Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

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

Oh, those both sound like SO MUCH FUN

Whew finished my report and want a break. So, I cross two RR tracks on my way to work (I could avoid crossing tracks but that would require getting on Hwy 12 and waiting at 3 red lights and going an extra, oh, quarter mile or so - I generally prefer to drive by the cow pastures when I drive), the one closest to my house is the line that Amtrak and freight trains run on when they are going places, the one that goes behind work is a siding, I guess, that goes to the Budweiser brewery (I always want to call it the Budweiser plant, but I guess brewery is more correct?). It's apparently getting used to store tank cars of propane, which doesn't worry me too much, I'm oddly sanguine about having tank cars of propane stored near me. I acknowledge that if there is a fault or accident that it could be terrible, but that doesn't seem very likely. However, as I watched the tank cars shuttling back and forth in front of me this morning (apparently the length of the train and the placement of the switches meant blocking the road I was on for about 10 minutes, which isn't very long, really, but is pretty frustrating when where I'm going is RIGHT THERE on the other side of the tracks - I could literally slip between the cars while the train is stopped and walk the rest of the way before they finish moving back and forth, but I do not do that) I noticed that all these propane tanks are marked Non-odorized and THAT really disturbs me. What's non-odorized propane doing out in the wild where it could leak unnoticed?

Our wings are not tired.

but boy that instant 2-day shipping that sometimes turns out to be even faster sure does come in handy.

And Sunday delivery too, kinda irresistible for someone that hates shopping. DH says he draws the line on drone delivery.

Because people were complaining about the smell.

That's a horrifying thought, Connie.

Sunday delivery continues to take me by surprise.

I was mildly stressed about being able to get everything ready for supplying foodstuffs for our monthly team-building thing tomorrow like I said I would, but it turns out that my co-worker was too busy to even put it on the calendar so I am off the hook. Ha!

We signed up for the 30 day trial of Amazon Fresh, because Pete's out of town and I don't drive. Having my locally made fancy yogurt delivered to my door (along with a bunch of other stuff) is kind of awesome.

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

Drs appts 2 & 3 done. I have 4 more months of meds assured and I still need to lose weight. Therapist was mildly concerned about how far I let my finances go, but agrees that I have a plan and as long as I stick to it doesn't see the need for anything else.

I picked up meds and a few groceries and am now home. Gonna knock out a movie, I think then see what I feel like.

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

I've gotta admit, I use the heck out of Amazon Prime. It's especially useful around Christmas, when I'm shipping things straight to my sister's (I have never spent Christmas at home as an adult). Also, Chewy.com is great for pet supplies--free 2-day shipping if you spend over $45 which, in the course of a month, I always do.

Apparently he shouldn't have to fix errors he gets because errors didn't happen before.

How prelapsarian of him.

Well, dang. I haven't heard that word since the freak-ass church.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My job is so funny -- the official dress code says that casual is never appropriate, but then they have these last-minute decrees of casual day pretty often, apparently. Like, tomorrow will be the second in the two weeks I've been here.

I had to look it up.
