Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh.

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

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

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

Thrive to spite them

I keep getting "someone in your family recently stayed at (some hotel)" and blah blah.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I don't know what spam calls I'm getting, because I have a spam blocker. But I do know the number has gone from 1–2 a week to 6–7 a day. They show up on my phone as "potential spam" and I don't answer. I figure if it's a real person who really wants to talk to me, they can leave a message.

Our wings are not tired.

I don't hear past the first recorded word, but my sister got 3 'your social security number has been cancelled' calls in one day last week.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We have Caller ID, so we don't answer if we don't recognize the number. Sometimes it even says Spam? before the ID.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

In not spam news, thanks to USPS informed delivery, I'm now impatiently waiting for my mail to be delivered so I can find out why the IRS is sending me a letter.

I'm trying not to catastrophize until I read the damn thing, so I've limited myself to a few minutes of freaking out and getting my tax returns handy.
