Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Tep, do you have the option of laying out his article in multicolored Fink Heavy so it will convey the proper authorial tone of a tantrum-throwing kindergartener?

Man, I wish!

Y'all were talking a bit back about some journal/bullet thing. I didn't look it up, but it reminded me of how I used to keep a small notebook with running lists in college. Things to get, do, contacts. Grcceries, sizes, tasks, ideas, things to look up, major projects, upcoming appt so. Each day, I'd cross out the previous date at the top of the page, draw a line (or turn a page) and write a new date, transfer the un-addressed to the next day, cross those off the previous, add anything new. I'm trying it again. Used to have cute notebooks, but starting cheap. 4x6" for 88 cents. We'll see if it helps or makes me more crazy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone! It was fun and I am happy and quite tired. (There were no asshooks, Hec. Totally the wrong crowd for that!)

Steph, that author is a dickweasel. I feel your rage.

Sarameg, that's how I do my ongoing to-do journal thing. Everything in one journal, cross off what I've done, carry over the rest. Simplest thing.

Bedtime.

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

I had my monthly meeting with my boss and told her all about my new adventure in bullet journaling, and she told me how she takes notes all the time and then files them and never looks at them again. Fun.

Not as fun as Fury Road, though. That was amazing! OMG! And Consuela was super awesome and ordered me food so I wouldn't miss the beginning or starve (I missed my stop because I am missing d of an idiot and got the o the theater after a be start time but before previews were done). I assume the adrenaline rush will last long enough to get me home...

Oh, -t, I feel so bad -- I should have taken you to MacArthur BART, it would have been a shorter ride home from a less sketchy stop. But that was fun!

In other news, demolition continues but apparently there is a crappy layer of vinyl or something on top of the subfloor. I have to decide whether to try to take it off and finish the subfloor anyway, which may result in crap (some of it is patched with plywood and would have to be replaced), or just lay another floor over it, like linoleum or a new wooden floor.

Decisions, decisions!

Oh, no worries, the ride from 19th was all of one stop longer and the station was not so sketchy as all that. And I have made it safely home and fed all the critters so they will not eat my head while I sleep, so all is well. Waking up in the morning will, I predict, not be fun, but that's okay.

Flooring! How exciting!

In the hopes that if I whine about it here, it will go away. I can't sleep thanks to an upset tummy. I'm so tired but it keeps flipping on me.

I may have to seize the cat.

Thanks for the birthday happies, everybody. It was amazing.

I don't know if I want to go to work, today. I' feeling all satisfied with blueberry muffin oatmeal with fresh blueberries ontop and a tea that is a combo of strawberry/blueberry. It's a blueberry explosion and I just want to bask in it.

Mmm, that sounds nice, Sail.

Glad to hear it, Kiba!
