You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I can become exhausted just listening to ltc talk nonstop for several hours, not even taking into account that she's in constant motion.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Yes- you have a toddler! I think that is exhausting in and of itself

I am up because I had a horrible dream about politely interacting with my BFFs due to my godsons birthday party. Then the put his arm around me and I went ballistic. And I woke up realizing that if he goes off the rails he also knows where I live and also weird things about me, like that I can't lock my apartment when I am out because I don't have a key and that I sleep in the nude. I guess I need to figure out how to get a key (apparently my landlord can't make one, he only has a master)

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

Oh dear, Sophia! That's worrisome. Can you add a deadbolt and lock that?

What is even happening?

Sophia, I think your landlord must have some obligation to get you a key, even if that means getting a locksmith in to change your lock.

What would he do if you moved out and he wanted a new tenant? I can't imagine he'd tell prospects that they were shit out of luck where getting a key was concerned. He's just trying to put this back off on you. Don't let him.

Did you once have a key that you lost?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Seriously, Sophia.

You would think that when most of us take a couple of minutes to deliver our status updates, and my coworker takes more like 10, she'd notice a mismatch. Possibly consider that not everyone on the team needs that level of detail on what she's working on.

Punishingly Intricate

Yeah, Sophia, that is not acceptable.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The cold weather this morning is BULLSHIT.

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

Sigh. If you were me, where would you have put, oh, all of our important official documents? (Birth certificates, marriage certificate, wills, etc.) We used to have them in a safe deposit box, but then that bank branch closed, and I would swear that we got our documents back, but I can't *exactly* recall when, or what we did with them...

Our wings are not tired.

Ooops, I have mine in a plastic file thing. I think sock drawer would be a good place to check. Or random shelf in closet.

We have a fire safe for documents, and copies with one of my sisters.

If you tune in now, you will see my DH testifying today in Congress: [link]
