Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ha, new x-kit is already on top of it.

Bless the x-kit people.

Meeting from hell still going on+ whoa nelly cramps+ neighborhood wine night= attempt at a whole week without missing a swim thwarted. Only one of those things brings me any joy.

This January has sucked. I'm gonna try to right things next month.

Finally ended. And I didn't understand 1/10th of it.

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

Timelies all!

I have a purring cat in my lap. Maybe she can thaw my legs out. (Ok, it's above 0F, so I shouldn't complain. Still too cold...)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

And... my dad's in the hospital, for a lingering infection that has lingered for the last three months, and I just found out from his girlfriend that he's actually had and been using a home O2 tank periodically for the last month and didn't tell anyone but her. January can super go shit in its hat and wear it.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

JZ, I'm so sorry -- what a sad way to die that is, from something so correctable and really quite minor. What a loss for everyone.

I'm on Day Three of a bad Cold, the kind I used to get all the time as a kid, where my sinuses block off the tear duct drainage so that I get watery eyes and sinus-headache from Hell. And none of the OTC drugs I have on hand seem to be doing much at all. Tonight it seems to be backing off a bit.

It does help that The Roommate has finally given me a check for the past two months, so even if I get back to driving Lyft tomorrow (dubious) it'll be a short week paywise, but I'll be able to make the mortgage and the homestead will be saved once again.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

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

Oh, man, JZ. I hope he gets better soon and maybe tells you what's going on a little more in the future. NO MORE NASTY SURPRISES FOR JZ UNIVERSE

Glad to hear that, Theo!

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

Oh, JZ. I hope the hospital is able to get that under control quickly.
