Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

AUGH. I donated blood last Thursday and had some kind of allergic reaction, presumably to the antiseptic, so I have what's basically a mosquito bite around where the needle went in and I ignored it for a while and am now using a steroid cream on it and it still itches like a mofo and is slowly driving me insane.

Thrive to spite them

If we are on the registers at work we have to wear gloves. I will be sanitizing my hands as often as possible even with gloves.

At the meeting this morning I asked something about customers not following directions and my manage was most giddy when he said he would tell them no. We have a lot of power now, or managers do so the "customer is always right" thing is going to end for the most part.

If anyone has been looking for shelf-stable milk options without much luck (I could not find unsweetened coconut for weeks), Sprouts, which has instacart delivery, has a lot available for me locally.

Random thought: A show about a group of monsters that live at the corner of Maple and Elm.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ohio has food year-round.

This will NEVER not crack me up.

I ran out of bourbon and the only grocery delivery slot available was early-morning on Sunday when NY state law says you can't deliver alcohol.

Susan, I am so sorry for your loss.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Random plea: Dana, shrift, now that I'm falling down this rabbit hole, can I ask for recs on any good juicy thinky pieces on dS? I'm not a massive fic reader, which makes me a bad Buffista, but I do dearly love me some nice rich lit-crit-caliber analysis of a TV show, which makes me a good Buffista after all.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I'm not sure where to find due South meta these days, nor can I think of somewhere you could check. I can ask on Twitter.
