Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I didn't realize you were buying! That's extra exciting!!

I am also not feeling it. And someone sent an email at 6pm yesterday asking to meet with me at 9 this morning. So that's nice.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am in a few years ... for now, it's a rent-to-own kind of situation.

Our wings are not tired.

Is the porch swing still there, because I really want to chill there with you one day.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Love the house. Must fence in for doggo.

Yay negative test!

Dragging this morning also, but there is stuff to do and I will simply dissolve in tears if I get scolded for not getting something done, so ONWARD!

Sharing post from my #1 son (2010 HS graduate).

Congratulations class of 2010. We successfully avoided our reunion.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Have you seen the German video that shows an older man talking about how, in 2020, he was 22 and studying engineering and how he and his age group became heroes. Young, wanted to study, go out for drinks with friends, all the things young people want to do. Instead they did ... nothing. Says they were "lazy as raccoons". The couch was their front and patience their weapon.

I don't have a link for it, but it's around. There's also a second one with his wife (?); they lie in bed eating KFC and stay in.

move out and draw fire

Timelies all - I've been lurking for a few days and wanting to post DX memories etc, but the board doesn't quite allow that with my Chromebook.

Congrats on the house, Aimee! It's adorbs.

I've been working on a federal gov't contract, so we all have to go into the office. I understand that some agencies have some telework, but pretty much every agency is trying to balance the administration's demands that we stay open and pretend like it's no big deal with trying to keep the workforce safe. One localized result of that is that I've been spending every other week in a shabby windowless room without internet, because I only really need the gov't agency's computer, right?

(This is Raq btw)

Volans! I'm sorry about the windowless room. Ugh. I hope all is well with you and your family outside of the grim work conditions.
