Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Do not flog self! (advice for all)

Edit: so is there no way to make a less-than carat show up here? I tried as many as four.

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

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The Outside Lands music festival is taking place this weekend not far from my apartment, so I will be able to hear it all weekend, whether I want to or not. I've always been in Chicago for VividCon the same weekend as Outside Lands, but VividCon is no more. I'm planning to hole up and not spend much time out and about in my neighborhood while it's overrun with festival goers, so I guess I should knock off some things on my To Do lists.

OR I could just sit around and read all the library hold books that just came in and eat Jaffa cakes. I guess we'll see.

It's a perfect beach day out here right now, and is supposed to be the same all weekend I think, but I just want to lay around my house and also get some things done and I don't think I can do all of those AND go to the beach. Maybe the hammock, though!

I am getting a fair amount of work work done, which is good. I should still probably put in a few hours each day this weekend because I AM DISTRACTED AS FUCK!

Things that have made me stop and go look at pictures of the new place today:

- worry that the backyard has no shade and I will need to immediately plant trees (it has shade)
- wondering if the oven has a handle I can use as a towel holder (may seem small, but I hate ones that can't. it does btw)
