I had a thing I thought was due today, and I was prepared to buckle down and get it done, but a) it wasn't actually due until Monday, and b) it's delayed anyway. So now my motivation has vanished.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

I suck at coming up with a witty response in the moment. I just become super polite in the hopes the person will go away faster.
A thing I actually do like about my gym, it has 3 TVs but so far none of them have ever been on Fox News. On Wednesday the personal trainer was showing me how to use the equipment and then she added that I could watch TV if I wanted. I looked up, saw that the idiot president was on the screen, and replied "no thanks". The personal trainer laughed and said, "Well if you want to see how high you can raise your heart rate..."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I love finding out that I am required to do daily reports that my counterparts in other locations do not have to do.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
It is disappointing when chocolate doesn't taste as good as you expected it to.
sara, I'm so glad you were able to do this trip. Maybe this means that you'll be spending some more time in Las Cruces for the foreseeable future, but the time spent with them is worth it.
sj, I hate people like that. I'm sorry you have to deal with this over and over.
Do not piss off The Nicest, boss. It won't be pretty and you'll get a "bless your heart" that will strip the skin off of an armadillo.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Gah, sj. People are the worst.
I'm glad the trip was so good, sarameg. This aging parents thing is hard, it's good to hear about your , I don't know what word I want, sweet times.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Quiet weekend coming up. That's a good thing, because there are errands to do. Although, the forecast says thunderstorms both day..ugh.

My sitter works out at the same place as me and knew exactly the woman who harassed me today. Apparently she is obnoxious with everyone.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
So I'm trying to sell my drafting table on FB marketplace. Got a bite last night who says they can pick up today. I gave a morning window and an after 5:30 window. Person says they can do after 5:30. I was hoping to narrow that down some, but ok. It is now after 6:30 and it started raining. What are the chances I'm getting rid of this table tonight?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I don't want to confess how many posts I just skipped.
sarameg, that trip sounds tough and excellent. And tough. And lovely.
