See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Poking my head in to say, look at this! [link]

Meh.

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

More office news: I have assured George, who came second, that there is no shame in having lost to a six-year old. After all, he's a fairly bright six-year old. Oh, and one of the Operations staff (who won the comp for the last four years running, and after a strong late showing, finished just one tip behind Ryan) made him a certificate proclaiming him to be the winner of the tipping comp. the little boy was all smiles when he received it.

More news, almost as momentous: Biyi's parents' permanent residency has been approved! They may now travel freely between China and Australia, which both share the honor of having been the subject of a Discworld novel. I'm sure that's significant somehow.

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

I'm awake. And drinking coffee. And contemplating yard work. Ugh. But last outdoor swim of the season today!

It would appear that the big obstacle between me and gym-before-work is needing to get dressed twice. Choosing two outfits. Not that my gym nor my work are particularly fashion-conscious places, but this is a particular bugbear of mine.

It seems like something I could figure out a way to overcome, but I don't know if it'll happen today.

OTOH, leisurely breakfast and coffee, very pleasant.

It must be pear season. I got pears in my box from the farm last week and my grocery delivery threw in a bag of pears as complimentary samples. Delicious.

An homage?

I kinda miss the blinky under construction icons.

Oh shit. I have a cat on me.

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

Timelies all!

Ugh. Woke up a couple times with stomach/abdominal pain. It seems to come and go. My back and legs hurt as well.

I hate changing clothes, especially for a short period of time. I have a fat, ungainly body, which is amply demonstrated as I flail around covering it up for public non-consumption.

I cannot pin down why deciding what I'm going to wear is such a chore for me, but part of it is that I have to consider, at least a little bit, how other people are going to perceive me.

Once I am dressed and out in the world that hardly ever crosses my mind.
