Our wings are not tired

Online selling is a grind. We are clearing out some old equipment through a few fronts, and sometimes it just feels like an endless stream of either nothing, or scammers.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm kind of with Jessica on used book stores. There was a store in Chapel Hill, NC, called The Bookshop where you never knew what you'd find -- in a good way. Sadly, they closed some years ago.

My Firefox new tab page is promoting a story about tetanus with the subtitle 'What does rust have to do with it?' and all it does is make me think of Tina Turner. "What's rust have to do with it? What's rust but a second-hand oxidation..."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm supposed to be in a webcast, but the invitation tells everyone to go to conference rooms, and has no information for viewing in remotely. Oh, well, guess I'll have to spend this hour catching up on the late-night shows.

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

Breakfast fail. I bought two burritos that sounded delicious and ISTG I read the ingredients but when I went to eat one this morning I saw potatoes on the label. First ingredient! Argh. But was starving and couldn't think of anything else to eat so I took a Benadryl and had one and it wasn't even that tasty. I'm gonna leave the other one in the freezer at work for someone else to eat. Benadryl is working, though, so that's good and later there will be pie.

Mmm, Tina Turner.

I stayed up too late reading (accidentally! I didn't realize how long the book was and suddenly it was midnight!) and when I woke up this morning started to make coffee before realizing I used up the last of the coffee yesterday. Boooo! Ended up taking a long walk to the grocery store and also picking up Starbucks. Because argh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But not to be too much of a Pollyanna -- long walk!!!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

That was my first thought! Long walk = getting around!

Lol, well by long I mean three blocks. But yeah. Can limp around, though stamina and flexibility are not there. A bit scared to go back to the docs in two weeks, for fear they'll say "yep, you may never have flexibility and may always limp and not be able to run or dance, but your stamina will get better!"
