Exciting update: Today I worked, ate lunch, and had a meeting! I'm really very sure I'm allowed to stop working now.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So far today I learned that the contractor who repaved our driveway last year never closed out the permit so we owe the village clerk some paperwork AND that I somehow got added to a list of class helper parents at my daughter's school??? GO AWAY NIBBLING DUCKS NOBODY WANTS YOU HERE.

In case this brings you any comfort, it's been 16 days since the second round of elections for 2019 here (14 days since all the votes were counted), and we have zero idea who the Prime Minister is or if the current government will last until November. I decided to avoid most of the news and headlines until we have a stable government.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Did a fair amount of driving today, felt useful.
What's annoying is that I made a point of buying new sneakers a couple weeks ago, and what with the increased amount of walking I've been doing -- to and from work is about 2.6 miles -- and I think they're making my feet feel worse after a full day's wearing. I think I've given them enough time to be "worn in" and it's not working.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Can you replace the insole with one more suited to your delicate paws? I have high arches, and I can't wear my beloved Keds or Converse without throwing in some supportive insoles from the drugstore.

My Achilles tendon will make my life hell if I don't put heel supports in every pair of shoes I wear.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
There's also something to be said for switching shoes mid-day, to change up the pressure on your feet.

Well, it looks like we'll be spending another night in Iceland, since the earliest we can get out is Sunday. Which is better than Tuesday, which is when they originally rebooked us.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh noooo! That's wild.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Ooof. The wind forecast for KEF does look better for you now than it did yesterday.
