Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Having a small stash of heavy duty pain meds can be handy if you just need half a pill for bad cramps or vicious muscle strain that you know doesn't need the full doctor treatment.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

There is a clear split on packing at Stately Fogelson Mansion. My spouse believes that if you are going to pack a filing cabinet (or a bureau etc.), that you take all the papers out of it and carefully pack them in labeled boxes, then move the empty cabinet, then at the other end, you unpack all the boxes of papers and put them back in the drawers. TOO MANY STEPS DUDE.

The clearly correct way is to take the drawers out and carry each of them and the cabinet to the moving truck, then put the full drawers back in and do the opposite at the other end. Easy peasy.

It's seems relevant to the conversation that this meditation extension I have installed just reminded me that "You shouldn't trust every thought that comes into your head." I kind of want Carol Kane from The Princess Bride to come running into my brain shouting "LIAR!" when my thoughts are crap.

And yeah, maybe Aunt Louise had access to laudanum, but that's how the killer manages to slip her the arsenic. I'm just saying.

Look, I am willing to take that risk right now if it would get me some laudanum.

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

Where did I read "Don't believe everything you think" recently? I think it's Pema Chodron, but I think I came across someone else quoting her.

Gentle hairpats, Jilli. Had I laudanum, I would give it to you.

For an in town move, definitely. Or if you're driving the uhaul yourself. I'd just make sure the drawers were like, taped shut or wrapped in something like people do those suitcases at the airport? Saran Wrap?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Look, I am willing to take that risk right now if it would get me some laudanum.

I think you'd qualify as the eccentric aunt, and she's usually safe in the novels.
