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

How is this day not even half over? I'm so tired and seem to be developing a sore throat. This better go away with a good night's sleep (and I'd better get a good night's sleep tonight) or I will be pissed.

Dang it, forgot to try drinking the last bit of tea sans saucer and spilled all over my shirt again. This is a messy learning curve.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

AUGH tennis. It's making me nervous.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm always amazed at incorrect email deliveries. I just got someone's eyeglass prescription emailed to me (same last name; first name of Tyler; lives in California [I learned all this from the attached PDF of the prescription]).

I don't usually reply to incorrect emails, but I did for this one. I told them I am not Tyler, do not live in California, and Tyler will not receive his prescription via the email address they used, and if they want him to receive his prescription, they need to contact him via alternate means.

Good luck, Tyler. Stop giving out my email address.

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

I've had a huge uptick in that over the last year or so, and it's such a pain.

I sometimes get email in French.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am D-O-N-E. What I should do this afternoon is type up call notes and get my act together for next week. What I probably will do is not that.

Oh, tennis. I need to pay attention to that.

I woke up this morning congested and with an aching head. I better not be getting a cold, because that is unacceptable.

Having an unique name, I rarely get misdirected emails. The one time I did, it was a parents newsletter from an elementary school in California, address to someone with a Chinese name that was nothing like mine.

However, all my promotional email from Old Navy lately are address to "Nikki".

If I get misdirected email it gets caught by a Spam filter. I can't remember the last time I saw any.

Actual mail addressed to my neighbors or people who used to live in my house, otoh, all the time. My mail carrier is not super accurate.
