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

Go pick three from your TBR pile/shelf and start with that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Snacks?

And for a drastic change of subject, I know there are plenty of young and healthy assholes out there, but I am ready for a certain generation of lawmakers and lobbyists and political figures to just fucking die off already.

Ugh, Wayne LaPierre is only 69. So much for that hope.

Ann, that's a ferret.

What books should I take?

An old-fashioned paperback murder mystery is usually a good choice. Perhaps an Ellery Queen.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Good boxes are packed, including alcohol.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Don't forget your meds and chargers, sj!

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

I always forget to bring my tea strainer.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, if you want a litany of stuff I've forgotten, don't forget your meds, socks, hairbrush, or chapstick.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We're going on vacation Saturday morning so naturally last night I had a panic dream that we were on the plane without any electronics or money. So um, phone and credit cards?

Because books.

Beach towels!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm pretty good with our list these days because we go to Mom's so much. So it's just a matter of the stuff I don't bring to her house.

I posted the pile of books I'm probably bringing on Twitter.
