Timelies all!
Ugh, Mr. S has been awful today. I don't know what's gotten into him lately.
I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

I'm sorry, Sheryl. I'm so grateful that the weather has been good enough that TCG took ltc out on bike rides twice this weekend. She is literally bouncing off of walls with energy.

And now he's yelling for Daddy and hitting his door when he should be sleeping. This has been happening every night for the last week or so.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh jeez, Sheryl, good luck.
Glad you're feeling better, meara.
Walking by a store today, a guy offered me a free sample of CBD tea, and after I said no, all I could think was, "I wish to be tense."

Ugh, Sheryl. I think ltc is finally sleeping she was "reading" in bed for a while.

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

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I am tempted to tell my neighbors they need to sell their condo: I realize it's their retirement home and that they're gone all but a handful of days a year, but every time they're in there it snows!

Be careful, amy, sounds like they have powerful magic. Don't offend the Snow Queen. I am told it snowed here last night and that Does Not Happen (I didn't see it for myself so I don't entirely believe it, but if it's true it's downright shocking)
This is when I have to pretend very hard to be an ant and my weekend grasshoppering really comes back to bite me.

I had no warning that it would be snowing on my way to work this morning -- not enough to stick, but still surprising after it was in the 70s yesterday!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
We had a thunderstorm Saturday night. The local lore says that if you hear thunder in January you'll see snow in 10 days. I didn't actually hear the thunder, because it was ~2 AM and I was dead to the world. But the temperature is dipping dramatically in the long-term forecast.
