I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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

Hooray for good theatre experiences! I spent the evening reading one play with two other plays on monitors (one in my office, one in the hall just outside my office).

I am afraid of starting to listen to Night Vale at this point. I don't even know if that makes sense or not. My point is, can't comment on your costume, aurelia.

I was very confused for a moment. I think you meant amyth.

If I thought I could get the hair right I might try a Dottie (from Agent Carter) costume. My build is much closer to her than Peggy.

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

That sounds like an amazing trip, Sue!

Also, I touched a mummy's finger! It was so weird.

In Ireland? I wonder if it was the same mummy hand that I touched once? Dang, that was decades ago.

In the crypts at St. Michan's?

Well, I got tired of mixing up amyth and amych and thought I would expand the field.

Autocorrect just changed amych to amyth for me, btw. Beware.

Also, Dottie costume would be excellent.

How much do I love that Sue and Consuela both come back recommending the same play? A lot.

Argh. So, yesterday I set out my clothes for today, (and tomorrow for that matter) folded on top of a laundry basket (full of other clean clothes that need to be put away but that is beside the point) by the foot of my bed. This morning that little stack had been knocked to the floor and pissed on, one assumes by a cat. That has to be deliberate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Damn cats.

I am alone in my office for the rest of the week, which makes getting stuff done hard. Or, on the flip side, it makes screwing around so very easy. I really have to step it up and at least start generating more work for other people!!

Our wings are not tired.

Random FB factoid. I have 4 friends with birthdays today. 1 is a woman I knew in elementary school and haven't seen in 50 years, and 3 young men that went to school with my kids. I would have zero contact with these people if it were not for the FB link. This for me is a good thing because they are 4 people I would choose to have in my life and it is good to be able to watch and participate in their lives to some degree.

Many many days I dislike FB, but today is not one of those days.

Nice, Laura! That's very much how I feel about Facebook - for all that i often hate it, there's nothing else that will keep me in contact with certain people who I would miss very much.

If I was the kind of person who paid attention to omens I would not be at work right now. Many many small but annoying signs.

Maybe I should try that lifestyle. I've been here half an hour and just now was able to get my coffee and haven't checked me email yet because my one coworker wanted to tell me how things went with some of my accounts (two out of three kinda fucked up; one just waiting on the customer as usual) so I assume my email will be full of other disasters. Guess I can't delay any longer...

OTOH, I am proud of myself for not looking at my work email even once while I was off.
