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 look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

Yep.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I spent the entire day sitting next to the window (with the occasional lap cat) listening to the rain and reading. Bliss.

Friday was the last spending day of the fiscal year and my equipment budget had just enough for me to get a new desk. This is something I do need, but now it will be arriving when I'm in the middle of managing load-in for two shows at the same time. Meep.

We had a "female energy presence" named Gillian on the ghost walk yesterday

I find this hilarious for some reason.

Also - have you gotten any info on that house you were asking about on tumblr? I have the address but not floor plans, if that might be helpful.

I did get a bit of info -- mostly that it's a private residence, so finding floor plans is not really going to happen. Of course, after I made that post, Pete was all "Do you need floor plans drawn up? I love doing that sort of thing! Why didn't you ask me?!" Because you're BUSY, dear, and I didn't want to pester you.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I went to a corporate volunteer thing yesterday (bagging food for food banks). We were so efficient that they set us home early so the next shifts would have something to do. I got all my weekend chores except for vacuuming done, which means today is looking pretty lazy. I feel autumnal, event though temps are still in the 80s, so I'll probably set a pot roast going in the slow cooker. (That always says fall food to me.) But for now I'm trapped under cat.

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

Oh, good, I hoped the ghost walk thing would amuse.

The house is visible on google street view from two sides, that's something, and I came across some kind of film made by high school students that is supposed to feature it in some way but I didn't watch enough of it to tell how.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Cincinnati to Chicago is $700. The hell?

That's why I drove to Indy last month. Same ridiculous fare.
