I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

13 is so much worse than 12, too. Like you're into a whole new measurement system.

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

Happy birthday, Sox!

Job ~ma, Scrappy!

Go get 'em, ltc!

shrift, I hope you're not still working!

The TSA sucks.

My repaired laptop is finally back in my hands! It's been a week without it. I was strangely glad to get back to work today.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Whatever is responsible for making shrift work so long - stop that!

Last time I flew, a month ago, I had pre-check both ways, and when I asked what I had to take out of bag, the agent said "Nothing." I had a small laptop, bigger than a cellphone, and my CPAP in my bag and no one quibbled. Maybe flying First Class gets other perks.

I have been trying to help my parents downsize for the past two days, along with my sister. We have filled multiple trash cans and several carloads to goodwill, and you wouldn't even know we have put a dent in it. We haven't even touched the garage or the storage shed. Or tried to get them to part with hard stuff. Like, "please can I throw this expired food away even though you I Sisti it's still good" and "no taking your random old books to the used bookstore to get $7 or something would not be a good use of our time, let's donate them to goodwill and if you want I will hand you $20". We were throwing away bank statements and retuned chcks from more than 40 years ago for fucks sake. And that's not touching my dads stamp collection. Or the large boxes of photos and memorabilia and slides and and and and

Yep. And certainly it's not helped by the fact that I need to be up at 5am again tomorrow.

shrift, I hope you're not still working!

Uh. I took a moment to stop at the library and quickly shove some dinner in my face, but...

Blessings upon you, shrift

meara, my grandparents/mother's house was the same way. Including the 40 year old cancelled checks. Nightmare.

All right. I've sent the "some shit went down" update, so now I'm going to find something relaxing to do for the 20 minutes I have before I should start going to bed.

TSA Pre-Check doesn't require taking anything out of bags or off your feet. It's like being treated like an actual human being or something.

The status is NOT quo.

Oh this month. This month has been very stressful so far, and I've been having the nightly anxiety dreams to prove it. The unspecified ~ma is still needed for ND's cashflow issues with his company, and I need finish-my-thesis-and-shorter-verson-for-educaton-magazine-by-Sunday ~ma.
