I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Dang, -t, I'm impressed you did that much feeling like you did!!

I took a shared Lyft home last night and the two younguns in the car were going out at the time I was going home. And I said I'd been at a friend's birthday celebration--they asked how old, I said 36, and they were like "wow good for her!" I felt ANCIENT.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Boo for all the people feeling sick.

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

Oh dear, meara.

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

You're a trooper, -t! I hope you feel better soon.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I met friends for drinks at 7:00pm last night and when I left them after midnight they were THEN heading down to South Beach to hit up some clubs. And these were people 5-10 years older than me. I felt like a complete failure. So I feel you.

Something told me to go to church this morning so I went. Haven't voluntarily been to a church service in over a decade. It was... weird? But good weird? Like, I'm not religious AT. ALL. anymore but I'm glad I did it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Ended up with 6 people at my party. Not all at the same time, though. Party started at 2. First person showed up at 3, stayed for an hour. Next person arrived ~15 minutes later, stayed for a little while and left. Little while later 2 people arrived, stayed for a while, then left. By that time it was 6:45 and the party was supposed to go until 7, so we figured that was it. Nope. After we had ordered pizza for dinner, another couple arrived and stayed for a bit while we ate.

sigh...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds nice, though, Sheryl.

And I said I'd been at a friend's birthday celebration--they asked how old, I said 36, and they were like "wow good for her!"

Hahaha. They let people that old out of the house???

ION, my mother made that chocolate/caramel/matzoh stuff with crystallized ginger, and it's literally all I can do not to finish it off right now. I'm kind of offended that people call it "crack," but I GET IT.

Coding and Sleeping

This weekend I replaced the front brake pads on my car, put together two bookshelves, helped my daughter with calculus, replaced basically everything in one of our toilets, did laundry, cooked, went to pharmacy, went to grocery store, went to pet store, and urgent care for a tendon problem in my elbow. Now I need to pay some bills and set up some SSL certificates. It has been busy.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Wow, Gud. THAT is productive. We packed boxes, packed more boxes, went and picked up our U-Haul Pod box, hired two very nice day laborers to help load it, and they filled it up. Then J drove it back to put it in storage, and brought another one and they filled it again. We offered our sad old couch to the laborers and they took it in addition to their pay. Then our realtor came over and we discussed what else we need to do to prep the house for pictures for its online listing. Oh, and did laundry and rearranged the backyard furniture.
