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

No, just the laundry. 2 or 3 loads, simultaneously, because there are usually 3 free machines. Takes about 70 minutes, while I eat breakfast. Then I fold when I get home.

The status is NOT quo.

One does not simply become a morning person.

No, even after 23 years of having to be one every school day.

a friend of mine was talking about the late-hours laundry policy that his condo association set up a late night addition to what doing the laundry cost -- from $1 a load to $15 a load.

Wow that is crazy!! How loud is laundry that they need to disincentivize late night loads?? I would be super mad at this. (Though to be fair half the time I do laundry during the day since I work from home, but still! Sometimes last minute you need pants for a trip tomorrow or realize the blouse that goes with your interview suit is dirty or whatever...)

I was supposed to have a doctor appointment (consultation) today, and then my usual weightlifting class (just for December and January), but both got canceled. Now I'm not sure what to do with my evening. I kind of want to bake a cake, but I feel like I should go to the gym and see if I can lift weights there.

Our wings are not tired.

Every time the debate screenshot is Biden Sanders I see muppets in the theater balcony. It helps.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I regret to inform you that despite this board's collective cry out, it is somehow morning here. Seriously, rude.

Hey. New board.

My three-year-old is still waking me up between 5:30 and 6:00 every day. And I have to be at work by 7:45 with three children dressed and breakfasted. So I, too, am a morning person by necessity.

But still, I can't do chores before 8 a.m. on a weekend.

'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"

I woke naturally at 5 and couldn't get back to sleep. I'm not actually a morning person by preference, just genetic destiny.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I swear when I was on vacation, I slept 11 to 7ish most days, so why am I so tired back at work?? Is it really the extra few minutes between when my alarm goes off at 7 and whenever I would have woken up naturally that make such a difference??

Annoying.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I went to bed at 1, woke up at 4, back asleep at 5, and awake at 9:30ish. So a decent amount of sleep, yet not particularly restful.
