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

Listening to the radio, checking FB, anything that gets me news before I get out of bed is a Bad Idea. I need to remember that.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

It's a bad news day for sure. I saw an alert late last night about a shooting in NZ and quickly decided I didn't need to read that before bed. Saw another alert this morning and was genuinely shocked to see that the number was 49 killed. Just horrific.

Our wings are not tired.

One of the reasons I have been extracting myself from news sources by 9PM. I generally don't see how much the world sucks until I get on my computer in the morning after the animals are fed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yep, I am checking out of the world today. Work and fictional TV. And food.

I am sickened by the news from NZ this morning. I would much rather talk about sheets.

Also, I am a firm believer in having a spare set of sheets and swapping them out so it is at least theoretically possible to change the bed without doing laundry, but I can see the appeal of just having the one and not having anything to store.

This is my method, but I am married to a man who doesn't really believe in the extra sheets, so instead of stripping the bed and making it again right away, he does all the laundry and remakes the bed with the same sheets. Which is so much more work! (OTOH, he does the laundry and then makes the bed, so it's not like I'm COMPLAINING. But it's so weird.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Laura, best vibes for Zoe.

Maybe it is naive of me, but I am shocked that this happened in New Zealand.

Yeah, would rather talk about sheets, for sure. I guess if you only have one set of sheets you never ever have to fold a fitted sheet.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Health~ma to Zoe.

I read about the New Zealand shooting. One of the people at the mosque was interviewed, and he said that if New Zealand isn't safe, then he doesn't know where they can go. It's heartbreaking.

I have two sets of sheets in regular rotation (cotton), one heavy cotton flannel set that's a bit much for NC's idea of winter, and some t-shirt material sets that I need to Kondo because I haven't used them in years. The regular ones are getting pretty old. I think one set belonged to my parents, and neither of them has been alive for the past 10 years. Probably time for some new sheets.

In other first world problems, I ate breakfast too early today and now I'm hungry even though it's only 11am.
