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

We are going to pick up a little used teardrop camping trailer we bought, to bring the dogs and cats cross-country. DH and his brother are driving and they are going to have a blast.

then going to see "The Big Sick," the new movie by Kumail Nanjani and Emily Gordon about their early romance. I can't WAIT.

Also, the plan is to try not to obsess about our house sale. The new buyer sent us a HUGE repairs request. We sent a counter offer and now we are waiting to see if we can agree. This is where we lost our last buyer and I am extremely nervous. Like muscle-under-my-eye-jumping and waking-up-several-times-a-night nervous.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I want to finish my Wonder Woman chats with Captain America in war-torn London fic.

I want to read that!

Herding cats for fun

Teardrop trailer? Be still my heart! Too cool.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm finally seeing Wonder Woman tonight!

Hang tight, Scrappy!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I regularly pray that various powerful people will be separated from selfishness, greed and anger that is in their hearts. That I imagine such a process to be more than a little uncomfortable may or may not cause me some level of enjoyment which will probably cause me to have some discomfort when the Almighty sees fit to cure me of it.

A postcard with birthday greetings may or may not have been mailed to an address on Teppy's street which is totally a transposition of some of the numbers of Teppy's house number. If such a thing were to happen, one would hope that the people in that other hypothetical house a couple of blocks down won't be terribly creeped out by a random postcard for a random birthday to a random person who does not live there. And also if such a thing did happen, another postcard may or may not have been mailed out the next day to what may or may not be the correct address. Perhaps.

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

Dang, y'all, Fitbit says I've walked 6.75 miles today. 1 of those was the usually Friday circumnavigating the building, and probably another 0.75 going to and from bus stops, do that's 5 miles of basically wandering around the warehouse looking for customers who need help.

I hope I have wine in the fridge already.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Go -t!!!

Cupcakes are baked. Half the frosting is made and I now have the supplies to make the other half but CJ made dinner, so I'm trying to relax enough to eat.

Then it is HOMEWORK, break to make frosting, HOMEWORK, break to frost cupcakes, HOMEWORK, sleep for an hour or two, and then it is on to the roller coaster of a weekend.

I have come to peace with that in some ways, I am a ridiculous foodie hipster. I am about to mail order jars of vanilla-infused and cacao nib sea salt, from the ridiculous store in PDX that sells nothing but salt, chocolate and bitters.

Which leads me to the important question: do I want to get orange & fig bitters? I kinda think I do.
