I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh lawd, my flight from Chicago is currently delayed an hour, and they just announced that we could also sit on the tarmac for an hour and twenty minutes after that. Then we all got texts telling us it was due to thunderstorms in Texas.

Several people heading to New York had flights canceled and rebooked for tomorrow, but honestly, that might be better than being stuck here forever. (Except I don't mean that I want to be stuck here forever and then have the flight canceled, please do not smite me, travel gods.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I had a nice guy going to Southwest Air this weekend who had been delayed by 8 hours, but the airline said "get here early and we might be able to send you standby." So he was prepared to spend as much time as necessary.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That extra time at home is going to feel like getting a raise. Congratulations!!

Seriously. That's awesome, sj!!

Our wings are not tired.

I'm annoyed by how much of my newsfeed is being spent on Omarosa. Every single thing she says may be true, but she still has zero credibility. But mostly I am annoyed by the constant ability of this administration to fill the news with distractions.

In Laura world, I am surprised that DH is still in Otter Lake. His initial plan was to go home the 1st of the month. Hmmm. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy his company, but wonder about the condition of the FL house, and the contents of the fridge. I did ask my son to mow the lawn, water my inside plants, and bring in the mail. He is clearly in avoiding work mode since he has spent weeks working on renovating the boat, detailing my family members' cars, and other diversions. I am just an observer here. His pattern is often working on manual projects until he is able to focus on his real job.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hooray, Teacups! Good luck, Dana!

My annual review is this afternoon. Wish me... something positive.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And now we're delayed almost another hour.

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

Every single thing she says may be true, but she still has zero credibility.

And really, she's revealed what, exactly, so far? That Trump is a lying racist shitbag? OMG STOP THE PRESSES.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am working from home today and got a new foster dog.

rain all weekend and today means not much going on at work.

I should really make the best use of my day and ebay some things, but so far I've just futzed around online and now I'm going to do some cooking.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

And with the shorter commute come a bunch of savings in gas & car depreciation.

Seriously, it was the commute that dropped me into debt during my 160-mile-a-day-commute period, between $3.50/gallon gas, needing maintenance every month, and having to get a new car loan much sooner. The move eased things up a fair bit financially despite a $100/month increase in rent.
