I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.

Car~ma for you, Epic!

Job~ma for askye! I'm sorry your mom is being so annoying and manipulative.

Hmmm, you do need to make a plan for the 50th, Erica. My 50th, almost 20 years ago, it was the year of the W&H shenanigans in LA. Good memories.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Heard from the mechanic. It's just a hose from the steering pump, not the pump itself, parts and labor will cost $400 and change. So, not as good as I hoped, but definitely better than it might have been.

Meanwhile, I took a mental health day from work today and just went to turn on the tv to discover that Spectrum is having an outage in my area, so no tv, no wifi. Maybe it's time for a little nap...

Thrive to spite them

sj I will do that. And I do have a job interview on Monday. It's at a Neighborhood Walmart. I can't remember what postion. I checked multiple positions locations when I applied. I'll see how it goes.

Thrive to spite them

And I have another at a different Walmart tomorrow. At the same time as the one Monday. I think. I didn't put it in my notes app because I'd remember it and now I'm doubting. I called the store back but no one in HR answered so I'm going to call a bit later

I picked out a novel-writing workshop as a gift from Mom. Maybe, in a perfect world, I'd do something crazier, but I'll talk to some strangers and maybe finish "Wedded Twist". Not all bad, right?

Sounds like an awesome gift for someone with writing talent and passion like you. Plus, won't take up space or gather dust in your house!

Mom did kind of find that to be a selling point, too. Not that she isn't interested in the first part, too, but we don't have a lot of closets.

I get it! My house is absolute Clutter City! No clear flat surfaces allowed! I'm currently on a "let's get rid of some of this crap" upswing, but am low on energy. But I realize an important first step is not to escalate by bringing in more stuff.

we even do declutter...this place was kind of built without storage. and, then, I bought pandemic consolation prizes, so yeah, still a bit too much.
