Zen, that really, really blows. What a shitty thing.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, Zen.
So Mr. S woke up at 2:30 saying he was scared. I let him sleep in the bed with me, and luckily he went back to sleep right away. Still, another sleep-interrupted night was not what I needed.

Coding and Sleeping
So sorry, Zen. That really sucks. I sure hope you can find something good.
I'm on a short vacation, the first in a long time, and, of course, I fucked it up because that's what I do. On the way down my wife mentioned wanting to visit a state park we passed and I forgot. She just told me I messed up and I offered to visit it on the way back, but it's apparently too late now. I tried hard not to fuck up again, but I always do. The world would be a lot better without me.

What is even happening?
My son is having his surgery tomorrow. Your thoughts, prayers, good wishes, and vibes are appreciated.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Many good thoughts and wishes to him (and you), Cindy!
Ugh, Zen, I'm so sorry. I hope you find something else great soon.
Gud, that sounds like a mistake, which humans make from time to time, and a pretty minor one in the grand scheme of things. I'm worried for you if you really feel the world would be better off without you, which is entirely untrue. When was the last time you looked into therapy?

Here's hoping a new, non-stressful job makes an appearance in short order, Zen.
Best wishes on your son's surgery Cindy.
Gud, was your wife struck mute by the powers that be on the way past the state park she wanted to visit? If not, the mistake was hers, not yours.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, I just caught up on the news. That was a bad idea.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Son~ma, Cindy!
That does sound somewhat fun, Jesse.
Your vacation doesn't really sounds somewhat fun, Gud. It also doesn't sound like you have ruined everything by forgetting to stop at one park. The world would be a whole lot poorer without you, hon, please believe us about that.

I wish I knew more people here or the students in my classes wanted to hang out (but really, not like a 19 year old boy and I are going to be besties, he's busy drinking and partying). Two new girls in class today (in addition to the boy, from last week). One is two months into a journey with her husband to bicycle through South America. They plan to take a year. Dang!
Meanwhile, doing laundry—the guy unlocked the laundry closet for me again (after last time when I had to pay him $10 to do that he said he'd do it again). Apparently I'm here two weeks but they don't clean at any point...but also don't normally let people do wash....so, two week old sheets? Kinda gross. Not thrilled. I have another week here, then a day in Bogotoa, then I fly home.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My son is having his surgery tomorrow. Your thoughts, prayers, good wishes, and vibes are appreciated.
All the good vibes.
I fucked it up because that's what I do
You didn't fuck up, and that's not what you do. You're a very intelligent, competent, hard-working and productive person who has an abusive, gaslighting wife.
Zen! Fuck those fuckers! I hate them for you.
