Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Yay sean! Yay Shir!!

Jesse, what exactly did you say??? I missed that somewhere.

Last night was eventful. My friend had to call the cops on her son, while I was there. Luckily it went way better than the last time she called the cops, they were very nice and professional and respectful. But still. Thank god it's Friday.

Over the last two days I clean out and reorganized my closet and dresser drawers. I have a ton of stuff to sell and donate. Which is unfortunately the part I suck at.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

sj, I'm still impressed as heck at the cleaning and organizing. That's where I have problems. I, unfortunately, excel at ignoring the clutter and crap around me until I have to let someone into my home - then it becomes visible but I have no time to deal with it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

According to the technical rules of Summer Fridays I shouldn't sign off until 2, but I'm working from home and all my work is done so I'm just gonna call the next 2 hours a long lunch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats, Sean!

Yay, Shir!

Yikes, meara. I'm sorry to hear that.

Can you just donate it all, so it's just one task? (Not sure if that is possible or even helps. I can only bring a small amount of stuff to donate at once, which makes me never do a big organizing job!)

Jesse, what exactly did you say??? I missed that somewhere.

I said, "I have one friend who is going to be sad you shaved the mustache." (ie, Sophia.) He was like, That makes one person, then!

I realized that the most important thing for me is just to get it out of the house, so I'd rather donate it than wrangle selling some stuff. That way it's just gone.

And I should really clean out my closet this weekend. Woo, holiday weekend.

I think Plei falls in that category, too.

Yeah, I usually just jam everything into bags and leave it at my local PTA Thrift Shop's donation door.

In other news, I got a new tattoo this week. It's something I've wanted for years—one of the swallows from the Minoan frescoes on Santorini. You can see a reproduction of the specific swallow on the top of this box: [link]

I'll probably post a picture of the tat somewhere once it's finished healing.

Epic, that is me too, but I just finished a round of steroids for my asthma, and I'm riding the wave of productivity that always follows it for me. My goal is to make the house more presentable by the Father's Day brunch as well as making it a place that I'm not embarrassed for ltc to have play dates at. It's really bad.

Jesse, I've been stress shopping too much lately. So I really could use to sell some stuff.

Yeah, fair.

Ooh, I love that, Calli!

OMG, one coworker is going to drive me nuts. She is all worked up about stuff and also out of the office, so she keeps calling me to explain stuff to her and deal with it and honestly. JUST BE ON VACATION, PEOPLE. Nothing is that urgent. And even if it were, I'm not sure it could get done today, anyway. It's the day after Commencement and the Friday before a long weekend -- a lot of people are out today!
