Well, at least no 1.25 hr commute. And you made it a long way in.

Punishingly Intricate
Ugh, yeah, that commute would grow tiresome quickly.

Sigh. Person responded all "um, so is this a date? I'm not in a place to date right now sorry" like yeah, we made out but you weren't sure if this was a date???!?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I'm sorry, msbelle.
I'm sorry, meara, and I share your frustration. "Luckily" in I'm a grad school + work combo that barely lets me get sleep so dating cannot happen, but yeah, it is so frustrating.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I saw Jagged Little Pill last night. I think if you like Alainis you'll like it. The music is good. The performances are really good. There are some very cool things they do in the story-telling. My one gripe is that the following things are addressed in the show:
Climate change, gender identity, sexuality, rape, white privilege, inter-racial adoption, male privilege, opioid abuse, family dynamics/gender roles, class issues, academic pressure on youth, mental health stigma
It is a lot. Some is more organic and not stressed so much, but I think as big plot points, maybe they went one too many.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Ugh, meara. I'm sorry. You are awesome and deserve better.
Continuing job~ma, msbelle.
I locked my keys in the trunk of the car after getting groceries today and had to wait a half hour outside in the cold because my coat was also locked in the car. I'm so sick of my inability to do anything right lately.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
... I was going to say, "But what about....????" and couldn't come up with anything.
Edit: that was in response to msbelle, of course.
sj, be gentle with yourself.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I was trying to figure out if that was directed at me because that's how much I can't stand myself right now.

Yikes sj that sucks!! And here I was mad I sat on my $20 pair of glasses last night and broke them! That's def worse.
That said, I also feel like having to follow up on life things like a parking ticket and bills and a doctors office that hasn't called me back about scheduling a scan...it feels like So Much Effort. Like how can I possibly be expected to do that AND my job? ...even though I'm not actually working THAT hard and I don't have a commute or kids or pets. I may need some sunshine. Seattle has been SUPER gloomy this winter
