"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Oh yeah! I ran every day in Ohio, in spite of the cold, slush, ice and rain. I wore exactly the same clothes as I wore today to go to the rosebowl (minus the heavy hat and gloves) and I was as cold today as in 7 degrees. Why?

I also missed yesterday's run to ruin my RW Run Streak. Bummer.

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

And by that I mean "business sense" and not actual sense.

Classic short-term thinking. Get me my bonus, I will have a different job by the time this goes wrong. Sadly pervasive.

ETA: Aw, bummer about the streak, Kat.

I avoid ohare in winter because I've many times been thwarted by snowstorms. A few years I flew southwest through Phoenix. This year, a four hour layover in DFW but ohare on the way home.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I'm going to do a big declutter after the holidays. We have Plato's Closet for clothes, so I'm going to take clothesv there and drop whatever they don't take for credit (along with household goods) off at the thrift store operated by a DV shelter I used to work at.

I'm having M clear out any clothes that don't fit and toys he doesn't want anymore while he's here.

Speaking of M, he was just telling me how not obvious Secret Service agents are in plainclothes. (He goes to school with Biden's grandkids. He's on the track team with his granddaughter and reports she is very nice.)

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

What 4 hours are you at DFW? I am like 15 min away.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Speaking of travel, I need to travel for work to Philadelphia. Need hivemind help: Am I out of my mind for considering a flight home at 7:30 am if there's a 1:30 pm available?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is it wrong of me to think you might enjoy a free morning out of town, rather than rushing home?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Early flights are less likely to get delays and cancellations, IME. But what day of week? Monday AMs can be a shitshow in their own way.

And yes Jesse, my main thought is maybe I'd rather just pack up and eat a breakfast and then head to the airport, rather than leaving at 5 am
