And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I took the redeye back from SF last night/this morning and now everything is made of gronk.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I forgot where you were for a second, Laura! Now it makes sense.

Did you go to work off the redeye, Jess? That is the worst. (Everything is made of gronk post-redeye no matter where you are.)

So I often don't complain/raise issues that I figure other people are aware of, but guess what! They aren't always aware of them! I'm the only person who noticed or told Facilities that a door to my office that should be locked has not been for a couple of days!

I would like crepes. I am also full of gronk. Had weird dreams about hiding from nazis last night.

I'm working from home, so kind of, but at least I get to lie on the couch and don't have to look professional.

I'm disappointed that your Redeye Dress didn't gronk-proof you.

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

Also full of gronk for no good reason. Would like to lie around appreciating 17776 all day. In between naps.

The oversized hood did make a very good sleep mask, but airplane seats are tiny little torture devices that no clothing can protect against.

Hm. New product opportunity? I am envisioning some sort of hooded caftan that inflates into a comfy mattress at the touch of a button. Would have to be pre-cleared by the TSA I suppose.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have been filled with gronk all week, I think it is going around.

ION after a month on an online dating site I sent my first messages out to people today. I feel like I am going to throw up.

Gentle hairpats, msbelle.

I hope I'm not getting sick. My phone says I slept for 8 hours and I don't feel like I slept badly, just that I would like to sleep a whole lot more. Maybe I can get to bed early tonight...

Last night's dance practice was at R's house, and as I pulled to park at her curb there was what appeared to be a SWAT team getting ready to swarm over the house next door. I was a little early and normally I would stay in my car for a few minutes listening to my book or whatever so as not to intrude on R too much, but all that body armor made me nervous so I went right in and asked her if she knew what was up. Apparently the house next door was an empty rental and the SWAT team had a deal with the realtor that they could use it for training, and someone had come and knocked on her door beforehand to let her know to minimize the neighbor's freaking out. She hadn't looked out a window before they came to warn her, so she was all calm, but when she did look out she was all "good thing I know what that is because it's scary looking!" Thyey were gone by the time we left, but every member of the troupe freaked out a little as we arrived.
