I had a cobb salad for lunch. How can I be hungry?
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

Between cramps and raining hard enough that I guess I'm swimming indoors this afternoon. Light drizzle, I'll swim in. Smacking in face? That's pushing it....

I just receive a thoughtful, enthusiastic comment on an old story I posted on Ao3. It would be creepy and stalkerish to track them down to send them flowers and cookies, wouldn't it. Few things are as good as a product of your mind touching someone and making them think.

What is even happening?
Aurelia, did you get rid of the table?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
skipping is a long honored tradition.
The plan was up for a 10:30 movie time. At 1:52 I finally got up. Ah well, so much for productive day. Perhaps I can have a semi-productive evening.

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

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I get, "I just wanted to read something fun, maybe some angst, and you made me think! I don't know whether to thank you or be mad at you!"
Living in the cloudy, rainy PNW, after weeks of sun, I would kill. maim. use seriously harsh language for some rain right now. I'll remember this unrelenting sun in November, when it'll be weeks and months of unrelenting rain.
The sarameg family trip sounds truly wonderful, and wistfully aware. Lucky to have that memory.
I've been feverishly productive for weeks. I'm flopping on the couch with coffee, peanut butter toast, and piles of fic. So much for accomplishing jack squat today.

Msbelle I'm glad I'm not the only unproductive one today. I woke up early but hen managed to get back to sleep until about 9...at which point I got up, fed the kitten, had breakfast, and took migraine meds and went back to bed. I woke up at noon and freaked out a little because my meds weren't working and I still had pain and nausea. But thankfully they just needed a little more time. Feeling mostly ok (fragile-ly so) now thank god. But thinking none of my plans for the day (pride on the beach or a craft fair) sound good with sun and crowds.
