Most likely.

Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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

Our wings are not tired.
I think my teeth will be ground away to nothing before December. I even made the mistake of watching Rachel Maddow the last couple nights and between the CDC crap and the Electoral College shenanigans I may not sleep soundly again.
I was exhausted after getting up at 5AM to take DH to the airport. He still didn't finish stuff that needs to be done to my son's car so I let him take my car to work today. I could have taken him, but it is 80 miles round trip, and then I would have to pick him up again at 11 and not be home until midnight. Can't do it. Too tired. My sister offered to do the pickup since she is a night owl, but he is a safe driver and the route is basically rural farmlands with nothing but deer to present issues.
So tired.

Good news & bad news. Good is that we have an appointment to see an ideal apartment for son tomorrow. Getting a place has been challenging, but this sounds hopeful. Bad news is that DH had severe head pain when the plane was landing so his doctor is making him come in this afternoon. I think sinus infection, but doctor wants to check BP and other stuff too. He is at a record high weight so he is in for a record level of lecture from our doc.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Fingers crossed, Laura.
I continue to try to make my own fun. I decided I want new glasses, so I went window shopping online, and then realized that basically what I want is my old glasses, and my prescription hasn't changed, so I'm just wearing my old glasses again.
So therefore I finally ordered a roomba.
(What? I saved so much money on glasses!!!)

I love my not a roomba but some other variety of robotic vacuum. I just sit and watch it do my least favorite chore.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay old glasses and new roomba! Hope your DH is ok, Laura.
I feel like coming back to work was a terrible mistake. Except for the getting a paycheck part, which I do need. But three days of work feels like it might actually kill me by sheer weight of stress.

Is anyone else getting the "This is an apology call from your utility" scam a dozen times a day?

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

Haven't gotten that one. Mostly I'm hearing the car insurance ones that all mispronounce "warranty" that same way.
