You have a bassoon playing neighbor?

I went to dinner with some random folks from the school—the other girls decided after dinner to go on a club crawl run by one of the hostels. Which didn't kick off until 11:30pm. I noped out of that. Too old, too tired. Too "didn't bring any clubwear".

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Do not forget

Stay out of debt

There is one other thing you have to do

To thine own self be true

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That's the song!

You have a bassoon playing neighbor?

Yep. The soundtrack to my life is quirky.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Read this.

I tried to read it while waking up. It took time to understand that this is some kind of a parody.

Pix and ND, no fire ~ma to you.

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

Stay safe, ND and Pix!

I'm off to a book festival for the day, and then to see Rachel Bloom from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend perform today. ltc is spending the entire day with my in-laws, which has never happened before. Should be interesting.

Our wings are not tired.

Watching the fires is stressful, even from afar.

{Sheryl} I'm sorry the grandparents are more stressful than supportive.

Sounds like a great day, sj. Enjoy!

Just got back from doing hospital stuff with my sister. More tests, meds, and restrictions in her future. Step-dad is expecting to be released tomorrow. I figure to head north again on Wednesday.

'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"

Sheryl, it's kind of proof of concept that your Dad's attempts at discipline don't work on Mr. S, because it's not that you're not dealing with the poor kid "appropriately" because it's a situation where punishment won't work at all well, and in fact may exacerbate the disobedience and destructiveness.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yeah, Theo, that's true. As an example, we decided to go to the Maryland Zoo today, and Mr. S started complaining that he was hungry part way there. When food wasn't forthcoming, he started spitting at me and my dad, and hitting me. The rest of the trip wasn't great.

I am so fucking sore. lower back, hamstrings, glutes, right quad, right shoulder and tricep.

I was feeling better Wed and Thursday, then Friday had massage and yesterday was rough, but today is a disaster. I think my right quad has been compensating so much for the sore lower back and hammy, that now it is done for. just crampy whenever I need it to stand or sit.

stupid weakass core. Once I get through this, we are spending every other gym time on core.

getting comfortable in bed and sleeping is the absolute worst. any movement requires pushing up my body weight with my arms and legs and they are not having it.
