No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah, 12 days from now I shall be floating in the Caribbean with Pix and ND, and a cruise ship full of others. In anticipation I bought a pretty dress

Excellent call!! And that dress is great!

Six more days, Sara! You can do it!!

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

Love that dress! Hooray water! Yay classes that are more interesting than they might be! Woo fancy cocktails! Dana dreaming about Hil explaining math properly warms the cockles of my heart.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have negative motivation to do anything.

I did pull out the tiny Christmas tree last night. Maybe I'll do that. But then I'd have to get up.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh, Fuck 2016. The awesome indie bookstore near me is closing: [link]

Our wings are not tired.

My son's GF helped me decorate the tree. Also, son's GF loves carrots. You have been spared much of my glee over having a lovely young woman around my house on a daily basis, but it is an absolute delight.

Oh Tom, that sucks! DH and I just watched "You've Got Mail" over the weekend which led to the indie bookstore conversation. He was holding me responsible because of my Nook love.

Punishingly Intricate

Ugh, Tom, that really sucks

Booo, Tom.

Okay, if I do some work, then I can spend time on the Christmas tree.

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

Bookcourt is closing??? NO. I forbid it.

Boo to bookstores closing. Yay for son's GF's liking carrots!

Also yay for Mucinex. I spent all day Sunday in bed and worked from home yesterday mostly because getting dressed seemed oppressive but also coughing-sneezing-stuffy head etc., but I did manage to bundle up and get myself to Target where I bought cold medicine which is AWESOME. Although now I am at work where I am actually expected to work, apparently, which I am not really into today, but whatever.
