I'm in one of those overwhelmed by everything I see that needs doing. Trying not to get paralyzed by it and just keep doing somethings. Some is better than none, right?

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.
Anything is better than nothing, msbelle.
Have fun, Mr. S!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yup -- just do one of the things.
So, you guys probably already knew this, but the timer for the lights outside? Cost $15. Why didn't I get one years ago? Also having an outlet outside helps a lot.
Maybe I will also vacuum today!

I vacuumed last weekend and it was great. I am loving the Dyson vacuum. Not vacuuming today because I feel like he*k.

I think I'm finally going to get a timer
I LOVE all my timers. I think I'm up to 5 right now. Outside lights, window lights, Christmas tree, downstairs mini tree, and upstairs mini tree. The only thing I do manually is three lights in my village.
Brain is still not cooperating. I really need to get homework done. I took my Adderall hoping that would help me focus but alas, no such luck. I think it ous so busy trying NOT to think about Jack, that it can't focus on any one thing.

Don't blame you. Can barely stand to look in the mirror as white haired 50+ year old white guys comprise a large chunk of my hate-list.
I think there are still some old white guy authors worth reading (please Great Spaghetti Monster, let Neil Gaiman never have sexually harrassed anyone!), but gift recipients certainly aren't going to suffer for being given a wider selection of voices from women and people of color.

I hope you feel better soon, Gud.

I have kept on top of the kitchen, even cooking, through Snotcoughpocolypse but today I'm just sitting here with makeshift nose tampons in, taking endless Buzzfeed quizzes and looking at Zillow.
BTW, if we're moving into a new rental house April 1st, when is it legit to call to inquire about a new rental?

Ooh, you are a pro.

I'm grossed out by my own bookshelves at this point! I practically only read white male authors!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is it all the crime fiction and mysteries?
Growing up I just read what I wanted and that included lots of women writers: Ursula K. Leguin, Elizabeth Enright, Andre Norton, Madelein L'Engle, Mary Norton et al. And I didn't think about it too much.
But when I started to listen to music the options were way more guyish in the 70s. I mean, I certainly had and loved Joni Mitchell and Aretha Franklin and Carole King and Patti Smith and Chrissie Hynde but there were clearly less options there.
And when women directors were a complete rarity in film, and still are.
Anyway, I am feeling definite fatigue with Straight White Guy narratives in any medium at this point. Feeling like that ground is well and truly covered. Don't need an more upper middle class white guy midlife crisis movies. Don't need any more "But my dad never loved me" tales. Don't need anymore "If I stalk you it means I love you" songs.
