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

That all sounds delicious!

I suppose I should be proud I've gone nearly 62 years without spraining an ankle.

(It's possible that I sprained something when I was very young, but I sure don't remember it, and you'd think my mother would have brought up "the time you sprained your ankle" had it ever happened.)

The owner of the home I was supposed to go see today accepted an offer this morning and canceled the showing at the last minute. So, I decided to go donate blood—the first time I've been able to, thanks to the Red Cross' decreasing wait period and my increasing intervals between sex.

Our wings are not tired.

yes ankles, I think this community has learned, are slow to heal and easy to hurt.

I feel like an old lady when I walk super carefully on bad surfaces, but once you have hurt an ankle you don't want to do it again.

Off to my sister's house to watch the debate. I bought a big bag of cheese curls and she has wine. I just know Pence is going to be condescending and annoying. But I'll watch because it is what I do.

Awesome you donated Matt, even if the reason you're able to is sad!

Amen to that, sister.

The second half of it's not even that sad. I've had opportunities that I gave a pass because I was still crushing on the last guy I got together with.

I do not usually watch debates but I kinda want to see Kamala Harris in action

Sorry you didn't get to see the place, Matt (are you looking to buy? Did I miss you talking about this before? I might have I am pretty oblivious), way to make use of the unexpected free time in a really generous way!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

msbelle, Calli, amyparker and your Jim, Suzi, I'm so sorry for your losses, and I'm sad there were so many people in that sentence.

But! Baby! Congrats on the new baby, Suzi!

My ankle is getting better, well it isn't but I'm able to walk better than I ever thought I would, thanks to a miracle-worker of a physical therapist I found through a friend. It still hurts and is stiff, but I have almost all mobility back. Working on strength and flexibility. I walked across my sloping uneven yard the other day and almost cried because I could.

I'm getting settled in to my new job, and just as I was bemoaning that I like it but I seriously need more money, a guy I used to edit for as a side gig emailed me and offered me a contract. His company pays quite well and the document he just gave me to edit is 700 pages, so that's gonna take care of the credit card debt I ran up while I was unemployed. Which is a huge relief.

And Trump and Miller have got corona, so 2020 isn't entirely bad.

That's some good news there, Zen. Truly.
