Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I've been thinking about fun colors (dark teal would be nice), but the timing hasn't been right.

I'm working at home today. Usually it's fun. Today I'm watching society break down as our water company developed problems and asked its users to not use water for an undetermined time. Schools closed (kids can't flush after using the bathroom or wash their hands), restaurants are closed, and all the bottled water in town has been sold. I have plenty of water in my apartment from last year's hurricane prep, and I can go to friends' places tomorrow for showers if things carry on. Still, this was an unexpected occurrence.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hair appointment made for next Saturday. Hopefully we still have a civilization at that point.

Right? It is SO HARD to plan summer camps right now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap, Calli, what a mess.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hopefully we still have a civilization at that point.

Tim has to have surgery on his big toe (he gets fake cartilage, which I didn't know was a thing, and I feel like I should have known that given my job, injected into the joint space), and he said he didn't know if it was worth it since society is collapsing. I told him the cartilage would help him compete in the Hunger Games.

If society is collapsing, I'm going to regret getting rid of half my swords. At least I still have the bearded axe, and Sting is surprisingly sturdy.

And then the hair salon called me back to make sure I knew what was involved with coloring my hair.

Punishingly Intricate

My body is my weapon which is why I'm having the busted ligaments in ball of my foot fixed in a couple of weeks! I can't kick fascist asses with a sore paw!

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Gray hair is more resistant to coloring than white. I don't remember the exact science behind it (cosmetology school was a long time ago), but it's a known thing.

If society is collapsing, I should really get around to starting my cult, huh?

This is when I mention how much I'm still in love with the water cooler delivery service. Thanks Costco!
