All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Sheryl, I have avoided play dates at the house so far for just that reason.

Since there is zero chance of getting to see Captain Marvel this weekend, I picked up Ant Man and the Wasp at the library so that I'll at least be caught up on the Marvel Cinematic Universe when I do see it.

After failing hard at being social, I'm going to a live Dear Prudence podcast tonight, going to Captain Marvel tomorrow night, and Captain Marvel again on Saturday afternoon. This might be a bit Much.

'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"

I don't count Lyft driving as being particularly Social, even though sometimes I have some delightful conversations or get to hear stuff or whatever.

But this week I have: gone to a services orientation at the employment center on Monday, spent most of the day yesterday tramping around Old Sturbridge Village with a friend visiting, and tomorrow I go to another, hopefully useful 2 hour class on Writing Your Resume at the same center.

That's about 300% more social than usual for me.

Oh, and today I got fitted for a bra, which dammit should count as social because the saleswoman was very nice about it and actually found something that fits my odd (if perfectly functional) torso.

So make that 400%.

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

Way to go, Theo!

I hope it's all fun, shrift, and not just Too Much.

Almost done with my one day of work this week. I do not recommend this method of taking time off, btw.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats, Scrappy!

My week has been a little much with stuff after work, but at least tomorrow's activity is Captain Marvel! And you know how I always say my church is "not that kind of Baptist church"? I think we hit a new level today with whisky at the committee meeting. And I had already had a glass of wine with dinner, so I am pretty relaxed.
