance so now I get to call the pharmacy.

I'm also trying to figure out if I can fly to Michigan for the weekend from the Kitchener-Waterloo/Toronto area. It turns out that it's very expensive and may involve multiple connections. REGIONAL FLIGHTS, WTF is wrong with you?

That can be really annoying, shrift, good luck.

I ate too much gooey butter cake and feel ill. When will I learn??

I can't decide what to do with my hair. It's in a very awkward growing out phase...

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

That Too Much Cake is a problem is very hard to really learn.

Yesterday I planned on Getting Stuff Done today but I pretty much gave up on that before I got out of bed this morning. Finishing up the Watching Scifi with Pinot Blanc portion of the day and moving on to Watching SYTYCD with Chardonnay. Been a while since I had a real Day of Rest, I think I need it. And I have too much wine. Happens.

Glad other people are getting some onerous tasks done since I am clearly not.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am getting grading done, but the laundry monsters are laughing at my feeble attempts to placate them. DH just took the kids to the local pool to do cannonballs off the diving board. I would so join you-t on the wine drinking, but we have a school event to go to tonight and I feel the need to at least arrive there completely sober.

My attempts to keep my kids on top of homework have also been kind of pathetic. Son finished his, but my 7th grader still has a Current Event to write up and a math sheet to finish.

Ahahaha, I'm sure you're familiar with the "there should be a way to get where I want to go without connecting through LaGuardia" problem.

I slept in super late and I'm only doing a couple hours of onerousing before I become one with the couch and marathon more Sense8.

I was at the beach this morning, but I still need to do some more work, because tomorrow is RI with family. Oy.
