This sounds like the start to a creepypasta. Or a fairy tale, which is kind of the same thing.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I know creepypasta is a thing but it just makes me think of WWDitS decorating for the Baron

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Woo hoo, Laura!
For the first time since 2019 I'm back at work processing documents that are related to Nazi Germany and Nazi thinking/rationale. I'm always a bit low when I'm working with these materials, but doing so these days...
That's got to be wearing. My job was mostly about Ebola back in 2014 or whatever, and it was just so exhausting. Great to do important work that matters, but exhausting.

End of the work day and I am all out of ice cream sandwiches. I do have a bottle of bellini (or Trader Joe approximation, anyway) which might be calling my name. Or I might just lie down in front of the fan and not move for a while.

That sounds like a metaphor.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I spent 6 months teaching ltc how to write her letters, and she insisted the whole time that she had to draw them from the bottom up, no matter how many times I tried to correct her. Today she comes home and says, "Guess what momma! Ms K said you should start letters from the bottom!" t headdesk

Why does it matter, sj? (I switch back and forth.)

lisah, I think when you're learning to print it is just easier to do it that way. All of the tracing books have arrows that show you the easiest way to make the letters.

It can be. I'm not opposed.
