I was remembering how there was this whole part of my body which relaxed when Obama was first elected and Bush left office.
This.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yeah, it's the new year now and I don't feel happy. I feel anxious.
I think 2016 gave me PTSD.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Made it to midnight, had my greens and peas. Just a few fireworks in the neighborhood, loud but hopefully over.
Be better than I expect, 2017. Please.

stayed up til midnight, then woke up at 3:30, finally got out of bed at 5:30. I think this is the steroid shot.
Anyway, I washed dishes, made coffee, made myself breakfast & fed the dogs.
I need to do quite a few things today, so LIST TIME:
- sweep living room & kitchen
- vacuum living room area rug
- mail 4-5 things
- pick up mail for work (so it doesn't have to be done tomorrow)
- measure window pane
- get window screen out (I think it is caulked in)
- go buy window pane & anything else needed for repair
- replace window pane & make child help
- clean bathroom
- have child do laundry, pack bag, and do anything else needed for going to school tomorrow
- either take things to thrift store or list things on ebay
- pack lunch for tomorrow
- lay out clothes for tomorrow
- finish self-eval that was due yesterday
If time, things I would like to do
- read
- write general winter holiday cards
- cast on a hat to knit

I moved all on lj stuff from years gone by over to dreamwidth. I probably still won;t use it much, but figure I should find my people to follow there. I am msbelle there too.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Woke myself up coughing. Woohoo.

I deleted my Livejournal account. That felt weird. I don't think I've put more than one or two entries a year in since fandom moved to Tumblr, but once that was my main fannish source of info and interaction. I opened my account in 2002. Oh well. It's all archived over at Dreamwidth.
Speaking of things fannish, I woke up to 19 emails announcing authors I follow on AO3 had posted fic. That was a nice start to the year. Gaia bless Yuletide.
And I started the day with homemade Greek-style yogurt (yum), coffee, and 'Spurs football. Last night I played Firefly Clue (Jayne in the kitchen with a wrench), Doctor Who Yatzee and Bananagrams with a couple of friends while we waited out 2016.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hamiltistas, my friend's kid I met yesterday is named Eliza, and they haven't even heard the show! I tried to teach them how to sing her name properly....
