I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I know this is obvious, but it's not under warranty, Connie? That blows.

Good hurricane luck, guys. Just don't be stupid about driving in flooded streets. As in, don't do it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Be safe with the weather, peoples.

I'm sorry your kitty discovery was not the good kind, meara.

Yikes to stinging things in general.

I am irritated that I am at work on Rosh Hoshana, but I am taking a week off starting on Thursday, and last year when I took off for this particular holiday was when the layoffs happened, so ... yeah. Anyway, round sweet years to y'all

Ann, that's a ferret.

Completely useless trivia: One of my grandmothers was named Florence. She passed away many years ago, so I don't know how she would feel about a major hurricane named for her.

More seriously, prepare now and stay safe, Carolinistas!

What kind of car is it? 40,000 miles may be out of the general warranty, but there might be a longer powertrain warranty.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering.

I swear, I had intentions to get things done today, but it's 2PM and I'm sitting here debating whether Tony Stark belongs in Slytherin, as some random thing on the internet just claimed.

I think you might be able to make a case for Tony pre-Iron Man as Slytherin, but that's it. I could argue any of the other three houses.

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

So tired and generally feeling yuck, so I texted in sick to work. Went to Dr for sore on my arm, we're unsure what it is, do treating it as both bacterial and fungal. Also my anxiety/depression survey I have to do every time I go in was higher than normal so had to do a whole talk about that and consider increasing meds, but not doing it right now.

Then I took my car for inspection, it was due in August. Got that done. Now home and I think I'm going to do one report I need for work and then read for the rest of the day.

'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"

Huh, I didn't think of powertrain warranty. Must research!

In happier news, my decision to rent a rideshare vehicle to keep driving looks like it will at least keep some cashflow going. So I'm merely leaking money, not gushing it out.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm glad you're able to do that, Theo.

msbelle, rest and take care of yourself.

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

Timelies all!

Sorry about the car problems, Theo.
