Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

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

I swam my usual! Really slow, but I swam it without stopping! Considering the trifecta of headcold, cramps and angry gallbladder, I'm just glad to get back in the water. My lungs are a little grumpy about it, but they needed it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You are frightening, sarameg.
It must be deeply weird to be Mark Zuckerberg's little sister.
Truly. Good for her for talking about this stuff!

also, if you feel up to going out to get food, you are pretty much exactly across Golden Gate Park from the Vietnamese hot and sour soup so healing I swear it could raise the dead, but unfortunately they don't deliver so you would have to drag your ass out there
Ooh, thanks for the reminder. I have plenty of food in my refrigerator so I can't justify spending money, although I may change my mind if I continue feeling this terrible.

It's exciting!
I spent a good hour looking at Zillow which is not something I've ever done.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Keeping all fingers crossed, peeps.
I would be crushed if that were so, but OTOH our pundits could then stop wasting everyone's time tearing us all to shreds over our inability to adequately empathize with angry white men and urging us to stop talking so much about civil rights and race and gender and other things that prevent angry white men from voting for our team. Sorry, guys, turns out it was just Zen's nail polish, so you can all shut up now.
HA! God, CAN they STFU???? PLEASE?

Loyalty to an auto shop has benefits. I got to the shop 15 minutes before closing to get my battery checked, but there was only one guy there, and he was wrestling with a stubborn alignment. The guy at the counter said Pep Boys down the street was open till 9 and could check the battery. I pouted a little, then started out. I went back in to use the bathroom (yay, the middle-aged female bladder) and when I came back out, the guy who had been working on the alignment was standing by my car with the tester. "Why didn't you just yell at me to come look at this?" he said, looking mildly offended. "Well, you were busy, I figured you had enough to do before you could get home." "Eh, it's just a test, and I know you got the battery here."
I popped the hood and he started to work. The guy on the counter came out and said, "Why didn't you tell me you bought the battery here?" Guy doing the test said, "And she got the starter here this summer, I put it in."
So my battery is showing its age but still has lots of oomph, it just doesn't like cold mornings (who does?). I will admit that having this shop less than a mile away was a big selling point for my new apartment.

Having stuff nearby is huge. I can, if necessary and sometimes not, walk to work, grocery, pharm, market, auto shop,dentist..hell, I even walked home from the ER on Monday (possibly crazy, but I was ok to walk, really! I won't be repeating it after surgery, promise.)
It brings a great deal of assurance.

Yup! It's why I never want to leave the city!

ION, I have a nagging feeling like I have wronged someone and need to apologize. No idea what or who. Maybe I dreamed something. If I did something to someone here, I honestly don't know and it was most likely not intentional.
