Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Thank you for the politics overview, billytea! Kind of nice to realize the crazy isn't just national.

ETA: What Karl said, Sue.

And oh, Jess, I'm with you in spirit. Thanks for sharing that view.

ETA2: We've been having a little cold snap following the spell of heat and beige air. We keep the thermostat at 64F, and the heat just kicked in. I've been dreaming of October--is this it?

Yeah, that's a hazard. I make lists, too, because there's stuff I just don't want to do, and there's a better chance I'll do it if it's written down. But once I get started on tasks, I tend to pick up wherever I am when I finish a task and do that thing, whether it's on the list or not. Creative procrastination on getting done the things I just don' wanna.

Speaking of which, I should get off the couch and go consolidate all the trash cans and clean out the freezer and take out the damn garbage. Bets on whether or not that happens?

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

Ha! It sounds like the writing staff for Dynasty are in control of Australian politics.

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

Making lists is the fun part! And the longer it takes to make the list, the longer you can put off doing the things!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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

Jess, I wouldn't want to leave there either!

I'm putting off some onerous tasks right now. I need to get off the sofa.

I'm trying to become a responsible functional adult but it's really hard.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

First opinion poll is in after the Friday putsch. The government has fallen another 5 points against Labor, who now lead 56-44. The opposition leader, Bill Shorten, is now preferred Prime Minister over ScoMo, 39-33. Turnbull at least consistently won that one, even if the electorate wished he was leading a different party.

My whole worldview is changed by this knowledge.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I got a pedicure this morning and already chipped it or just rubbed some off the edge (possibly putting my sandals on at the time). Do you think if I go in there tomorrow, they'd let me fix it?
