To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just had an hour and a half meeting with a staff person telling me ways I've let her down, basically, so.

I actually think it was a good meeting, in the end, but yikes.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Jesse's meeting was shit.

The week of June 12th is not particularly fraught for me, Laura. I hope we can work things out for a visit!

Dana and Jesse, I'm sorry your day and week haven't been good ones.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

waves back at Buffistas

Today is shit and this week has been shit.

Co-signed.

The paperwork I was melting down over was an expense report. They've changed both the rules and the interface, and I thought today was the deadline. I did it yesterday, had to re-do it because new rules, and now it turns out that the deadline was last week. So after fretting over it all this time, it might have been for naught anyway; it's possible they won't approve it.

My sister decided tomorrow is the day we'll have our long-discussed yard sale. So now I gotta bundle up all the stuff I want to sell and drag it out to my car. And tomorrow's going to be a record heat wave, yay. I don't wanna. I'm still so anxious I'm vibrating, but if I take anything, I can't drive.

Oh fuck, expense report. I have one of those I'm about to be too late to submit, too. OH WELL.

Laura, just adding to the chorus of NCistas: would love to see you if you come through NC!

I reallllly don't want to spend the last hour of my week working. But I had better give my list a run-through and see if there is anything I should follow up on, at least.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Sorry for all y'all who are working. I took the dog for a run, did some pruning, kneaded some bread dough, bought some clothes, and had a late lunch (fish tacos and an IPA). Now I'm killing time until the winery is open so I can pick up some rose, and then home for a nap. Later I'm having a massage.

Usually my days off are less fun, but I'm spending all day tomorrow ushering for Angels In America, which will have me on duty for about 8 hours. Considering taking a Lyft home from the theater...

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

Timelies all!

Tired and hot here. Luckily, the ac guy is coming to replace the compressor tomorrow.(Stupidly early for a Saturday, but what can you do?)
