I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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

I'm taking a class on Supply Chain Management because I can and it's generally fine but every time the instructor says something specific about petroleum refining (in the context of continuous flow production) he's almost entirely wrong. It's driving me nuts. I don't think it's going to come up much in the future, but I have to complain somewhere today. THAT'S NOT HOW ANY OF THAT WORKS

Our wings are not tired.

Still home. Should be leaving soon. All is packed except DH's stuff because I don't pack for him. Have to drive through straight at this point. I'll probably shower at a truck stop along the way.

Kids went to Lake Placid today and are going to Niagra Falls a few days next week. They have their passports to cross the border.

Aw, Niagara Falls honeymoon, how sweet! I will be imagining talking plastic lions, of course.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I feel like I've seen things on twitter and whatever about helping friends actually get into therapy, in addition to just being supportive, so when a friend of mine said she wants to find someone, I realized I could totally help! I love online shopping, so I picked out some local therapists for her to check out on Psychology Today.

I hereby offer this service to anyone. You can email me your location, insurance, specific interests or needs, and I will totally go through the Psychology Today profiles and send you a few links.

Actual outreach is probably on you, though, sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Can I come to your home, lie on your couch, and have a meltdown for 45 minutes?

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

As long as you're not allergic to cats, you're welcome to have a couch meltdown at my place anytime you're in San Diego, Tom.

No couch, but lots of floorspace. Kind of far away, though.

I'm kind of regretting deciding to go to this concert tonight. So tired. I'm sure I'll enjoy it once I'm there, but doors don't open until 7 and the opening act doesn't go on until 8 and I am old and have an early bed time so making it to the band I'm there to see will be HAAAAARD. And my friend who got the tickets has not told me if I'm meeting her for dinner before or at the theater or what so I don't know whether to eat something on the way or not. Gah.
