(psst, I skipped work today because I woke up only a little bit late everything kept going further south in stupid little ways and I just called it. Got my emissions test done and a few other minutiae. And hey, was home when Brian called looking for a place to park.)
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Because books.
I've been wondering... If the Cubs make into the World Series this year and lose, will we revert to the timeline we *should* be on? Or would we have to go back and undo last years win? Filed under "things I can't say out loud".

Good luck with the complaint, aurelia. I'm rooting for ests, it I am also so proud that you filed, whatever the outcome. Go you!
Aw Pumpkin.
Pixie and Miss Kitty are hiding in the shelves in the garage. I think they are content?

Our wings are not tired.
Be safe, -t.
Sometimes you just need a lot of sleep. Bodies iz weird.

Today I finally got around to sending in a sexual harassment complaint to a vendor.
Sorry that it was necessary, but thank you for doing it.
Perfectly clear sky with no moon in the mountains tonight. Even with it already 42 I could have slept outside laying on my back filling my vision with stars. Spectacular.
eta: This was after going to see the movie The Mountain Between Us tonight and realized with all that beautiful scenery they never showed the stars.

I wish I could see stars. I've missed star gazing since I moved to urban California.
The news said the air quality has Beijing levels of particulates. I am miserable in my airways, but at least I still have a house.
Sending ~ma for Coco. May the kitty doctors do him some good.

Lots of no fire ~ma to -t, my favorite command-line option, and kitty ~ma to Coco.
I haven't watched any NFL for a few years now and have been paying attention less so it was kinda shocking to discover that my KC Chiefs are the last undefeated team at 5-0. Huh.

Well crap, Trump is ending healthcare cost-sharing subsidies for the ACA. How much awful fucking shit can he put into a single week? It's so frustrating, especially since he probably has no idea what he's doing.

Thrive to spite them
I can't read the news anymore. Well not for awhile . Trump and the subsidies....i can't deal with this. I can't deal with the feeling that people are going to hurt and the WH admin and GOP leadership are probably celebrating.
I also have a job interview in 2 hours for a job and trying to fight back my grief and rage is distractibg. I feel so weak for not being able to handle any past of what is going on with the country.

I can't even tell who that is supposed to benefit. Subsidies are the kind of low-income assistance conservatives prefer, aren't they?
The commute from my parents house to work is shorter than from my house. I'm not sure how I feel about that. No change in my immediate circumstances from yesterday.
