I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It should go just like this
It should but I am not willing to test. I am pretty well engulfed in knitted wool, though, so that will help.
I don't know what Sweetgreen is, but get that reward, Jesse!

Wild Geese
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

Oh, that's Mary Oliver? I don't think I ever knew her name. Sad now.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Eye dr appt this morning. My eyes are all dialated and I am reading the board at 8000x enlargement or something.
Super late to work and I cannot seem to care.
Sone of the ladies I was emailing with about the stray dogs this weekend have trapped 2 of the three we saw. Which is good since a cold front is coming. Also good because it looks like one is hurt. I won't be housing either of them. I have a second foster coming to me on Sunday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The line was only medium! So I didn't lose my free stuff. Phew.

We had earthquakes two mornings in a row, and I didn't notice either of them. I fail at California.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Torrential downpower in San Francisco this morning.
Also, for my Giapetta work I've had to create a working game demo that involves a cipher wheel and game design. None of which is really in my wheelhouse.
Fortunately I put Matilda to work for me and she was excellent at all the little fiddley bits that needed to be glued together and assembled, and then she videoed me as I explained the gameplay to my partners. (My partner Fred is 100% a visual learner and using WORDS is not helpful to him at all, hence me doing all this craftsy shit that I'm not good at.)
And then of course it was complicated getting a five minute video from Matilda's phone to my computer because it was too long, but chopping it up and sending it via Google Drive finally worked as we raced to the last minute and then got her on the bus.
In case you're wondering this is all part of us replacing our demos that got Blown The Fuck Up by the Bomb Squad, and we have to finish it before Toy Fair in February.
