It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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

Thanks for letting us know, Gud.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thanks for checking in, Gud.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Thanks, Gud.

I'm temp blocked from commenting on the FB post. My efficient c&p technique evidently resembles spam.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Glad to hear it, Gud. Thanks for checking in.

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

Take care of yourself, Gud.

It's Christmas-Carol-overheard-backstage time! Children are drawing... YP supervisor: "That's good, it looks like a sketch by Leonardo DiCaprio."

Weird, huh?

On the one hand, you're psyched for Brandon to spot you and want to shoot you and interview you.

But then you are subjected to the opinions of thousands of people who don't know you.

Gud. Please tell us once you have contacted the suicide prevention hotline or spoken to a domestic abuse counselor. If you don't feel safe doing so at home, you can call from work. Please do this.

Herding cats for fun

I must be a terrible housekeeper because I didn't notice the disgusting condition of my kitchen cupboards. Droppings throughout. Three junk drawers full of yuck. Why, rodent, why? There is absolutely no food in with the old batteries and spare power strips!

Interesting that the paper napkins and brown paper bags got shredded. The red solo cups are pooped in. Guess I'm not going to wash those.

Tomorrow I will remove all the canned goods so I can wash down the shelves and then clean all the pots and pans. What fun.

Tomorrow will be another bad air day and I am so tired of the gunk hurting my sinuses.

My dad had a health crisis on vacation a few weeks back and now he's in surgical rehab up in Bozeman Montana trying to gather the strength for a plane trip home to the Bay Area. Fortunately his wife is a retired nurse, so he's been in good hands but it's hard that he's so far away. Hopefully we'll be together for Thanksgiving but no one can be sure if that will happen. This frail mortality is awful.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

we got hit by the mouse invasion -in spring - cleaned everything - and traps. hated to do that - but even when everything was in plastic and glass - they were still in the house. I hear them in the walls sometimes, which drives me bonkers. and the cat - he doesn't care
