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

I am going to leave the house for the first time since Sunday and pick up dinner down the street.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

So very sorry, Jessica. Peace to all who love her.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I'm very sorry, Jessica.

Haha haha the warehouse is reopening on Monday everything we did today was maybe unnecessary. Well. I do appreciate my boss telling us now and not Sunday night or Monday morning, I guess.

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

Whole Foods order update: Seven items unavailable, five of them had substitutes available that I was willing to accept.

So, when I talked to my mom yesterday she mentioned that when she was out and about it seemed like everyone she saw when she went out for a walk or whatever was no only staying 6 feet away but not smiling or being friendly at all. Which seemed kind of odd. But I haven't been out at all, so I had no data to compare. So I went out just now to pick up dinner, and I drove because I'm lazy so I really didn't have a chance to interact with anyone but the person who gave me food (I don't think it was the chef, I've met her before and I think I would recognize her, but someone from the restaurant who came out with my bag) and I found it weirdly hard not to lean in and touch her on the arm or something when I took my bag. I never thought I was a touchy-feely person, but I guess I am?

This post brought to you by: maybe that's enough wine for this hour?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My condolences to you and your family, Jessica.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Matilda did not get into School of the Arts.

She's crying in her bedroom now.

This sucks.

I just feel so heartsick for her. She's such a good person and deserves good things.

{{{Matilda}}} I'm sorry, that's heartbreaking.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh I'm sorry. It is so hard to watch your child in pain. The worst.
