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

First-- I wish strength and confidence and healing to all my Buffistas and to those they love who are struggling. I honestly believe that feeling like one isn't doing enough is how anyone sane feels these days. Work, home, the World, and that clown Trump hanging over it all takes up a lot of mental and physical energy.

Naked slip and slide sounds fantastic.

The mover comes next Thursday and we are NOT READY. I know we'll be ready by then, but right now it seems insurmountable.

I can think "I'll worry about that tomorrow" about just about anything and sleep pretty well.

Well, sleep and I have a pretty fraught relationship, even with medication. If I could just switch to an entirely nocturnal schedule, life would be great.

Moving is hell.

Good to know, meara! I don't know that I have ever done the slip and slide with clothing, so I have no basis for speculation, even.

Me and sleep are a little too close, probably.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Back to work today, though I didn't get anything(other than working through my e-mail) done until after lunch. Still, the fact that I actually have some things to do puts today over much of the last couple months.

I always feel like I Should Be Doing More. Other people need to and should relax and take it easy, but I shouldn't.

I literally had this exact same conversation with friends in Chicago this weekend.

My plane had mechanical problems last night, so I was delayed out of Detroit and got maybe 4-5 hours of sleep last night. I think I've functioned pretty well and was reasonably pleasant, given the givens.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You can do it, Scrappy! I think my opinion of moving is well-known.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Today's crossword is trying to convince me that a group selfie is an "usie". Please tell me that's not true.

I've seen it used. Doesn't make it right.

Our wings are not tired.

This is news to me. Must remember when I do a crossword, because I have no intention of needing to know that for any other purpose.
