So I facilitated a training earlier, and now I'm just out. I should respond to emails, but if they need any thought at all, it just feels like two much. I should not just kill the next half-hour before my check-in with my boss, but that might just be how it goes.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm apparently going to a Nancy Pelosi Town Hall this Saturday that's about the tax bill. It's simultaneously an onerous task and also super interesting to me to find out what's actually in this stupid thing?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mr. S's nursery school/daycare opened at 9:15, so things were starting to warm up when we left. It was still an adventure getting from the house to the car.

Well, my phone showed up at 3:30 PM. I don't know why I'm so nervous about setting it up, billions of people have smartphones, and mine's not even a Mensa phone. I guess I fell pretentious, and my inner Puritans are sniffing and saying "You have a perfectly good phone, you're getting above yourself, girl."

Which phone did you end up getting, Connie?

A Galaxy Sky. It had good reviews on the Tracfone site.
I need to get a case for it now.

I have to strongly recommend a case, because my arrogance about the durability of my perfectly serviceable Moto G is what led to me dropping it on the tiled kitchen floor and shattering the screen.
You damn bet the iPhone has a case now. (I didn't pay a ton for it, because it's an SE, but I love it and I'm tired of buying phones.)

I am dying to activate my new phone, but I timed it all wrong since my account is pre-paid, and if I do it too soon, I'm just double paying.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Connie, please tell your Inner Puritans to stuff it from me. A smartphone is a useful and functional item; if it so happens that you can have a little fun with it, you deserve that too.
