Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's really random, msbelle.

That's my sister's name, makes for a lot of double takes.

Eek, that would be odd.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I've spent most of the day trying to sleep off a migraine. I really can't let this be another 3+ day event like I've been having. I've got a march to attend, damnit!

I got my posters printed for the march tomorrow (lady at FedEx seemed less than impressed).

My FedEx folks were very positive. The guy who took the order and I had a nice chat about the poster designs and the guy who handled the pickup and payment said I was at least the third person this week to have similar items printed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yes, I very quickly figured out how to get Yahoo to stop sending me "breaking news" notifications.

Compassionately intolerant

gave myself the gentlest of days. No news. Cagney playdate. Unfettered eating. Long nap. So nice.

A friend who works for WPost came by to chat and said something really interesting.

A reporter told her that the vast majority of the crowd was school groups. Tweens and teens, mostly.

Sure enough, as we were having tea by my front window, two different groups came by...perhaps 30 kids, with 2 adults toddling off to the bus parking lot.

Most of the other folks on the street were obviously demonstrators.

I can totally see school groups getting free bus rides to fill the crowd.

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

I'm gonna say giving out a friend's contact info, much less offering her as a ride, to someone who you don't know well enough to get their name right is frowned upon. By me, anyway, I frown.

Excellent, Sheryl!

Not so excellent, aurelia. Begone, migraine!

I bought the stuff I needed to make soup but now I think I'll have popcorn for dinner and save the soup making for Sunday.

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

Besides the bartender, I'm the only person in this bar who isn't on a tinder date.

Well, put that in your Yelp review.

I did a bit of work on your Wordpress site. Hopefully that will help to get you going. I can help a bit more.
