Feeling better now, Connie?
Much, thank you. Circumstances are not improved by it being probably the last really hot day of summer, high 90s. I am so looking forward to doing my decluttering work in 20-degree cooler weather.
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It cooled off a lot here, thank goodness, I don't think we even broke 90 today. Which means I should have been doing yard work in the relative cool, but OH WELL. Supposed to be not so hot tomorrow, as well, maybe I can do some then.

REGIONAL FLIGHTS, WTF is wrong with you?
Cincinnati to Chicago is $700. The hell?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh man, I just realized what I thought was an impromptu purchase the other day (Starbucks mango iced black tea) was predicated by the full page glossy ads I've been seeing in Flipboard for the past month. I am exposed to so much less advertising than I used to be, and I think that has made me more vulnerable to the little I do see.

That does sound pretty delicious, though.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

When the Aussie dollar peaked in value I think I could've got to Chicago for less than that.

I went to the market solo, ran my errands, picked up a dowel rod, swam 2+ miles, vacuumed and mopped the house, reengineered the catch tray on the birdfeeder and spray painted the dowel. There was a 2 hr layabout in there, but still.
Tomorrow, I need to cut the dowel and use it to replace the one on the tray table that busted. And I'd like to purchase something like this for the spare bedroom, to store spare linens and things. Rather than Rubbermaid. [link]

I just spent so much money at value village that the checkout lady gave me 30% off. Happy birthday to me!! A couple eshakti dresses, a couple other dresses, and a bunch of shirts...$100 after the discount!!
Now I am treating myself to Peruvian chicken, which I haven't had in forever because I didn't know it was here!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I made a really good start on doing stuff today. I went and got some blood tests done, and then went to Tjs without spending too much money, both before 10, but then I came home, and now it's 12 hours later.
I did finish the first season of Killjoys though.

I worked today, since it's my busy part of the month. And my baseline anxiety level has spiked back up over the last couple of days (not in response to anything bad; just free-floating anxiety). Today it ratcheted up so bad that I took an Ativan and then lost about 3 hours in an Ativan haze playing games on my phone.
