Our wings are not tired.

Sending health~ma.

Super quiet day here. I'm actually getting stuff done while avoiding news.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just realized I got a sunburn this weekend (on Sunday, probably) on one upper arm. Which I noticed when I touched my arm (though my sleeve) and it was super hot! How did I not notice this before?

In other news, I have a new office neighbor on my hall, who has had a stream of visitors all day, partly because she just moved offices and partly because her boyfriend is heavily involved in one of the most interesting primary races happening today. It's a lot of chatting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The two giant men who are playing tennis look sweaty and miserable.

Unrelatedly, I've reached the stage of wanting to take a jackhammer to my face. I guess I'm glad that my symptoms yesterday were relatively minimal. It's a lot easier to lie on a couch and whine than it is to travel.

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

Back to work today.

Um.

Wait, maybe YOU gave it to ME.

(Also, on Monday Naomi said her allergies were terrible. I hope she didn't catch it too.)

Punishingly Intricate

We purchased some of hippocampus' books for our friend's Baltimore City high school classroom and today, the first day of classes, a kid picked one of her books to take home.

I went out and asked strangers to sign up to support transgender rights, and they totally did! I had 20 cards to get filled out, and it took less than an hour. And I was not at all aggressive about talking to people with headphones, who were most of them.

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

I AM SPIRALING. I can feel it coming on and do not want to fall into a funk. WHY IS EVERYTHING SO TERRIBLE.

And I am sick on my stupid body.

Hey y'all that have gone through menopause and had hot flashes, were you unnormally cold the rest of the time? I am really cold in my house at it's normal temp and my hands and feet just stay cold even when I raise the thermostat to 75.

Everything is not terrible!! Case in point: When I asked strangers on the street, "Do you support transgender rights?" more than one asked if it was a trick question, which made me laugh.
